高中三年级英语(人教版)全一册 Unit 13 Reading 1

　　At first Sergeant Cuff suspects the Indians. He finds out that they are not real entertainers, but religious followers of the moon god. They follow the Moonstone around the world waiting for an opportunity to take the diamond back to India. The detective wonders whether they hid somewhere in the house until everyone was asleep and then stole it.

　　He goes on asking questions about the party and learns about Franklin's quarrel with Dr Candy. He also hears that Godfrey was disappointed when Rachel refused to marry him. Did Dr Candy or Godfrey take the Moonstone as revenge for loss of face?

　　The servants also had opportunities to steal the Moonstone. Sergeant Cuff discovers that Rosanna, the maid, was a thief before Rachel's mother gave her the job. The other servants report that she has recently been busy doing something in her room late at night, and often goes for walks alone. Rosanna also seems very fond of Franklin. The detective believes she may have taken the diamond either from force of habit or to cause a disagreement between Rachel and Franklin.
