Lesson 24-2
A skeleton in the cupboard
/ə/ /ˈskɛlɪtn/ /ɪn/ /ðə/ /ˈkʌbəd/
I once spend an uncomfortable weekend which I shall never
/aɪ/ /wʌns/ /spɛnd/ /ən/ /ʌnˈkʌmfətəbl/ /ˈwiːkˈɛnd/ /wɪʧ/ /aɪ/ /ʃæl/ /ˈnɛvə/
forget at his house. George showed me to the guestroom
/fəˈgɛt/ /æt/ /hɪz/ /haʊs./ /ʤɔːʤ/ /ʃəʊd/ /miː/ /tuː/ /ðə/ /ˈgɛstrʊm/
which, he said, was rarely used. He told me to unpack my
/wɪʧ,/ /hiː/ /sɛd,/ /wɒz/ /ˈreəli/ /juːzd./ /hiː/ /təʊld/ /miː/ /tuː/ /ʌnˈpæk/ /maɪ/
things and then come down to dinner. After I had stacked my
/θɪŋz/ /ænd/ /ðɛn/ /kʌm/ /daʊn/ /tuː/ /ˈdɪnə./ /ˈɑːftər/ /aɪ/ /hæd/ /stækt/ /maɪ/
shirts and underclothes in two empty drawers, I decided to
/ʃɜːts/ /ænd/ /ˈʌndəkləʊðz/ /ɪn/ /tuː/ /ˈɛmpti/ /drɔːz,/ /aɪ/ /dɪˈsaɪdɪd/ /tuː/
hang one of the two suits I had brought with me in the
/hæŋ/ /wʌn/ /ɒv/ /ðə/ /təʊ/ /sjuːts/ /aɪ/ /hæd/ /brɔːt/ /wɪð/ /miː/ /ɪn/ /ðiː/
cupboard. I opened the cupboard door and then stood in
/ˈkʌbəd./ /aɪ/ /ˈəʊpənd/ /ðə/ /ˈkʌbəd/ /dɔːr/ /ænd/ /ðɛn/ /stʊd/ /ɪn/
front of it petrified. A
/ˈkʌbəd/ /dɔːr/ /ænd/ /ðɛn/ /stʊd/ /ɪn/ /frʌnt/ /ɒv/ /ɪt/ /ˈpɛtrɪfaɪd./ /eɪ/
skeleton was dangling before my eyes. The sudden
/ˈskɛlɪtn/ /wɒz/ /ˈdæŋglɪŋ/ /bɪˈfɔː/ /maɪ/ /aɪz./ /ðə/ /ˈsʌdn/
movement of the door made its way slightly and it gave me
/ˈmuːvmənt/ /ɒv/ /ðə/ /dɔː/ /meɪd/ /ɪt/ /sweɪ/ /ˈslaɪtli/ /ænd/ /ɪt/ /geɪv/ /miː/
the impression that it was about to leap out at me. Dropping
/ði/ /ɪmˈprɛʃən/ /ðæt/ /ɪt/ /wɒz/ /əˈbaʊt/ /tuː/ /liːp/ /aʊt/ /æt/ /miː./ /ˈdrɒpɪŋ/
my suit, Idasheddownstairs to tell George. This was worse
/maɪ/ /sjuːt,/ /aɪ/ /dæʃt/ /ˌdaʊnˈsteəz/ /tuː/ /tɛl/ /ʤɔːʤ./ /ðɪs/ /wɒz/ /wɜːs/
than "a terrible secret'; this was a real skeleton! But George
/ðæn/ /"ə/ /ˈtɛrəbl/ /ˈsiːkrɪt;/ /ðɪs/ /wɒz/ /ə/ /riːd/ /ˈskɛlɪtn!/ /bʌt/ /ʤɔːʤ/
was unsympathetic. “Oh, that,” he said with a smile as if he
/wɒz/ /ˌʌnˌsɪmpəˈθɛtɪk./ /“əʊ,/ /ðæt,”/ /hiː/ /sɛd/ /wɪð/ /ə/ /smaɪl/ /æz/ /ɪf/ /hiː/
was talking about an old friend. “That's Sebastian. You
/wɜː/ /ˈtɔːkɪŋ/ /əˈbaʊt/ /ən/ /əʊld/ /frɛnd./ /“ðæts/ /sɪˈbæstɪən./ /juː/
forget that I was a medical student once upon a time.”
/fəˈgɛt/ /ðæt/ /aɪ/ /wɒz/ /ə/ /ˈmɛdɪkəl/ /ˈstjuːdənt/ /wʌns/ /əˈpɒn/ /ə/ /taɪm.”/
