A couple would like to sit together.” The only   22   seat was next to a girl with her arms in casts (石膏绷带)， a black-and-blue face, and a sad expression. “  23   am I going to sit there,” I thought immediately.

When the snack and juice arrived, it did not take me long to   27   that Kathy would not be able to   28   herself.
