In Picture 4, a girl received a
beautiful and expensive diamond
from one of her friends or relatives
at her birthday party. The diamond
is so huge that many people there
felt astonished. They all admired
the diamond very much.
Picture 5 is about a party or
getting-together. Some Indians or
Muslins are performing their
programs to entertain the people.
As for the last picture, many women
are frightened to one’s wits. One
person is looking for something and a
man with sharp eyes is standing
besides her. A woman in another room
notices it.

R: Thank you, Godfrey!
G: Rachel, I have a secret in my
heart. I’ve been in love with you,
Rachel. You’re pretty, elegant
and considerate. You’re also kind
and friendly. I’m expecting your
love. I beg you to promise that
you will marry me in the future.
R: We are already good friends. I
think that’s enough. Besides, I
have a boyfriend. We have been
in love with each other for a long
time.
G: Oh, sorry! But we will be very
happy if you marry me. We are
both from rich families. We are well-
educated. I will do whatever I can to
make you happy if you marry me.
R: Sorry! I love my boyfriend and so
does he to me. You will forever be
our good friend even if my boyfriend
and I get married in the future. As a
friend, I hope you to get rid of
some bad habits.

happy forever.

Sample dialogues How did Rachel feel about losing her diamond?
A: I’m sure that Rachel must be very
astonished when she found the
Moonstone missing. Because there
were no other people except her
family and her friends Franklin and
Godfrey. She was puzzled at whoever
could have stolen the diamond.
B: I think she must be worried and
disappointed because she loved the
diamond very much, which she got as
her birthday present. She was
worried the diamond would not come
back to her any more.
A: Don’t worry, Rachel. I think it can
be found somewhere after our
efforts.
B: Do you remember very well that
you put it in that drawer of the
cupboard yesterday evening? You

