The day,   38   most that summer, was bright and hot. As he   39  , sweat trickled(滴下) down. When he arrived at the library, he leaned his bike   40   the railing(栏杆) and,   41   his mother’s advice, didn’t bother to   42   it.

The library was extremely   43  , filled with the distinct smell of books.   44   in the stacks(堆), John spent longer than he’d imagined   45   just the right book. He waited patiently for his   46  , and watched   47   the librarian fed his card through the recorded machine.

As he went out of the library, he saw his bike   48   down the sidewalk. Walking beside it was a boy, perhaps fifteen years old.

“Hey! That’s my bike! What do you think you’re doing? Give it   49  .”

“Give it back! You’re   50  . It’s not yours.”

John felt   51   with this boy and his words that the bike was his own. What could he do? He wasn’t at all sure   52   to deal with him.

At that moment, John surprised himself.   53   a step toward the boy, he took   54   of his bike. “This bike is mine. You’ll have to give it back to me.”   55   by his determination, the boy let him go. John jumped on and rode home as quickly as he dared. He felt a little strange, however, and a bit older somehow, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on why.

John Blanchard was studying the crowd making their way through the station. He was looking for the girl whose heart he knew, but whose face he didn’t, the girl with the rose.
When reading a book in a Florida library a year before, John became interested not in the contents of the book, but in the notes penciled in the margin((空白处). The handwriting reflected a thoughtful soul and beautiful mind. He discovered the former owner’s name in the front of the book: Miss Hollis Maynell.
He located her address and wrote a letter introducing himself. The next day he was shipped overseas to serve in the army. During the next year,they grew to know each other through the mail and their friendship developed. John requested a photograph, but she refused, saying if he really cared, it wouldn’t matter what
she looked like. When the day finally came for him to return home, their first meeting was suggested-7:00 p.m. at the Grand Central Station in New York.
She wrote, “You’ll recognize me by the red rose I wear on my coat.” So now John was in the station to meet the girl with a rose.
As a pretty and slim girl in green came over, John noticed her blue eyes like flowers in spring. He walked directly towards her, entirely forgetting she was not wearing a rose. As John came closer to her, he saw another woman with a red rose stood nearby. Well past 40, this woman had graying hair done under a worn hat. Seeing the girl in green walk quickly away, John felt as if he were split(劈开) in two. He desired to follow that girl, but longed for the woman whose spirit had truly companioned and supported him.
The woman looked gentle and sensible. John went to her, saying, “I’m Captain John Blanchard. You must be Miss Maynell. I am glad to meet you here. May I take you to dinner?”
She replied with a smile, “I don’t know what this is about. But the lady in green who just went by, begged me to wear this rose on my coat. She said if you asked me out to dinner, I’d tell you she is waiting for you in the big restaurant across the street. She said it was some kind of test!”
