I was on the 25 of leaving when I looked out of his study window and said，“You’re very fond of gardening，I see.”
“No，I’m not，” he said.“ 26 ，I love this garden，though. It’s 27 I always wanted it to be. I never touch it at all.”

“But the path is over grown. It’s inconvenient for you，isn’t it?”
“That’s part of my 40 ，” he laughed.“You can go out the back way. The weeds are shorter there because they don’t get the sun.”
