Mr. Cubitt said,
“Last year, I met a young American lady named Elsie
Patrick in London.
We quickly fell in love.
One day, she told me that she
had known unpleasant people in the past.
She did not want to discuss
them.
Looking back, I should have asked about her past before.

Nevertheless, we got married.”
He continued,
“Last week, I found those
dancing figures on the window so I had them removed, but when I
mentioned it to my wife, she became overwhelmed with panic and firmly
insisted that we should not get rid of them.
The next day, I found a piece
of paper with the same message in my garden.
When I showed it to Elsie,
she turned pale and fainted.
It was like she was trapped in a nightmare.”
Looking back, I should have asked about her past before.

<should have p.p.>는 ‘~했어야 했다‘는 뜻으로 과거 사실에 대한 후회를 나타낸다.

He continued, “Last week, I found those dancing figures on the window so I had them removed, but when I mentioned it to my wife, she became overwhelmed with panic and firmly insisted that we should not get rid of them.

<have+목적어 p.p.>는 ‘(남에게 시켜서) ~가 …되게 하다’는 의미로 여기에서 have는 사역동사로 쓰였다. 예를 들어, I had my hair cut.과 같은 문장은 ‘내가 다른 사람을 시켜 나의 머리가 정돈되게 하였다’는 의미이다. <insist that+주어+(should)+동사원형>은 주장을 나타내는 구문으로, should는 생략될 수 있다.

After a soccer practice, the boys and their soccer coach decided to explore Tham Luang Nang Non caves in Chiang Rai.

After는 ‘…이후에’라는 뜻의 전치사로 사용되었으며, decide는 to부정사(to explore)를 목적어로 취하는 동사로 ‘…할 것을 결정하다’이다.

With a heavy step, a gentleman named Hilton Cubitt walked into the room. He was carrying a piece of paper with strange symbols on it. He greeted Holmes and Watson, and then asked for Holmes’s help in solving the mystery on the paper.
Holmes asked, “It seems to be a childish prank. Why do you think these stick figures are important?” Mr. Cubitt replied, “I don’t, but my wife does. Those little men are frightening her to death. I must know what they mean.” Holmes asked, “Could you kindly go over your story for me and my friend, Dr. Watson?”
