[9]我尽量缩小与弟弟的卡车的距离,缓缓地移动,盯住他的尾灯,心中才赂有一丝安慰,就像一只吓坏了的小羊紧跟在羊馆的屁股后面一样。我能看见麦克正从后视镜里望着我。那天晚上在亚利桑那州的金曼吃饭时,他说:“莉,你是在尾追。在这样的山路上那距离太近了!他注意了一下我的表倩,接着说:“明天是最后一天的山路了。务必再坚持一阵子,我们走了这么远,不是好好的嘛。你知道没有什么可怕的。
[10]我知道。我必须坚持下去。可是一想到那些U字型的急转弯和直上直下的大陡坡我就没了胃口。麦克尽量想让谈话轻松些,但不管用。我找借口早早抽身,去上床睡觉,这时倍感精疲力竭。
[11] Sleep wouldn't come. I lay staring into the dark, listening to the sounds of trucks and cars rushing along the nearby interstate. I tried to summon up reassuring images of home, now so many hundreds of miles away. I thought of Betsy and Tabitha, the two lovable cats that belonged to my husband and me; of Ben, the playful mutt who loved to catch Frisbees. I thought about friends and neighbors. I pictured the faces of my husband and children.
[12] I also thought about Lillian, our parents' part-time maid. I could almost touch calmness when I thought about Lillian, with her gentle voice and radiant smile. I knew Lillian was praying for me; she always prays for our family, especially when one of us is away. I found myself clutching for a verse from Deuteronomy. How did it go? "Don't be afraid, for the Lord will go before you and will be with you; He will neither fail nor forsake you."