to comfort her?
may have put it in your jewel box
or other places. Let’s look for it
carefully.
C: I’m sure nobody here might have
stolen it. The police can help you
find it and give it back to you even
if it has been stolen.
D: It doesn’t matter, Rachel. It is hard
to say that is bad luck or good luck.
It has been bringing your uncle bad
luck or sadness.
E: Don’t worry, Rachel. I’d like to ask
Sergeant Cuff, the most famous
detective to investigate it. I’m sure
that he can help us find the diamond.
Situation 3:
What suggestions and advice might
they have given her?
Situation 3:
What suggestions and advice might
they have given her?
A: You should look for the Moonstone
somewhere else again. You might
have forgotten wherever you
put it last night.
B: You’d better call the police station
and ask them to investigate who
stole it as soon as possible.
C: There are many famous detectives
here. You can hire one to investigate
it. They may help you find it.
D: I’m sure it must have been stolen
by one among us. Why don’t you
call all the people together and
question and search us? You don’t
have to let the police or detectives
help you.
Situation 4:
Who do you think might be the thief?
Give your reasons.A: I think it is the most possible that
the Indians might have stolen the
Moonstone. Because Rachel’s uncle
had ever murdered the three Indian
holy men who had been keeping the
Moonstone much more than their
lives and stolen it and brought it to
London, Britain. The Indians found
that the Moonstone was in Rachel’s
home. When the birthday party was
being held, they pretended to be
performers so that they could find a
chance to steal the Moonstone and
take it back to their country.
B: I think Godfrey might have stolen
the diamond. He was refused by
Rachel when he had asked her to
marry him. He became angry and
hated her. So he stole the
diamond and kept it for himself.
C: I think her mother may have stolen
it because she also liked the
diamond very much and worried
that it might be lost or stolen if
Rachel kept it.
D: I think her boyfriend Franklin
Black may have stolen it. As the
English saying goes, “Love me, love
my dog”. The man may have wanted
to keep the diamond for her to get
her true love or he may have been
in debt to sell it to pay off his debt.
E: I think Rachel’s servant, Rosanna
may have stolen the diamond
because she had never seen such a
big diamond and she wanted to sell
it for a large amount of money,
then she would live a happy and
rich life.
Talking on P243
1. Tell the differences between them.
A: I’ll tell the difference about their
clothes between Rachel and Rosanna.
Rachel had quite a lot of beautiful
clothes, shows and caps and she also
had much jewellery and furniture.
She might change her clothes every
day. However, Rosanna had very
few clothes and never had jewellery
and very little furniture.
B: I’ll tell the difference about how
they spent their time. Rosanna had
to get up very early every morning
and kept working from 5:00 am to
9:30 pm. It usually lasted 14 hours a
day. She was busy working all day
from morning to evening until she had
served evening tea at about 9:30 pm.
Then she could sit in the servants’ hall,
playing cards or chatting with other
servants before going to bed. But
Rachel had free time all day. She
got up very late in the morning.
She might play with her friends, do
some reading at home or talk with
her parents. She went to bed at
about 9:30 pm.
C: Both Rachel and Rosanna might
think about many things in their
lives. Rachel might think about how
to get a good education, how to get
along with her friends, how to make
herself look more beautiful, how to
make herself happy, when and
where to meet her friends, whether
to attend the parties she had been
invited to and so on. While Rosanna
might think about how to do her work
better, how to satisfy her masters, how
to learn the things she couldn’t do and
how to make her life happier and
more comfortable in the future.
D: There was an obvious difference
between their food. Rachel had
three different meals every day and
her food was always delicious with
good nutrition while Rosanna had
a very simple, basic food every day.
E: In everyday life, Rachel might talk
with her parents or friends about
her education, feelings, clothes, diet,
jewellery but Rosanna might talk
about her work, her family, her
friends, what she heard or saw,
especially what happened in
Rachel’s family.
F: What was important to them? They
might have different opinions. To
Rachel, she might think things such as
friendship, money, clothes and
jewellery, education, her family were
important. However, Rosanna might
think things such as her family, her job,
money which were important to her.
A: I’ve never seen such a large
beautiful diamond. It looks more
beautiful on Rachel.
B: It is said that it was stolen by her
uncle from the Indian moon god
and it had brought him bad luck.
He gave it to Rachel as a birthday
2. About the Moonstone.
present when he was dying so that
it passed bad luck to Rachel in
revenge for his sister’s scold.
C: I hope the Moonstone can bring
good luck to Rachel because she is
a good, friendly and kind girl. Now
it is missing, which worries us all. I
hope Rachel can soon find it.
D: But I hope that it will never return.
I’m afraid that it will really bring
bad luck to Rachel.
E: I think some people could have
stolen the Moonstone. I think it is
most possible that Godfrey or the
Indians have stolen it.
A: I heard Godfrey asked Rachel to
marry him, but she refused him. I
think it was wise of Rachel to refuse
Godfrey because he is a mean,
narrow-minded man.
3. About Rachel’s decision not to
marry Godfrey.
B: But I think it was wrong of her to
refuse Godfrey because Godfrey
showed her true love and she
would live a happy life with
Godfrey.
C: But I know that Rachel doesn’t
love Godfrey at all, though
Godfrey likes her very much. She
would lead a sad life in the future
if she marries Godfrey.
4. About Sergeant Cuff.
A: It is said that Rachel’s mother
has asked Sergeant Cuff to help
find the Moonstone. He is a most
famous detective in London and
he has detected many cases.
B: I’m not sure whether he can detect
this case and find the diamond. He
has good, rich experiences of
detection, but this case seems very
complicated and strange.
C: I think Sergeant Cuff is certainly
able to find the Moonstone with his
experiences of detection.
5. About Rachel’s relationship with
Franklin.
A: I think Rachel refused Godfrey
only because of Franklin. She
knows that Franklin loves her
very much and she also loves him.
B: I don’t agree with you. I think they
are only close friends because they
have been good friends since they
were very young. They often help
each other and talk a lot.
C: I think they are lovers. Franklin is
a smoker but to please Rachel, he
has begun to quit smoking cigars
and he is very considerate towards
Rachel. And it is clear that Rachel
also loves Franklin very much.
