Question

“It was said she was married to an officer in India long ago and she had a life of physical adventure as exciting as her poetry.Her husband could cross rivers,using crocodiles(鳄鱼) as stepping stones.He died when she was only thirty-nine.Unwilling to exist without him,she took her life,leaving a son in England.”

I stared at the paper,  26  reading,and I couldn’t help thinking.

They say,crocodiles are lazy animals as a rule,but they can  27  like lightning when they want to.And they don’t mind hurrying  28  they’re hungry.There used to be lots in Indianrivers,living on fish mostly;but what’s a little fish  29  a fifteen-foot crocodile?They ate people,fisherman or anyone else delicious enough to get too near;women doing the  30  ,or children playing at the water’s  31  .A hungry crocodile’s mouth  32  over a meal with a sound like a gunshot.A big fellow can  33  in a man in two bites.

That woman’s husband crossed rivers  34  from one crocodile’s back to the next.I believe it.It had to be done  35  before the creature could see what was happening.It wasn’t  36  a brave,active man;and no doubt he improved with practice.He could never look  37  while crossing.

The wife used to watch him—I felt  38  of that.She lived  39  the adventure the  40  excitement of it all.Their real life was with tigers,snakes....It’s no wonder she wrote  41  poetry.

Then he  42  .I imagined how she felt.Was there another man  43  him in India,in the world?She was still young,hardly a sitting-room widow(寡妇).“I must  44  ,too,”she said to herself.So she did what she felt she had to do.A  45  probably,to her head.

But her young son,their son?Was her love for him nothing compared to her husband?Well,what do you think?
