T: Do you remember your guess about who was the real thief to the Moonstone?
S: Yes. We have different opinions.
T: As a matter of fact, all of your answers are not right. Next we’ll enjoy the second part of the story. I think we can make it clear who was the real thief.
S: In other words, the mystery will be solved. Yes?
T: Of course.
Step II Reading
T: Scan the passage quickly and answer the questions.
Who actually stole the Moonstone?
S: Godfrey.
T: Now you are given some more time to read the text for some detailed information. Then answer some questions.
Whom did the detective suspect of having taken the Moonstone?
S: Many people were suspected, including Godfrey, Dr Candy, Franklin, Rosanna, the Indians and Rachel.
T: In fact, most of them were innocent. The story tells us Rachel was also innocent. But why didn’t she answer Sergeant Cuff’s questions?
S: The reason why she did it was that she saw Franklin take the diamond and wanted to protect him from Sergeant Cuff by not answering his questions.
T: According to the text, Rachel actually saw Franklin take the Moonstone. Howerer, Franklin didn’t remember anything. Do you know why?
S: Because Dr Candy had put some opium into Franklin’s drink to prove to him that it would be helpful for sleeping.
T: According to the text, we know Godfrey stole the diamond. But to our surprise, Godfrey was murdered, and the Moonstone was still missing. Who do you think was guilty for Godfrey’s death? What clues can you find to support your guess?
S: Some Indians who appeared at Rachel’s birthday behaved strangely. Some Indians attacked Godfrey. The Moonstone returned to its true home in India, where it once again decorates the forehead of the statue of the moon god. So we can infer that some Indians were guilty for Godfrey’s death.
Step III Writing
T: The writing task is also linked to the story.
The text says that Rosanna sent Franklin a letter. What do you think she would have written? With your partner write the letter from Rosanna to Franklin.
How does Sergeant Cuff feel about accusing Rachel of taking the Moonstone? Write a letter from Sergeant Cuff to Rachel apologizing for his mistake.
You can choose either to finish. But you should pay attention to the difference about the style of the two letters.
Dear Franklin,
It took me a long time to decide to write this letter to you.
I know what you did on the night the Moonstone disappeared. Because I found the paint stains belonging to the thief on your clothes when I cleaned your room. I want to keep you out of trouble, so I hid the evidence. Maybe you don’t know why I did it. That’s because of love. I have been in love with you since I met you for the first time.
I’m very sorry for Miss Rachel. But I don’t know what to do to help her without telling the truth to the detective.
Wish you good luck.
Sincerely yours,
Rosanna
Dear Rachel,
I’m writing to tell you in the hope of getting your apology. I suspected you of having taken the Moonstone yourselves. It proved to be wrong.
I hope you will accept my apology.
Yours,
Sergeant Cuff
