アンの愛情 第十六章

Chapter XVI Adjusted Relationships(23)

原文
"I do, honey. It's one of my few--sadly few--useful accomplishments. I've disposed of several at home. You take the cat in the morning and give him a good breakfast. Then you take an old burlap bag--there's one in the back porch--put the cat on it and turn over him a wooden box. Then take a two-ounce bottle of chloroform, uncork it, and slip it under the edge of the box. Put a heavy weight on top of the box and leave it till evening. The cat will be dead, curled up peacefully as if he were asleep. No pain--no struggle."
