“It’s 8:15 on a Sunday morning,” said the officer, Tidwell, “and this sort of thing seems an unlikely adventure(冒險) at such a time. Would you mind explaining?”

   The man was astonished(吃驚的) at the voice from behind. He turned about and said, “I know what you’re thinking, officer, but it isn’t true. It’s a very funny mistake.”

   “I think you’ve just left this house in a manner rather than the usual one. That may be quite all right, but I’d like to make sure.” Tidwell took out his notebook and a pen. “Name, address and occupation and then, please tell me your story.”

    “Charlie Crane, lorry(卡車) driver, from Nottingham, 51 Brecon Street. My story?”

    “Yes, What were you doing like a fly on that wall, Mr. Crane?”

    “Well, I had a breakdown yesterday and had to stay the night here. The landlady’s name is Mrs. Fern. She gave me breakfast at seven, and I was out of here in the right way and down at the lorry park by half past seven. It was only when I felt around for a cigarette that I realized I’d left $80 under the pillow(枕頭) here. It’s a habit I’ve got into. I even do it almost every day.”

    “I see. Why didn’t you miss it when you meant to pay Mrs.? What’s her name?”

    “I paid her last night. You’ve got to pay when you take the room, see? So I came rushing back, but it’s Sunday, and she’d gone back to bed. I rang the bell and banged on the front door for ten minutes before I came round here. Up I went this pipe(管子) and the money was still there. You know the rest, and I hope you believe it because….”

   “Mr. Crane, whatever are you doing here? I thought you’d gone an hour ago.” It was Mrs. Fern.

It was a cold winter's night when I stopped for gas(汽油) on my way home from work. I was tired and had a little   41

     I worked in a   42   doctor's office, and during those days many unexpected things

happened. It seemed that I was going to be late getting home today. My husband who is a

punctual(守時的~) person would be ready to   43   again. Maybe   44   I hurried, I could still  arrive home earlier.

     I was going inside to   45   for my gas when I noticed an older couple at the counter(柜臺). I heard them asking for   46   to the local hospital. It was the same hospital that I had just   47   a few minutes ago.

     At the counter, a young man was quite  48   . He was trying to  49  how to get there,

with two other people. One of them was   50  trying to give them a whole different route back. It

was then that I walked over to the couple and said, "Would you like to follow me to the   51   ?"

     A look of   52   appeared on the woman's face.

     "I'm going right by there," I said, and it wasn’t a(n)   53   since I had just decided to do

exactly that.

     I got into my car and began the journey back. I was trying to make them be sure they were

right   54   me. It took only fifteen minutes to get there. I felt   55   than I had all day and my  headache was nearly gone.

     Later, as I arrived home, my husband teased(嘲笑), "So you aren't ever late any more." I said,

"Sometimes it's good to be late."
