    I made a promise to myself on the drive down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I  

1   try to be a loving husband and father. Totally   2  . No ifs, ands or buts.

    The idea had come to me as I listened to a commentator   3   my car's tape player. He was  4  a passage about husbands being   5   of their wives.   6   he went on to say, "Love is an act of   7  . A person can choose to love." To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband   8   our love had been dulled by my own insensitivity (感觉迟钝) . In unimportant ways, really; scolding Evelyn for her tardiness (拖拉);   9   on the TV channel I wanted to watch; throwing   10   day-old newspapers that I knew Evelyn still wanted to read. Well, for two weeks all that would   11  .

    And it   12  . Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, "That new yellow sweater looks   13   on you." "Oh, Tom, you noticed," she said, surprised and   14  , maybe a little puzzled.

    After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn   15   a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, "Evelyn's been alone here with the children   16   week and now she wants to be alone with me." We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.

So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street investment (投资) firm   17   I am director; a visit to the shell museum,   18   I usually hate museums (and I enjoyed it);   19   my tongue while Evelyn's getting ready for a late dinner for us. Relaxed (轻松) and happy, that's how the whole vacation passed. I made a new promise to keep on   20   to choose love.

    "You will meet a man in the theatre foyer," K. explained. "He will have left before the play ends and will be   1   for you. He'll be wearing a dark suit and carrying a theatre   2   upside down, although I doubt if you could miss him. There shouldn't be many people waiting in the foyer at that time of night.   3   he asks you to do, whatever instructions you’re given, co-operate. Understood?" I nodded. I knew of course that we were planning to have discussions with "the other side" and that we intended to   4   back one of our own men, but all this seemed a bit ridiculous.

    The curtain had   7   come down on the last act of the play when I was out of my   8   and walking from the dark of the theatre into the bright lights of the foyer. He was there.

He seemed to be   10   at a spot on the floor, and looked as if he was just about to pick something up when   11   was a single gun shot and he was thrown   12   the wall. The warning signs had obviously got to me   13   I realized consciously what was going to happen, because I had   14   in a cold sweat on seeing the expression on his   15  . The moment the shot rang out, I automatically fell back on my training and threw myself to the   16  .

When no more shots followed, I looked   17   and was just in time to see two masked men  18   my "contact" out of the front door of the theatre. I didn't know   19   he was dead or badly injured, but I intended to find out. I got up slowly and carefully and   20   for the door.
