Tantripp would never have found the clew to this mystery.

坦特里普永远不会找到解开这个谜团的线索。

She was not in the habit of devising falsehoods, and if her statements were no direct clew to fact, why, they were not intended in that light — they were among her elegant accomplishments, intended to please.

她没有编造谎言的习惯， 如果她的陈述不是事实的直接线索， 那为什么，它们不是出于那个目的——它们是她优雅的成就之一， 旨在取悦他人。
