The other day I was talking to a
stranger on the bus; he told me that he had a good 36
in Chicago and he wondered if, by any chance, I 37
to know him . For a moment, I thought he might be 38
,but I could tell from the expression on his face that he was not. He was 39
. I felt like saying that it was ridiculous to 40 that
out of all the millions of people in Chicago I could possibly have ever bumped
into his friend. But, 41 , I just smiled and reminded
him that Chicago was a very 42 city. He nodded,
and I thought he was going to be content to drop the subject and talk about
something else. But I was wrong. He was silent for a few minutes, and then he 43
to tell me all about his friend.
His friend’s main 44
in life seemed to be tennis. He was an excellent tennis player , and he
45 had his own tennis court. There were a lot of people with
swimming 46 , yet there were only two people with
private tennis court; his friend in Chicago was one of them. I told him that I
knew several 47 like that, including my brother,
who was doctor in California. He 48 that
maybe there were more private courts in the country, than he 49
but he did not know of any others. Then he asked me 50
my brother lived in California. When I said Sacramento, he said that was a
coincidence 51 his Chicago friend spent the summer in Sacramento
last year and he lived next door to a 52 who had a
tennis court in his backyard. I said I felt that really was a coincidence
because my next-door neighbour had gone to Sacramento last summer and had 53
the house next to my brother’s house. For a moment, we stared at each
other, but we did not say anything.
“Would your friend’s name happen
to be Roland Kirkwood?” I asked finally. He 54 and
said, “Yes. Would your brother’s name happen to be Dr Rey Hunter?” It was my
55 to laugh. “Yes,” I replied.
