Tess still stood hesitating like a swimmer about to make his dive，hardly knowing whether to return or move forward，when a figure came out from the dark door of the tent．It was a tall young man，smoking
He had an almost black face，though red and smooth．His moustache was black with curled points，though he could not be more than twenty, three or—four．There was an unusual force in his face，and in his daring rolling eyes．w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.
Well，my beauty, what can I do for you?’said he，coming forward．And seeing that she was quite m a loss：'Never mind me. I am Mr.d’Urberville,．Have you come to see me or my mother?’
This differed greatly from what Tess had expected．She had dreamed of an aged and dignified face．She tried to keep calm and answered —I came to see your mother, sir．
I am afraid you cannot see her—she is ill in bed, replied the representative of the house；for this was Mr．Alee, the only son of the noble family．’What is the business you wish to see her about?’ w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.
“It isn't business—it is—I can hardly say what!”
“Pleasure?”
“Oh no．Why, sir if tell you, it will seem—”
Tess's sense of a certain ridicule was now so strong that, despite her general discomfort at being here，her rosy lips curved(弯曲)towards a smile, much to the attraction of the young man．
“It is so foolish，she stammered(急急巴巴地说)：“I fear 1 can't tell you!”
“Never mind；I like foolish things．Try again，my dear’said he kindly．
“Mother asked me to come，’Tess continued；and，indeed，I was in the mind to do so myself. But I did not think it would be like this．I came，sir, to tell you that we are of the same family as you”
“Ho! Poor relations?’
“Yes．”
“Stokes?”
“No; d’Urbervilles.”
“Ay, ay；I mean d'Urbervilles．”
“Our names are worn away to Durbeyfield; but we have several proofs that we are d’Urbervilles. The local scholars hold the view that we are, —and—and we have an old seal（印章）and a silver spoon marked with the same castle as yours. So mother said we ought to make ourselves known to you, as we’ve lost our horse by a bad accident; we can hardly make a living.”
“Very kind of your mother, I’m sure,” Alec looked at Tess as he spoke, in a way that made her uneasy. “And so, my pretty girl, you’ve come on a friendly visit to us, as relations?”
“I suppose I have,” looking less confident and uncomfortable again.
“Well—there’s no harm in it. Where do you live? What are you?

| Sometimes I think Dad loves that dog more than he loves us, 1 I don't get jealous when Dad spends time with his 2 . When Dad takes his family out for a picnic, Pluto always gets to go along anyway.

"Dad, do you know you talk to that dog of yours just like to a human being?" Dad looked me 10 in the eye. I thought he might be 11 at my question.

My son and I were trying to sell the house we had repaired but in the barn(谷仓) there were bats (蝙蝠) and they would not leave . The barn was their home. They told us so in their own way. They hung there in the barn and seemed determined to stay for the season. “Don't worry about it, Dad.”Patrick said.“They keep down the mosquitoes(蚊子).”
Unfortunately they also kept the buyers away. When we had asked a person to sell the house for us he had refused to show it because of the bats. “Bats are popular.” Patrick comforted me. “They're ecological(生态学的) .” “Isn't there a machine you can buy that produces high frequency sounds to keep bats away?”“I don't know. ”said Patrick. “But I like bats, and whoever buys this house will probably like them too.” “Probably?”I hated that word. “How many bats are there, anyway?”“I counted about 90 last night. ”said Patrick. “They were dropping out from under the edge of the roof.”“You mean there are more—outside?” “They're everywhere, Dad. But look at it this way. When the cold weather comes, they'll be off to Mexico. Maybe in the spring we can keep them out, Don't worry about it. ”he said for the hundredth time. “It's not a problem. ”
The bat expert I called was even more active than Patrick. “I think you've got a large number there.” he said in wonder. “I've been trying to attract bats to our house for 25 years. A single bat eats up his weight in mosquitoes and black flies three times every night. You're a very lucky man.”
I offered to share my luck with him. He could take them away. “Bats have a remarkable homing instinct(本能) .”he said. “They'd fly straight back even if I transported them 100 miles. Once they have settled, you can't stop them from coming back. ”I was silent. Finally we managed to rent(出租) the house to a young family, who were also interested in buying it. “What about the bats?” I said to Patrick.
“Oh, they love the bats.” he said. “No mosquitoes. No black flies. It's one of the things that attracted them. ”Do you think they will really buy the house? “Probably. ”“Probably? Well. if they do, I suppose I'll have to admit that I was wrong. ”“You mean you're going to eat your words?”“Yes, I am. ”
