About six months earlier it seemed that I had delivered a letter to her,which had her street number on it but was addressed to another house with the same number on a different street in the neighborhood.

And Christy,with her kids,moved into Johnson's house. A few months later,I saw a For Sale sign in their yard. I feared the marriage might be in trouble,so I made up an excuse to go to their door and check on them. Christy opened the door,smiled broadly,and pointed to her huge stomach.

The big Town Hall clock was striking midnight when Frank began to cross the bridge. The dark night air was cold and slightly wet,and the street lamps gave little light.

Frank was anxious to get home and his footsteps rang loudly on the pavement (人行道) . When he reached the middle of the bridge he thought he could hear someone coming near behind him. He looked back but could see no one. However,the sound continued and Frank began walking more quickly. Then he slowed down again,feeling shame at having acted so foolishly.
