When passing a grocery store, she went in and came out with a bag full of groceries, and told me that the food and milk was for the girls and me to eat over the next three days. I don’t 9 a time in my life when I ever felt more 10 . She comforted me and the 11 in her eyes was like an angel.
At 2:00 am the telephone in our room rang. I was told to 12 a suitcase in the lobby (大堂). The hotel clerk, who stood there holding a suitcase, told me that an African American woman had 13 it off about thirty minutes ago and wanted to be sure I 14 it.
