　　Hank was walking along the main street of a small seaside town in the north of England looking somewhere to make a telephone call. His car had broken down outside the town and he wanted to get in touch with the car factory. Low clouds were moving across the sky and there was a cold wet wind blowing off the sea. It had rained in the night and water was falling from the trees that lined the street. Hank was glad that he was wearing a thick coat.

　　There was no sign of a call box, nor was there anyone at that early hour whom he could ask. Hank had thought he might find a small shop selling the Sunday papers or a milkman doing his job, but the town was completely dead.

　　Then suddenly Hank found what he was looking for. In a dark narrow street there was a small post office and next to it was the town's only public call box. Hank hurried there but stopped in surprise when he saw through the dirty glass that there was a woman inside. She was very fat, and was wearing a cheap blue raincoat. Hank could not see her face-she was facing the phone with her back against the glass and didn't even raise her head at the sound of his coming nearer and nearer. Carefully, slowly and surprisedly, Hank moved forward, stood a few feet away and lit a cigarette (香烟).
