Question

 36  thing happened  37   me last Sunday. It was such a beautiful day38I drove to go for a look in the country.

      On the way back home, my  39   stopped. It was out of gas on a  40  road far from a town! I decided to walk   41  I found someone who could sell some gas. I had walked almost a mile   42   I finally found a house near the  43 . I was glad to see it because it was getting dark.

      I knocked at the door and a little old lady with long white hair 44  She said, “I’ve been 45 for you here for a long time. Come in.  46   is almost ready.”

      “But I only came for some gas,” I answered. I couldn’t  47  what she was talking about.

      “Oh, Alfred! Gas? You  48   tea,” said she.

      I quickly  49  that my car was out of  50, but she didn’t seem to listen to me. She just kept   51  me Alfred and talking about how long it had been  52  she had seen me. She was acting very strangely and I was  53   to leave. As soon as she went to get tea, I went out of the house as fast as I could.

      Fortunately, there was another house down the road and I was able to buy the gas I needed. When I told the man about my  54  , he said, “Oh, that’s Miss Emily. She lives by herself in that big house. She’s strange, but she wouldn’t 55  anybody. She is still waiting for the man she was going to marry thirty years ago. The day before their wedding he left home and never came back because of the war.”
