He entered the  48 and presented the letter to the aristocrat. But the copy he gave him had not been written out in 

 49  as usual. It was simply a blank sheet of paper. The gaoler looked on eagerly, 50  to see if his fellow actor had at last learnt his lines.

Then,squinting(眯着眼看)his eves,he said,“The light is  51 .Read the letter to me.”And he promptly handed the sheet of paper to the gaoler. 52  that he could not remember a word of the letter either, the gaoler replied,“The light is indeed dim,sir. I must get my  53 ”With this, he hurried off the stage. Much to the aristocrat’s  54  ,the gaoler returned a few moments later with a pair of glasses and the  55  copy of the letter which he proceeded(继续进行)to read to the prisoner.
