I first met Annie Mae, a maid (女仆), at my parents-in-laws’ in 1959. She prepared and 36 meals in her quiet, gentle way and then returned to the kitchen to read her Bible (《圣經(jīng)》) while we 37 . She was a devoted Christian. I found this increasingly true 38 I came to know her more by observation than by conversation.
My husband and I 39 visited his parents. Each time I saw her eating 40 , reading her Bible, I wanted to sit down with her and just talk. 41 , whites didn’t do that with blacks then, and I had to 42 the practice.
In 1965, I decided to 43 the furniture and return to my home state with my two 44 when my husband wanted a divorce (離婚).
Annie Mae asked if she could buy the boys’ 45 . When I answered 46 , she asked the price. Then, she asked if she could 47 a little money each month. She was 48 , and I knew her well.
Then each month, an envelope 49 us from Annie Mae with 2 or 3 dollars. A year passed. Annie Mae’s 50 payment arrived along with the following note:
Dear Mrs. Holladay,
I am sending you my last payment of three dollars for the beds 51 . I told my two sons they could now put the beds 52 and sleep in them, for they are now paid for and rightfully 53 us.Thank you for your 54 .
Annie Mae
I read the note two or three times, my eyes filled with tears. Had I only known earlier, I would have said, “Use them now. Don’t 55 until you pay for them.”

Nowadays, a hospital always manages to keep its beds full. This is good on the one hand, and it’s bad on 36 hand.
One day, I went to see a sick friend at the hospital. I first went to the 37 desk, where I could get a permit to visit the patient.
38 I could ask which room my friend was in, the lady set down my name, age, filled out a form and 39 a bell. I was just about to tell her what I was coming for when two men arrived with a wheelchair, 40 me in it and pushed me down the hall.
“I’m not 41 ,” I shouted. “I’m just looking for a friend.”
“When he comes,” one man said, “we’ll 42 him up to your room.”
In a minute I 43 myself in a small room. In no time they undressed me and covered some other things 44 me. One man said “If you need anything, press the button.”
“I want to get my 45 back.” I begged.
“Oh, you can 46 us,” a voice said, “Even if the 47 happens, we will see that your wife will get everything.” They left and locked the door 48 them.
I was trying to think of how to escape by the door when Dr. Ward came in with several of his 49 .
“Thank God you finally came,” I said.
“It hurts that badly?” he asked.
“No, on the contrary, I am not ill 50 .”
Dr. Ward looked 51 . “If you don’t feel any pain, that means it’s much more 52 than we expected.” Then he turned to his students, “This is the most difficult kind of patient to deal with because he refuses to 53 that he is ill. __54__ he won’t tell us where it hurts, he will never be well again until we find the hurt out for 55 by doing exploratory surgery (手術(shù)探查) .”
