The only person I know who has a skeleton in the cupboard is George Carlton, and he is very pound of the fact. George studied medicine in his youth.

I opened the cupboard door and then stood in front of two suits I had brought with me in the cupboard.

A skeleton was dangling before my eyes. The sudden movement of the door made it sway slightly and it gave me the impression that it was about to leap out at me. Dropping my suit, I dashed downstairs to tell George. This was worse than "a terrible secret'; this was a read skeleton! But George was unsympathetic. “Oh, that,” he said with a smile as if he were talking about an old friend. “That's Sebastian. You forget that I was a medical student once upon a time
