2． "What if I told you that I murdered Basil？"
"You couldn't murder anyone，Dorian.He probably fell into the Seine from a bus.By the way，where's that wonderful portrait he did of you？Oh!I remember now.You told me years ago that you sent it to Selby Manor and that it got lost or stolen on the way.What a pity!I wanted to buy it.I wish I had now." Lord Henry said.
"I never really liked it，" said Dorian.
"How have you kept your youth，Dorian？You must have some secret.I'm only ten years older than you are，and I'm wrinkled and old.Please，tell me your secret.To get back my youth，I'd do anything in the world，except take exercise，get up early，or be respectable."
When Dorian arrived home that night，he sent his servant to bed，and sat down on the sofa in the library.Then he began to think about his life.
"I've been an evil influence on my friends，and I've ruined the lives of many good young people，" he thought， "Ah!Why did I pray for the portrait to grow old，and for me to stay young？I worshiped beauty and eternal youth，but they ruined me.It's better not to think of the past.Nothing can change that.I must think of the future.James Vane is dead.Alan Campbell is dead，too.He shot himself one night in his laboratory."
"I'm safe now，" he continued. "Basil painted the portrait that ruined my life.I can't forgive him for that.Everything is the portrait's fault."
He began to wonder about the portrait. "If I'm good，maybe the portrait will become beautiful again，" he thought. "I'll go and look."
He took the lamp from the table and went upstairs.As he unlocked the door，he smiled. "Yes，I'll be good，" he thought， "I won't be frightened of this portrait any more."
He went upstairs to the room and locked the door.Then he pulled the purple cloth off the portrait.He gave a cry of pain.The portrait was more horrible.His face looked more evil.There was new blood on the hand and on the feet.
Dorian trembled with fear.Dorian looked round the room and saw the knife that stabbed Basil Hallward.It was bright and shining.
"This knife killed the artist，and now it will kill the artist's work，" he thought.
He grabbed the knife，and then he stabbed the portrait with it.
