英语灵异故事-The Coffee Cup 02 神秘的咖啡杯 02

[00:15.56]The Coffee Cup
[00:23.25]神秘的咖啡杯
[00:30.33]Each morning I would get the key to the dining room
[00:33.46]from the front desk
[00:34.97]and unlock the ornate gate with stained glass panels
[00:38.78]that served as the dining room's front door.
[00:42.31]The dining room always was very dark
[00:44.86]as its windows were shuttered each night,
[00:48.39]the sun had not yet risen when I arrived,
[00:52.05]and the alcove 1 in which the lobby doorway
[00:54.81]was located did not let light spill in from the lobby,
[00:59.22]so I would quickly maneuver 2 around the cash register area
[01:03.01]and grope for the panel of light switches under the counter.
[01:07.35]Although the dining room
[01:08.97]had been cleaned by the previous night's crew,
[01:12.12]I noticed that there always was a half-drunk cup of coffee
[01:16.19]left on the table nearest the kitchen.
[01:19.40]That table's chair at the cup's position
[01:21.94]always was pulled back
[01:24.03]as if someone had just been sitting there.
[01:27.58]This never fazed me,
[01:29.21]but it struck me as peculiar 3 and rather rude
[01:32.99]that someone would leave a dirty cup like that.
[01:36.90]The kitchen crew would show up just a little after I had,
[01:40.80]but they entered through the loading dock doors at the back
[01:44.02]as they were not supposed to be seen by hotel guests.
[01:48.30]The other busboy who opened on the weekends told me
[01:52.45]he often found a cup on Saturday mornings
[01:55.41]but never on Sundays.
