She began to look a little pale. Pretty soon she looked over at the stairs and said in a weak voice, "I never came up the stairs before. You see, I went out of town yesterday on a short business trip. Oh, Harry!" Then she threw her arms around his neck and really began to cry.
After a minute she backed away and pointed very stiffly toward the north end of the station. "Harry, for three years, for three solid years, I've been right over there working right in this very station, typing, in the office of the stationmaster."
浪漫路曲曲折折
由于我工作的地方在联合车站的行李寄存处,我看得见每一个上楼的人。
哈里3年多以前来到这里,站在楼梯口等待9点05分到达的火车旅客。
我还记得那第一晚见到哈里时的情景。那时,他瘦瘦的,神情焦虑,就像个孩子似的。他穿戴整齐,我知道他是在等女朋友,而且在她到达20分钟之后他们就要结婚。
旅客们过来了,我得忙碌起来。等到9点18分的那趟车快到的时候我才再往楼梯方向看去,我吃惊地发现那个年轻人还在那里。
她也没乘9点18分的那趟车来,9点40分的车上也没她。等10点02分那趟车的旅客全都到达并离开后,哈里显得很失望。很快他走近我的窗口,我就招呼他,问她长得什么模样。
“她个子小,皮肤黑,”他说,“19岁。走路的样子很利落。她的脸,”他想了一会儿,说,“很有个性。我的意思是说她会生气,但从不会生气太久。她的眉心处有一个小点儿。她有一件褐色毛皮大衣,不过可能没穿着。”
