perjury

I doubted not - never doubted - that if mr . reed had been alive he would have treated me kindly ; and now , as i sat looking at the white bed and overshadowed walls - occasionally also turning a fascinated eye towards the dimly gleaming mirror - i began to recall what i had heard of dead men , troubled in their graves by the violation of their last wishes , revisiting the earth to punish the perjured and avenge the oppressed ; and i thought mr . reed s spirit , harassed by the wrongs of his sister s child , might quit its abode - whether in the church vault or in the unknown world of the departed - and rise before me in this chamber 此刻,我坐著,一面打量著白白的床和影影綽綽的墻,不時還用經不住誘惑的目光,瞟一眼泛著微光的鏡子,不由得憶起了關于死人的種種傳聞。據說由于人們違背了他們臨終的囑托,他們在墳墓里非常不安,于是便重訪人間,嚴懲發假誓的人,并為受壓者報仇。我思忖,里德先生的幽靈為外甥女的冤屈所動,會走出居所,不管那是教堂的墓穴,還是死者無人知曉的世界,來到這間房子,站在我面前。
