52、below with pieces of burning wood all around me. I saw a flaming doorway in front, put the bundle over my face and ran. My feet burned me terribly, but I got through. As I reached the cold air out side, my bundle of clothes gave a thin cry. I nearly dropped it in my surprise. Then I saw a crowd gath

53、ered in the street. A woman in a nightdress and a borrowed mans coat screamed as she saw me and came running madly.  “My baby! My baby!” she cried. The crowd cheered widely as she took the smoke-blackened bundle out of my arms. I had some difficulty in recognizing her. She was the Mayors wife,

59、rom a favorite restaurant of mine, where I often went to eat two or three times a week. I knew the owner well and frequently complimented (赞美, 恭维) him on his excellent cooking. I went into the restaurant, which was already crowded, and ordered my meal. While I was waiting for the soup to arrive, I l

60、ooked around to see if I knew anyone in the restaurant. It was then that I noticed that a man sitting at a corner table near the door kept glancing in my direction, as if he knew me, I certainly did not know him, for I never forgot a face. The man had a newspaper open in front of him, which he was p
