8. Translate into English: Превосходный учитель
- Молла, ты разве даешь уроки чужеземного языка?
Да, конечно! Ведь я изобрел особую систему, которую испытал на своем ученике, и могу тебе сказать – учил превосходно.
И что же, твой ученик в совершенстве овладел языком?
Нет, не знает ни слова.
Постой, как же так? Ведь ты же сказал, что учил его превосходно!
Учил-то я его действительно превосходно, но он просто ничему не научился.

Sherlock Holmes had apprehended three thieves: Robert, Walter and Frank. Each of them had robbed a house in a different part of London at approximately the same time.

The one who robbed the house in Clapham stole the landscape painting. Walter didn’t steal the silver coins.
In what part of london did frank commit his crime and what did he steal?
