(疗养院), but she didn"t want to spend her final days there. I couldn"t be with her all the time, and she had no
other family. God, who would watch over her?
Joy and I had come from a medical family. Mom died when my sister was four. Dad was a small-town
general doctor in Glenview. His concern for his patients was wholehearted. Sometimes Joy and I had felt
overlooked, expecting the attention he seemed to reserve (保留) for his patients. But no matter how busy he"d
been all week, Dad would stand on the stairs every Sunday morning, polishing (擦亮) his shoes for church.
I called Dr. Croghan, Joy"s doctor, hoping she could persuade (劝说) Joy to move into the nursing home.
"Your father also called," she said. The signal of her phone went off, and the doctor suddenly hung up before
I could correct her.
Three days later, Joy died at home. I called Dr. Croghan to thank her for all she"d done. Then I mentioned
the phone call. "It had to be someone else who called you," I said.
"He said he was Joy"s father clearly," Dr. Croghan insisted. "He talked about her case and understood all
the medical details."

neighbours or my father"s former patients, many of whom were grateful to my father. Who could it be?

Shortly after the war, my brother and I were invited to spend a few days" holiday with an uncle who had
just returned from abroad. He had rented a cottage in the country, although he hardly spent much time there.

On our first evening, we sat around the fire after supper listening to the stories our uncle told of his many
adventures in distant countries. I was so tired after the long train journey that I would have preferred to go to
bed; but I could not bear to miss any of my uncle"s exciting stories, He was just in the middle of describing a
rather terrifying experience he had once had when there was a loud crash from the bedroom above, the one
