I walked along the sea for about
an hour until I began to feel hungry. It was seven. By that time, I was not far
from a favourite restaurant of mine, where I often went to eat two or three
times a week. I knew the owner well.
I went into the restaurant, which
was already crowded, and ordered my meal. While I was waiting, I looked 1 to see if I knew anyone in the
restaurant. Then I saw a man sitting at a corner table near the door keeping
looking in my direction (方向), as if he
knew me. I certainly didn’t know him, for I never forgot a 2 . The man had a newspaper __3 in front of him. But I could see that he
was keeping an 4 on me. When the waiter brought my soup,
the man was 5 puzzled (迷惑) by the familiar (熟悉) way that
the waiter and I called each other. He became even more puzzled as 6 went on. He could see that I was well 7 in the restaurant. At last he got up and
went into the kitchen. After a few minutes he came out again, 8 for his meal and left.
When I had finished, I called the
owner of the restaurant over and asked him 9 the man had wanted. The owner told me he
was a detective(侦探). “Really?” I was 10 . “He was certainly 11 in me. But why?” I asked. “He followed
you here because he thought you were a man he was looking 12 ,” the owner said. “When he came
into the kitchen, he showed me a 13 of the wanted man . He certainly looked
like you! Of course, since we 14 you here, I told him that he had made a
mistake.” It’s 15 I came to a restaurant where I am known,
or I might have been arrested!
