No buses   21    that street and there were no taxis in sight. As I was on my way to a party I didn’t want to get   22    . So I stood in a doorway and waited for the rain to stop. By and by it grew quite    23    , there wasn’t a person around, and still it rained and rained.    24     a young man came to the place where I was standing,    25   a large umbrella over his head. As I hoped he would   26     me to walk to the next corner with him,    27   I could have got a taxi, I stepped    28    the dark doorway where I had been standing, and said,   29     , where are you going with that umbrella?
