　　When I reached the hotel，I went straight to my room and rested there until it was time for dinner.Then I went down to the dining room and ordered a drink.I had hardly raised the glass to my lips when an all too familiar voice greeted me.I had not escaped from the tiresome neighbor after all！He grasped me warmly by the hand and insisted that we share a table.“This is a pleasant surprise，”he said，“I never expected to see you again after all these years.”

　　52．The writer didn't want to meet his ex­neighbor because________.
