　　A warm, dusty wind was blowing over the harbor (海港) from the south．Where it stopped, it left a thin layer of fine African sand, a bit of unwanted Africa, and also unwanted by France．

　　Clive stood with Dick, a racing driver, in the ship, watching the cares being taken from the land． Some of the cars were already in the ship．

　　‘ I hope this wind will have changed by the time we get there,’ the driver said, staring up at the cream-colored sky． ‘These conditions wouldn’t be any good for racing．’

　　‘Don’t worry,’ Clive said with a smile． ‘It’ll hardly trouble us, since Argentina is about 7,000 miles away．’

　　Surprise came over the driver’s face． ‘Is that so? We should leave it behind then, shouldn’t we?’

　　They talked for a while about Argentina． Clive was going on business, but Dick was to take part in a motor-race． It was his first important event outside Europe．He mentioned the date of the race-December 30, and added, ‘I’ve never raced in cold winter before．’

　　Their conversation was then turned to the young driver．He was an engineer, twenty-six years old． Motor-racing was his great love, and he was recently driving a car made in France． He spoke well enough, so Clive thought he must have had a good education．However, something seemed to have gone wrong- or was different these days． Here he was, going to Argentina, but without much idea where the country was． When he spoke of a cousin of his, who worked in South Africa- ‘Is there any chance of this ship calling there ?’ Clive realized that the young man had no map of the world in his mind．

　　He had plans to race in South Africa and in Japan． To him, they were places on the earth, and probably that was all． Clive was interested because the man seemed cheerfully unconscious of his lack of knowledge． What was worse, he even thought everyone else was as foolish as him．

　　Dust blew into their faces． “This wind from Africa…’ but he did not go on． Was there any point of his saying so? To the young man, it might have been the same as a wind from China． Were there many people, he wondered, who did not know where they were going, or even where they were?

　　My husband hasn't stopped laughing about a funny thing that happened to me. It is funny now but it wasn't at that time.

　　Naturally, I was annoyed.　　10　 , to avoid troubleand really I was rather　　11　　about him, I just looked down at the front page of the newspaper, tasted my coffee, and took a bit of chocolate.

I thought,“Well, I shall have the last piece.”And I got it.

　　The boy　　16　　me a strange look, then stood up. As he left he shouted out,“This　　17　　is crazy.”Everyone stared. That was embarrassing (令人难堪的) enough, but it was　　18　　when I finished my coffee and got ready to leave. My face went redas red as　　19　 when I realized I'd made a mistake. It wasn't my chocolate that he had been taking. There was mine, unopened, just　　20　　my newspaper.
