我隐约记得电影版里的那两个小孩子很邪恶，是他们俩把家庭教师弄得精神错乱的
评分给吓尿了。。真是哥特风格鬼故事 复习的时候都不敢看
评分两个星期，一百三十多页的一个短篇，看一点扔一旁；看一点扔一旁。过程毫无乐趣。终于看完了，没明白。翻了两眼评论，又觉得有趣了，再看一遍。。。
评分reading Washington Square, everyday several pages on metro on the way to office. Surprised to find that this is classic tales of terror....-_-!
评分从此爱上Henry James
