Chapter 5 After the coffee and sandwiches,
2
Inspector Walsh called Roger Clarkson to the office.
3
Roger came in and sat down.
4
The inspector began at once.
5
Now, Mr. Clarkson, why was your mother angry with you last night?
6
This house is very big, Roger said.
7
It was a lot of work for Mother.
8
I wanted her to move.
9
But no, she loved this house and garden.
10
She didn't want to move.
11
Tell me about your job, Mr Clarkson.
12
Your mother is dead, and now you're rich. Do you need money?
13
Roger's face was suddenly afraid.
14
What are you saying?
15
I didn't kill my mother.
16
I need money, that's true.
17
A friend and I want to build ten houses here, in this garden.
18
We can get a lot of money for them.
19
So I wanted Mother to sell this house.
20
It's true.
21
But Mr Briggs wanted half the garden too,
22
you know, for his farm." Inspector Walsh moved a pencil on the table.
23
"'Tell me—' "'What happened upstairs?
24
You went to your mother's room?' "'Yes, I did.
25
I wanted to say good-night to my mother.' Did you talk about the house again?
26
Yes, I did.
27
Again, she said no. She loved the house and didn't want to sell it.
28
Inspector Walsh watched Roger for a minute.
29
I see.
30
We found the empty bottle of sleeping tablets, Mr Clarkson, in Diane's room.
31
Roger's face did not change.
32
Oh?
33
Someone put them there.
34
Diane did not kill my mother.
35
I know that.
36
She found the body.
37
Very well.
38
I would like to see Diane next.
39
Roger got up and left the room.
40
Inspector Walsh stood up and put his hands in his pockets.
41
He went to the window and looked out at the trees.
42
Why was Roger Clarkson afraid? Was it important?
43
He looked at Sergeant Foster.
44
"'Tomorrow morning.
45
Go to Mr Clarkson's office.
46
You have the name,' he said.
47
"'Ask some questions about him.
48
About his job.
49
Friends.
50
Money.' Sergeant Foster wrote it down.
51
"'Yes, Inspector.' "'A good day for tennis, Sergeant?' Sergeant Foster laughed.
52
Don't say that.
53
It's not easy, you know.
54
I don't like sitting here, looking at the sun.
55
Diane came into the room and sat down.
56
She looked at Sergeant Foster and smiled.
57
I saw you at the tennis club last month, I think.
58
You play very well.
59
Sergeant Foster's face went red.
60
Inspector Walsh looked at him.
61
Oh, yes.
62
A fast and exciting player is Sergeant Foster.
63
Diane smiled again at Sergeant Foster, and his face went redder.
64
Well, Miss Clarkson, Inspector Walsh said.
65
I want you to talk about last night.
66
Diane stopped smiling.
67
Oh, I can talk about last night.
68
I can't stop talking about it.
69
We were all angry.
70
Mother went to bed early, and I made hot milk for her.
71
We were all in the kitchen.
72
And Peter Hobbs came in.
73
He nearly broke the back door down.
74
Diane stopped.
75
Yes?
76
He was very angry about a letter.
77
He wanted to kill Mother.
78
Are you going to talk to him?" "'We're going to talk to everyone.' "'Good.
79
Tom Briggs came into the kitchen too.
80
Are you going to talk to him?' "'I'm asking the questions,
81
Miss Clarkson.' "'When did you take the milk upstairs?' "'I went up after Roger.' She stopped for a minute.
82
Then she began again.
83
I didn't like my mother, Inspector.
84
She killed my father, you know.
85
Last winter, after Christmas, she drove the car into a tree and killed my father.
86
Mr. Walsh watched Diane's face carefully.
87
I see.
88
So you wanted to kill your mother?
89
Diane laughed.
90
I wanted to kill her, but I didn't.
91
I can tell you a lot of things about this family, Inspector.
92
Everyone wanted Mother to die.
93
Uncle Albert wanted her money for his wife, Annie. And then, my brother.
94
He needs a lot of money.
95
He has an expensive house and an expensive car. And think of Jackie.
96
Do you know that Jackie didn't like Mother?
97
A long time ago, a nice boy worked here.
98
He was the gardener.
99
Jackie loved him very much.
100
But Mother said no. A gardener was not a good husband for a Clarkson girl.
101
Inspector Walsh listened quietly.
102
All this was very interesting. But was it important?
103
Perhaps.
104
What a happy family the Clarksons were.
105
We found the empty bottle of sleeping tablets in your room, Inspector Walsh said quietly.
106
He watched her face carefully.
107
Diane stood up suddenly, her face angry.
108
What?
109
I didn't put it there.
110
I'm not going to listen to this.
111
She ran out of the room.
112
Well, well, well, Inspector Walsh said.
113
She likes you, Sergeant.
114
You need to be careful.
115
Sergeant Foster laughed, but his face went red again.
116
Someone put sleeping tablets in Molly's hot milk, the inspector said.
117
All the family were in the kitchen last night.
118
Peter Hobbs and Tom Briggs were there too.
119
One of them killed Molly.
120
Inspector Walsh got his hat and coat.
121
Come on.
122
We need to talk to Peter Hobbs and Tom Briggs.
123
Let's get some more coffee first.
124
I'd like a sandwich too.
125
I'm hungry again.
126
Thank you.
127
Thank you.
128
Thank you.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
