A Rose for Emily- (P-395) 

1."The men did not want to interfere, but at last the ladies forced the Baptist minister--Miss Emily's people were Episcopal-- to call upon her. He would never divulge what happened during that interview, but he refused to go back again". 

2. My guess: I thought the word divulge meant dicussing or telling. 

3. Definition:  disclose, reveal, tell, communicate, pass on, publish, broadcast, proclaim; expose, uncover, make public, give away, let slip; informal spill the beans about, let on about, let the cat out of the bag about. 

4. I think reading is an excellent way to develop our vocabulary just by focusing the case that is mentioned in the sentence and relating the meaning of the word that we dont know to it. Like in the previous sentence I understood that divulge had to something with communicating what happened to Emily's father.
