A strange thing happened to me last Sunday. It was such a beautiful day ________ I drove to go for a look in the country.
On the way back home, my ________ stopped. It was out of gas on a ________ road far from a town! I decided to walk until I found someone ________ could sell some gas. I had walked almost a mile ________ I finally found a house near the ________. 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 ________. She said, “I’ve been ________ for you here for a long time. Come in. ________ is almost ready.”
“But I only came for some gas,” I answered. I couldn’t ________ what she was talking about.
“Oh, Alfred! Gas? You ________ tea,” said she.
I quickly ________ that my car was out of ________ , but she didn’t seem to listen to me. She just kept ________ me Alfred and talking about how long it had been ________ she had seen me. She was acting very strangely and I was anxious to leave. As soon as she went to get tea, I went out of the house as fast as I ________ .
_________, there was another house down the road and I was able to buy the gas I needed. When I told the man about my ________ , he said, “Oh, that’s Miss Emily. She lives by herself in that big house. She’s strange, but she wouldn’t ________ 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 ________ came back because of the war.”
