There was (1) ______ knock on (2) ______ door. I opened it and found (3) ______ small dark man in (4) ______ check (格子花纹) overcoat and (5) ______ soft hat. He said he was (6) ______ employee of (7) ______ gas company and had come to read (8) ______ meter. But I had (9) ______ suspicion that he wasn't speaking (10) ______ truth because (11) ______ meter readers usually wear a peaked (有檐的) cap. However, I took him to (12) ______ meter, which is in (13) ______ dark corner under (14) ______ stairs. I asked if he had (15) ______ torch (手电筒); he said he disliked torches and always read (16) ______ meters by (17) ______ light of (18) ______ match. I remarked that if there was (19) ______ leak in (20) ______ gaspipe, there might be (21) ______ explosion while he was reading (22) ______ meter. He said, "As (23) ______ matter of (24) ______ fact there was (25) ______ explosion in (26) ______ last house I visited; and Mr Smith, (27) ______ owner of (28) ______ house, was burnt in (29) ______ face. Mr Smith was holding (30) ______ lighted match at (31) ______ time of (32) ______ explosion." To prevent (33) ______ possible repetition of this accident, I lent him (34) ______ torch. He switched on (35) ______ torch, read (36) ______ meter and wrote (37) ______ reading (读数) down on (38) ______ back of (39) ______ envelope. I said in (40) ______ surprise that (41) ______ meter readers usually put (42) ______ readings down in (43) ______ book. He said that he had had (44) ______ book but that it had been burnt in (45) ______ fire in (46) ______ Mr Smith's house. By this time I had come to (47) ______ conclusion that he wasn't (48) ______ genuine meter reader; and (49) ______ moment he left (50) ______ house I rang (51) ______ police.
