20、a week agoMr Utterson looked at him thoughtfully,but said nothingmore1 一扇神秘的门 律师厄特森先生是个不爱说话、一本正经的人。在陌生人面前,他非常腼腆,不爱流露自己的情感,可当着朋友,他的眼睛总闪烁着关心与真诚的光芒,虽然这种真与善在他说的话中不大找得到,可在他的待人处世中一点一滴都没有漏掉。在生活上,他从不放纵享乐,吃喝也很随意、简单;即使很喜欢看戏,他也有20年没有进过剧院了。可是,他对别人的缺点却是宽容得不能再宽容了,总是想着去帮助他们而不是责备他们。作为一名律师,他经常是罪犯走进监狱或者踏上黄泉之前见到的最后一个好
21、人,这些人的心里会一直保留对他的温文尔雅和公正无私的记忆。厄特森先生最好的朋友是他的一个远房表亲,叫理查德思菲尔德。这个人是城里出名的“爱热闹”,交际场里的老手。谁也搞不明白他们为何居然是朋友,他们可真有天壤之别。但他们却经常一起散步,一走就是好远,穿过伦敦的街道,安安静静地做着伴。有一次,他们散步走到伦敦闹市区一条狭窄的背街上。这条街干净、热闹,人们也和善,一家家亮亮堂堂的小商店,门环锃明透亮。但是就在街道的尽头,有一幢阴暗、神秘、没有窗户的楼房,门上既没有铃也没门环,还到处是灰,显然已好久没人打扫了。脏兮兮的孩子们在门口疯玩疯闹,也没人开门轰他们走。一天,他俩走过这幢房子,恩菲尔德指着问道
22、:“你注意过那儿吗?它让我想起一个奇怪的故事。”“哦,是吗?”厄特森先生说,“给我讲讲。”“好吧。”恩菲尔德先生开始讲了,“那是个冬天的早上,天黑漆漆的,大概3点钟吧,我正要回家,突然看见两个人。头一个是个矮个子,正沿着街边走,第二个是个小姑娘,跑得很急。两个人一下撞到了一起,小孩儿摔倒了。接着,可怕的事发生了,那个人穿着沉甸甸的靴子,冷冷地从孩子身上压了过去,小姑娘躺在地上尖叫着。做这种事真残忍。我从后面追上来,抓住那人,把他拽了回来,这时一小群人也围到了又哭又叫的孩子身边。那个人非常镇静,一脸漠然,还狠狠地瞪了我一眼,真是让我反胃。孩子的家人这会儿也赶到了,还来了一个医生。原来小姑娘是去请
23、医生给邻居家病人看病的,她正要回家。“孩子与其说是伤着了不如说是吓着了。医生是这么说的。你也许以为故事到这里就该结束了。可是你想,我对那个小个子十分厌恶,小姑娘的家人也一样当然,这很正常,可连医生(他看上去那么和善、安静),也盯着那个罪犯看,好像恨不能把他给杀了。“我和医生彼此心照不宣,都冲着那人大声指责,并声称要让整个伦敦都知道这事,让人人都唾弃他的名字。“他阴森森地瞪了我们一眼,还是一副不可一世的样子,开个价吧,他说。“我们让他答应付给孩子家100英镑。他又翻了我们一眼,把我们领到那边的那扇门口,掏出钥匙,进了楼。不一会儿,他又出来了,递给我们10镑金币和一张康茨银行的支票,上面写着90英
24、镑,支票上的名字是大家都很熟的人。“你看,医生满腹怀疑地说,够奇怪的,早上4点,一个人走进一所空房子,然后又拿着另一个人签名的支票出来了,足足快100镑呢!“放你的心吧,一脸凶相的矮个子说,我和你们等着银行开门,看我自己兑钱好了。“我们离开那儿,医生、罪犯和我到我家挨过了后半夜。到了早上,我们一道去了银行,支票是真的,没问题,钱很快就转给小姑娘家了。”“哦,是这样,”厄特森先生说。“是啊!”恩菲尔德说,“这事真怪。明明肇事者是个冷酷、残忍的家伙,可签支票的人却是伦敦有名善良、慷慨的人。这样的人怎么会把支票给一个罪犯呢?”“你们也不知道支票的主人是不是住在那幢房子里?”厄特森先生问。“我可不喜欢
