接下来的三个星期我都很忙。我忙着处理一个新案子，几乎每天都在办公室外奔波。我不太喜欢那个客户，可是这个案子本身很吸引我。
读书笔记
是否公开一个星期六的早晨，我又回到了办公室。我要写一大堆邮件，所以当门铃响起时，我有些不快。
读书笔记
是否公开通过电脑屏幕，我看到一个男人站在门口。哇、哇、哇，真是太意外了！我敲了一下“开门”按钮，那个男人走了进来。
读书笔记
是否公开“威廉斯先生，早上好！你好吗？”我说。他想要干什么？
读书笔记
是否公开“早上好，霍姆斯小姐。”他看起来不是很可亲，但也不能说不友善。他四下打量着我的小办公室。
读书笔记
是否公开“办公室不错，”他开口说道，“从窗户这儿能看到河吗？”他走到窗边，望着窗外。他想干什么？难道他只是想谈谈我的办公室？也许接下来会聊聊天气……
读书笔记
是否公开“今天降温了，”他接着说道，“秋天到了。”
读书笔记
是否公开我等待着。
读书笔记
是否公开他离开窗户。“我能坐下吗？就一会儿。”
读书笔记
是否公开“当然可以，请坐。”我说。
读书笔记
是否公开这时，他直视着我。“我只是想说……嗯，你介绍的托马斯·瓦纳斯的情况没错。他是个优秀的青年。我非常喜欢他。”
读书笔记
是否公开“噢，好极了，威廉斯先生。我非常高兴。那么，告诉我，发生什么事了？”
读书笔记
是否公开他露出笑容，坐在我最好的椅子上，放松下来。他想把一切都告诉我。
读书笔记
是否公开“我们邀请他来吃星期天午餐，就像你说的那样。他和卡丽都来了，呆了一天。我们谈了很多。”他笑着说，“当然了，我和卡丽又争吵起来，不过我们一向如此。汤姆——你瞧，现在我叫他汤姆——很适合卡丽。他不像卡丽那样容易激动或生气，而且卡丽又听他的。”他又笑起来。“她从来不听我的！”
读书笔记
是否公开我笑了，跟他说了些父女关系的事。
读书笔记
是否公开“所以现在卡丽搬回家跟我们一起住了。汤姆自然每天晚上都会来。还有周末。他现在带着达伦出去了，在踢足球。达伦觉得他非常好。”
读书笔记
是否公开“托马斯对达伦来说是个大哥哥。”我说。
读书笔记
是否公开“的确如此。”威廉斯先生说，“对了，卡丽也回学校上学了。她想读商科，那样她就可以帮助汤姆经营亚麻布生意了。你知道，她很有经商的头脑。”他脸上露出笑容，“我的小卡丽——一个女商人！”
读书笔记
是否公开他站起来。“好了，我能看出来你很忙。我只是想跟你说说汤姆。”
读书笔记
是否公开“我喜欢好消息，威廉斯先生。”我说，“你能来告诉我这些真是太好了。”我陪他一起走到门边。
读书笔记
是否公开站在门口，他说：“你给我们家帮了大忙。说不定哪天你也需要帮助，那就只管给我打电话。”他递给我他的名片，“任何事都可以给我电话。谁知道呢？”
读书笔记
是否公开谁知道呢？我会记住这句话的……
读书笔记
是否公开The next three weeks are busy. I have a new case to work on, and I’m out of the office nearly every day. I don’t like the client very much, but the case is an interesting one.
