书摘
My name is Richard Hannay and I am thirty-seven years old. I was born in Scotland, but in 1883 my family moved to Rhodesiao, where I grew up and worked hard for twenty years. Then in March 1914 I came back to Britain with a great sum of money, since I wanted to have a good holiday. It was five months before the First World War began. Britain was the center of all my dreams and plans, and I hoped to stay there to spend the rest of my life.
In May I was living in London in a flat which I had bought. One evening I was reading the newspaper there alone. There was some trouble in the East, and I also read a story about Karolides, the Greek Prime Minister.
I thought he was a good and honest. He may be the strongest Prime Minister in Europe, but the Germans hate him.
Suddenly I heard someone knocked at the door quickly. I put down the newspaper and opened the door. A man was standing outside, and I recognized him at once. I did not know his name, but he lived on the top floor. He was a thin fellow with small bright blue eyes.
"I live on the top floor,"he said. "Can I speak to you? May I come in?"
I invited him in and shut the door.
"I’m very sorry,"he said. "But I’m in trouble. Will you help me?"
"Well, I’ll listen to you," I said. "But I won’t promise before I know what you ask me to do. "
I could see that he was nervous since he could not stand still. I mixed a strong drink for him, and he drank it at once. When he put down the glass, he broke it.
"Excuse me, "he said. "I’m rather nervous tonight and there’s a good reason for it. Now you seem honest, sir, and you look brave too. Well, I’m in great trouble and I need a friend. "
"Tell me about it,"I said, "and then I’ll tell you whether I’ll help you. "
