At the age of sixteen Gray left the small town of Pineville, where he was born. Twenty years later Gray found himself back on a visit. He went to see his old friend Tom Clark, who was busy preparing to welcome a well-known writer, who had been invited to give a talk on modern literature(文学) at the public library that very evening. Since he happened to have read a book or two by the famous writer, Gray gladly accepted the invitation when Tom asked him to go to the talk.
Tom was going to introduce the guest speaker to the audience(听众). So they went to the library a little earlier to greet him. As the guest had not yet arrived, Gray left Tom and went into the main reading-room where a large crowd had already gathered. He was sorry to find that he didn't know a single person there. And he found a seat in the corner and sat patiently waiting.
When it was about time for the talk to begin, Gray saw Tom standing at the doorway making a sign for him to come out. Tom looked worried about something, there fore, Gray rose from his seat immediately and went out to him. Tom explained to him that he had just had a telephone call from the writer's secretary. Their speaker had missed his flight and would not be arriving! While they were thinking about the problem, Tom suddenly asked Gray if he would mind filling in as the speaker. Gray hardly led back into the reading-room to address the waiting audience!
