“This isn’t happening, ”I said. “There must be some mistake. Please look again”.
The girl studied the passenger list. “No, Mr Bryson, your name is not here. ”But I could see it, even upside-down. “There it is, second from the bottom”.
“No, ”the girl decided, “that says Bemt Bjornson. That’s a Norwegian name. ”
“It doesn’t say Bemt Bjornson. It says Bill Bryson. Look at the loop(圆圈)of the ‘y’, the two ‘l’ s. Miss, please. ”But she wouldn’t have it. “If I miss this bus when does the next one go? ”
“Next week at the same time. ”
“Miss, believe me, it says Bill Bryson. ”
“No, it doesn’t. ”
“Miss, look, I’ve come from England. I’m carrying some medicine that could save a child’s life. ”She didn’t buy this. “I want to see the manager. ”
“He’s in Stavanger. ”
“Listen, I made a reservation by telephone. If I don’t get on this bus I’m going to write a letter to your manager that will cast a shadow over your career prospects(前景)for the rest of this century. ”This clearly did not alarm her. Then it occurred to me. “If this Bemt Bjornson doesn’t show up, can I have his seat? ”
“Sure. ”
Why don’t I think of these things in the first place and save myself the suffering? “Thank you, ”I said, and dragged my bag outside.
