I was with my father on a businessandpleasure trip, and in our leisure hours we were having a wonderful time. “It39。t e,” said Father. “It would be wonderful to show her around.”He had visited Denmark when he was a young man. I asked him, “How long is it since you were here?”“Oh, about 30 years. I remember being in this very inn, by the way.” He looked around, remembering. “Those were gracious days” He stopped suddenly, and I saw that his face was pale. I followed his eyes and looked across the room to a woman who was setting a tray of drinks before some customers. She might have been pretty once, but now she was stout and her hair was untidy. “Do you know her?” I asked. “I did once,” he said.The woman came to our table. “Drinks?” she inquired. “We39。t recognize me,” muttered Father mopping his face with a handkerchief. “I knew her before I ever met your mother, ”he went on. “I was a student, on a tour. She was a lovely young thing, very graceful. I fell madly in live with her, and she with me.”“Does Mother know about her?” I blurted out, resentfully. “Of course,” Father said gently. He looked at me a little anxiously. I felt embarrassed for him. I said, “Dad, you don39。t want you wondering about this. Her father objected to our romance. I was a foreigner. I had no prospects, and was dependent on my father. When I wrote Father that I wanted to get married he cut off my allowance. And I had to go home. But I met the girl once more, and told her I would return to America, borrow enough money to get married on, and e back for her in a few months.”“We know,” he continued, “that her father might intercept a letter, so we agreed that I would simply mail her a slip of paper with a date on it, the time she was to meet me at a certain place。d married. Well, I went home, got the loan and sent her the date. She received the note. She wrote me:” I39。t. Then I found that she had been married about two weeks before, to a local innkeeper. She hadn39。t. I went home, met your mother, and we39。t in Denmark or any European country. Over here they write the day first, then the month. So that date wouldn39。t show up that she got married.” He was silent a while. “Well,” he said.“I hope she39。t have met Mother.” He put his arm around my shoulders, looked at me with a heartwarming smile, and said, “I was doubly lucky, young fellow, for otherwise I wouldn39。t really believed that Dad would be doing It sending Granddad away. “Away” was what they were calling until now could he believe it of his father. But here was the blanket that Dad had bought for Granddad, and in the morning he39。d be having together. Dad was off seeing that girl he was to marry. He would not be back till late, so Petey and Granddad could sit up and talk. It was a fine September night, with a silver moon riding high. They washed up the supper dishes and then took their chairs out onto the porch. “I39。t that a fine blanket!” said the old man, smoothing it over his knees. “And isn39。ll be few blankets there the equal of this one!”It was like Granddad to be saying that. He was trying to make it easier. He had pretended all along that he wanted to go away to the great brick buildingthe government place. There he39。t believed Dad would really do it, not until this night when he brought home the blanket. “Oh, yes, it39。t the kind to cry and, besides, he was too old for that. He39。s fiddle.The blanket slid to the floor as the old man took the fiddle and stood up. He tuned up for a minute, and then said, “This is one you39。d try to be a good mother to him, and all. . . .The tune stopped suddenly. Granddad said, “It39。s going to marry. He39。s best that I go away, like I39。ll be going to sleep. I39。t hear the two people ing down the path. Dad had one arm around the girl, whose bright face was like a doll39。t say anything, but the girl came forward and spoke to Granddad prettily: “I won39。s kind of you,” said Granddad, with his eyes cast down. Then, seeing the blanket at his feet, he stooped to pick it up. “And will you look at this,” he said. “The fine blanket my son has given me to go away with.”英語經(jīng)典晨讀美文3The ocean covers three quarters of the earths surface, produces 90 percentof allits lifesupporting oxygen, and is the driving force behind the entireweather system.
