　　Cross was what people call a mystery(神秘和)man. We had known him for over five years even since he became a member of our club. But he had a way of keeping his personal life to himself in all but unimportant facts. We knew his address though he did not ever invite us to his home and his age too but only small matters of this kind.

　　It appeared that he did not have to work for a living as we did. He had once mentioned a piece of property left by someone on which he managed to live comfortably. He was not however a man of luxurious(奢侈的)habits: he was not especially well-dressed and he did not even have a car. At the age of forty-five he was still single since marriage was not a subject(话题)he ever discussed. We had no means of finding out whether he regretted the lack of a wife.

　　Cross disappeared suddenly from our circle shortly after we came to learn the first really meaningful facts about our mystery man. From reports that appeared in the newspapers together with photographs of a man who was without any doubt our Mr Cross it was discovered that he was a most skilled house -breaker operating mainly in the London area; and that he had practised this for many years until he was caught and sent to prison.
