A girl in gray sat on a park bench reading a book at the beginning of twilight. She was wearing a veil, but you could see she was beautiful.
Nearby, a young man was watching her. He knew she had come here at the same hour for three days. The girl looked up and saw him. “You may sit down,” she said. “I would like the chance to talk with an ordinary man.” And then she sighed.
“Could you tell me what the matter is?” the man asked.
“Oh!” she said. “I am so tired of jewels, parties and expensive champagne. Everywhere I go, people recognize me. Artists want to paint my portrait. That’s why I wear this veil.”
She turned to the man, “What do you do?”
The man answered, “I work in that restaurant over there.”
“Ah!” she said. “Well, it was nice to meet you, but I must be going. My chauffeur is waiting for me.”
She pointed to a white car at the end of the street.
The man waited for a minute, then followed her. She walked past the car, across the street, then into the restaurant. He saw a red-haired girl leave the cashier’s desk, and the girl in gray took her place.
The man sighed. He crossed the street, and got into the white car and said two words, “Club, Henri.”

- I had been sitting by myself in my usual compartment (车厢) for at least ten minutes, waiting for the train to start. The trains from Brighton never seemed to start on time and I often thought that I could have lain in bed a little longer or had another cup of tea before leaving home. Suddenly I heard someone shouting on the platform outside. A young girl was running towards the train. The man on duty put out his hand to stop her but she ran past him and opened the door of my compartment. Then the whistle blew and the train started. “I nearly missed it, didn’t I?” the girl said, “How long does it take to get to London?” “It depends on the engine driver,” I said. “Some days it’s much slower than others.” “I’ll have to have my watch repaired so as not to be late again tomorrow,” she said. “Today is my first day to work with a new firm and they told me that the man I’ m going to work for is very strict. I haven’t met him yet so I don’t know what he is like, but he sounds a bit of frightening to me.” She talked about her new job on the way to London and soon I realized that she was going to work for my firm. My own secretary had just left so I must be her new boss. It was only fair to tell her. “Oh, dear,” she said. “What a terrible mistake! I wish I had known.” “Never mind,” I said. “At least you’ll know that when your train’s late, mine will be too.”
