"天涯知音"的书摘……
John stood on the steps of the summer house watching his
wife climb into the car and drive off along the lake road.
She was going to the village to get some boxes for his
manuscripts and books.
He looked unhappy. He'd done little work on his book and
the summer was now gone. "A wasted summer" he had said to
his wife. "Not wasted, John," she said gently. "It has been
good for all of us. " "But not good for my work," he had an-
swered bitterly.
He put his pipe down and smiled weakly as his old dog, Bin-
go, came up to sniff it1. The dog did this to be awarded and he
patted it on the head. Then he remembered his unfinished book
and he asked his child hopefully, "Isn't there something else you
would like to do instead of going sailing on our last day here?"
The child stopped wiggling her toes2 in the hot dust and
turned up her face and said with an unhappy look. "Do we have
to go home tomorrow, Daddy?"
"Yes." he answered. "School begins Monday, you know. "
She moaned. She looked small in her swim-shirt and frail.
Bingo pushed against his hand and he thought about a num-
ber of things, that he had had the dog longer than his child who
was almost nine. And he remembered that Bingo had been his
dog even before he met his wife, Doris. She had been 18 then and
was now 29. For 11 years she had tried to be as old as himself
and he had tried to be as young as she. Now in anger, he won-
dered if their love was worth the years' trying and so often fail-
ing.
The child said, "Daddy. 1 can't think of anything else 1
would rather do than go sailing. "
This made him more angry. He was a poor sailor and had al-
ready upset the boat once. His wife was probably right, he
thought. She said he was always thinking so much about his
book on early Greek art that he let the wind and the boat get the
better of him.
And so after he agreed to take out the boat, it happened a-
gain today. He was so troubled with the loss of his time that he
let a gust of wind turn his light boat over. He went under and
was terrified, not because of his own safety but that of the child.
Usually she swam well. But it was different today. In panic he
broke through the surface of the water and looked wildly about
for her. He saw the boat first. It had swung to the right, its red
painted side glistening in the sun. Then to his left, he saw her
bright hair. In her terror, she was fighting the water, gasping
and screaming. He called out to calm her and swam to her. She
came up sobbing. He put an arm around her and held her close.
She clung to him like a thin frightened animal. He could feel her
terror. It was like something alive and insane. Suddenly he
wanted to shout for help though he knew there was no one to
hear. And he wanted to fight against the water with all his
strength. But he forced himself to keep calm. "Don't cry, an-
gel," he said gently. "You are all right. "
He stayed in the same spot moving his legs up and down in
the water to keep afloat3 He held her close, talking quietly. At
last she heard him. When her arms loosened, he laughed and
said, "We'll never hear the last of this from Mother. "
