어제에 이어서 계속.... 이 여자는 도대체 뭔가??? ㅋㅋ

Nick watched her.

‘She looks worried,’ he thought.

‘What’s she doing? Is she waiting for somebody?‘

Suddenly, the girl smiled.

Then she walked across the street, came up to Nick’s table, and sat down.

She put her bag down on the table. The bag was half-open.

‘Hi! I’m Jan,’ she said.

‘Do you remember me? We met at a party in Toronto.’

‘Hi, Jan,’ said Nick. He smiled.

‘I’m Nick. But we didn’t meet at a party in Toronto.

I don’t go to parties very often, and never in Toronto.’

‘Oh,’ the girl said. But she didn’t get up or move away.

‘Have some coffee,’ said Nick.

The story about the party in Toronto wasn’t true, but it was a beautiful morning, and she was a pretty girl.

‘Maybe it was a party in Montreal. or New York.’

The girl laughted.

‘OK. Maye it was. And yes, I’d love some coffee.’

When she had her coffee, Nick asked,

‘What are you doing in Whister? or do you live here?

‘Oh no’ she said. ‘I’m just, er, just travelling through. And what are you doing here?’

‘I’m a travel writer,’ Nick said, ‘and I’m writing a book about famous mountains’

‘That’s interesting,’ she said.

But her face was worried, not interested, and she looked across the road again.

A man with very short, white hair walked across the road.

He was about sixty years old, and he was tall and thin.

The girl watched him.

‘Are you waiting for someone?’ asked Nick.

‘No.’ she said quickly. Then she asked,

‘Where are you going next, Nick?’

‘To Vancouver, for three or four days,’ he said.

When are you going? she asked.

‘Later this morning,’ he said.

There was a letter in the top of the girl’s half- open bag.

Nick could see some of the writing and he read it because he saw the word ‘Vancouver’-...

and we can meet at the Empress Hotel, Vicorea, Vancouver Island, on Friday afternoon...

‘So she’s going to Vancouver too,‘ he thought.
