John was waiting for the girl whose heart he knew, but whose face he didn’t, the girl with the rose. Thirteen months ago, in a Florida library he took a book off the ___36___and found himself interested in the notes in the margin. The soft handwriting ___37___a thoughtful soul and insightful mind.
In front of the book, he ___38___the previous owner’s name, Miss Hollis Maynell. With time and effort he ___39___her address. He wrote her a letter ___40___himself and inviting her to correspond.
During the next year and one-month the two grew to know each other ___41___the mail. A Romance was budding. John requested a(an) ___42___, but she refused. She felt that if he really cared, it wouldn’t matter what she looked like. Later they ___43___their first meeting—7:00 pm at Grand Central Station in New York
“You’ll ___44___me, ”she wrote, “by the red rose I’ll be wearing on my lapel. ”So at 7:00 he was in the ___45___looking for the girl with the red rose.

He felt as though he split in two, so keen was his ___48___to follow her, and yet so deep was his longing for the woman whose ___49___had truly companioned him and upheld his own.
He did not ___50___. He squared his shoulders and said, “I’m John, and you must be Miss Maynell. I am so glad you could meet me;may I take you to ___51___?”
The woman smiled. “I don’t know what this is about, son, ”she answered, “but the young lady in the green suit ___52___me to wear this rose on my coat. And she said if you were to ask me out to dinner, I ___53___tell you that she is waiting for you in the ___54___across the street. She said it was some kind of ___55___!”
