P.T. 巴纳姆：奋斗与胜利·补录 607
P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导
The General thanked me, and promised to be very discreet. A change now came suddenly over him in several particulars. He had been (much to his credit) very fond of his country home in Bridgeport, where he spent his intervals of rest with his horses, and especially with his yacht, for his fondness for the water was his great passion. But now he was constantly having occasion to visit the city, and horses and yachts were strangely neglected. He had a married sister in New York, and his visits to her multiplied, for, of course, he came to New York “to see his sister!” His mother, who resided in Bridgeport, remarked that Charles had never before shown so much brotherly affection, nor so much fondness for city life.

白话
将军答应巴纳姆会谨慎行事，但随后突然变了：以前他最爱在布里奇波特乡下骑马、玩游艇，现在却总找借口进城，马和游艇都冷落了。他在纽约有个已婚姐姐，于是探望姐姐的次数猛增——当然，他是“去看姐姐”。他母亲也注意到，查尔斯从没这么爱往城里跑。这说明：当一个人行为模式突然改变，背后往往有隐情。观察细节、保持警觉，但也要给人留面子，别急于戳破。
