Just as I was in the middle of my descent，a gentleman entered the main entrance of the restaurant which right in front of the staircase．I was sure I would be pushed roughly by this man who will want to go up in a hurry．I kept coming down as fast as I could，holding on to the banister （栏杆），instead of my advanced years．My agile daughters were already down，looking up at me worriedly，hoping I would reach them before the stranger strange started up the stairs，knowing I was a nervous sort．
Nearly reaching them，I noticed the man still standing near the door．I reached my daughters and passed the stranger at the entrance door which he kept holding open．I looked back thinking he was still at the door，deciding whether to go in or find another less crowded place．I saw him going up the stairs，two at a time．I told my daughters about it and all three of us felt had that we did not even thank the courteous gentleman who was actually holding the door open for us ladies to pass through before going up．
