A 41 thing happened 42 me last Sunday．It was such a beautiful day 43 I drove to go for a look in the country.
On the way back home, my 44 stopped．It was out of gas on a 45 road far from a town! I decided to walk until I found someone 46 could sell some gas．I had walked almost a mile 47 I finally found a house near the 48 ．I was glad to see it because it was getting dark.
I knocked at the door and a little old lady with long white hair 49 ．She said, “I’ve been 50 for you here for a long time．Come in． 51 is almost ready.”
“But I only came for some gas,” I answered．I couldn’t 52 what she was talking about.
“Oh, Alfred! Gas? You 53 tea,” said she.
I quickly 54 that my car was out of 55 , but she didn’t seem to listen to me．She just kept 56 me Alfred and talking about how long it had been 57 she had seen me．She was acting very strangely and I was anxious to leave．As soon as she went to get tea, I went out of the house as fast as I 58 .
Fortunately, there was another house down the road and I was able to buy the gas I needed．When I told the man about my 59 , he said, “Oh, that’s Miss Emily．She lives by herself in that big house．She’s strange, but she wouldn’t 60 anybody．She is still waiting for the man she was going to marry thirty years ago．The day before their wedding he left home and never came back because of the war.”
