Tsuan, who didn\u2019t know Albert that well, knocked on Albert\u2019s door. And Albert \u201caccidentally\u201d mentioned in his example that Fang had a secret of making up his mind to kill the intruder. Just like what he said, \u201cTo eliminate a word completely, to refer to it by means of inept phrases and obvious paraphrases, is perhaps the best way of drawing attention to it.\u201d<\/p>\n
