Question

2．Last Sunday，I was sitting in a French restaurant enjoying a meal when I got on a phone call from a friend I hadn't spoken to in a long time．In my enthusiasm and excitement，I talked quite louder than usual voice and in Spanish，my mother tongue．
A few minutes into the call，an old lady sitting at the table beside mine got up，seemingly offended，and asked the restaurant staff to relocate （重新安排）a table as far away as possible from this man who seemed to be impolite．
I sank in my seat out of embarrassment．I ended the call soon afterwards and felt the urge to apologize．Before getting up，I looked around to see where she was and she was at the table farthest away from me．I noticed that the lady was alone and staring out of the window．I found a tinge （气息）of sadness or anxiety and perhaps a desire for aloneness and peace．But I had obviously destroyed it minutes earlier．
Right then I abandoned my plan for a conventional apologetic gesture．Seeing those funny smile cards in my wallet，I took one out and wrote some words to express my apology．On signing my restaurant bill，I asked a waiter to secretly charge the lady's meal to me and hand her the smile card instead of her bill．
Did she take it the wrong way，I wondered？Did she get confused？Did she refuse the anonymous（匿名的）offer？And so on．I just waited and felt nervous to learn the outcome．To my pleasant surprise，things turned out the best possible way．
The waiter approached me in a joy，telling me，"In the many times she had dined here before，I had never seen the old lady smile as she did when receiving the smile card and the $ 0 bill．She thanked me even though I explained that someone else did the job．"
