One Sunday morning, I was 43   that someone was waiting for me in the office, a young woman who said she  44   all the notes. When I saw her I was  45   , since I had no idea that it was she who wrote the notes. She was sitting in a chair in the office. Her  46   was bowed and when she raised it to look at me, she could hardly  47   without pain. Her face was disfigured (畸形) , so smiling was very  48   for her.
We  49   for a while that Sunday morning and agreed to meet for lunch later that week.
As it  50   , we went to lunch several times, and we shared things about our  51   . We spoke of authors we were both  52   , and it was easy to tell that  53   are a great love of hers.
