　　A farewell(告别) party was going on. Sylvia Calver hated being the center of any public show where she didn't know anyone. It made her 　(1)　 hot and she always felt she wanted to go away somewhere. But on an occasion(场合) like this when she knew 　(2)　, there was no 　(3)　 to feel shy.　(4)　 she had made up her mind to 　(5)　 people's attention for once in her life. Unlike others, Sylvia didn't have any sad feelings herself at leaving Palmeira Court Hotel or saying good-bye to its 　(6)　－she had left so many other 　(7)　, and known too many people in her life to get upset by such things now.

She had wanted to enjoy being the center of 　(11)　 for one evening, but now they had 　(12)　 old Miss Hutton of all people to give the 　(13)　 speech, whom she disliked.

And her doctor's orders worked!

She 　(20)　 herself quite well that night, even to her own surprise.
