I’d meant to go to Miros that day. I’d packed my bag and was ready. The motor-boat ? ? in on time. The sky was cloudy, but the wind wasn’t too strong for the two-hour ? ? ?? . I stood at my window, staring at the boat. Then I lost ? ? ? of her, an old light-house partly blocked my view of the harbor. A dozen passengers were? ? ? ?? ? their way there. I was about to join them --- when a man’s face? ?? ? ?? at the light-house window.

This was strange, because the light-house had been empty, unused and ? ? ?? for thirty years. It was stranger still --- because I’d seen that ? ? ? before. I couldn’t place it but it was, or had once been, familiar to me. I opened my window and ? ? ? across. “I know we’ve met before, but I can’t remember where.”

I ? ? ? him to open his if he could and answer me. He did neither. The face behind the glass ? ? ? motionless (静止). Seeing him more clearly now, I knew he was not looking at me. He seemed to be looking upwards, ? ? ? the clouds. How well I’d known that face, sometime, somewhere!

I ? ? ?? again. “We met years ago. Was it in Athens in the 1950s? I used to live in Plaka.”

He didn’t reply nor give any ?? ? ? that he’d heard. I went back further, to ? ? ?? I was in the navy. “Perhaps we met at sea during the war,” and that thought at once ?? ? ? him to mind. Commander Leftis! He was Commander Leftis of course! How could I have forgotten? I’d saved his life once. But surely he …

The motor-boat ? ? ? her bell. I turned my eyes. The wind had risen, but she was pulling ? ?? . Laughing, I called, “Now I’ve missed her, and it’s your ?? ? ? , Commander!”

As the boat drew away, the face at the window faded. ? ? ? minute it was there. Looking up, I could see the whites of the eyes. The ? ? minute it was gone.

Well, I didn’t rush to the light-house. I knew that Leftis was dead. He died at sea in 1963 or 1964. But there’s one other thing I ought to tell you: the motor-boat never reached Miros. It was lost in a storm, with all the passengers.

I’ve always had strong opinions of how love should be expressed, but others had their own ways of showing care.

I learned another lesson about love a few years later. My father often me early in the morning. “Buy Xerox. It’s a good sharp price,” he might say when I answered the phone.

I had one friend who rarely called, answering my messages with short e-mails. I rushed to the : She wasn’t a good friend! My anger as the holidays approached. But then she came to a gathering I and handed me a beautiful dress I had fallen in love with when we did some window-shopping the previous month. I was at her thoughtfulness, and regretful for how I’d considered her to be . Clearly I needed to change my expectations of friends.
