John was waiting for the girl whose heart he knew, but whose face he didn"t, the girl with the rose. Thirteen months ago, in a Florida library he took a book off the shell and found himself interested in the notes in the margin (页边). The soft handwriting showed a thoughtful soul and insightful (有洞察力的) mind. In front of the book, he discovered the name, Miss Hollis Maynell. With time and effort he got her address. He wrote her a letter introducing himself and inviting her to keep in touch. During the next year and one month the two grew to know each other through the mail. A romance started. John requested a photograph, but she refused. She felt that if he really cared, it wouldn"t matter what she looked like. Later they agreed on their first meeting-7:00 pm at Grand Central Station in New York. "You"ll recognize me," she wrote, "by the red rose I"ll be wearing my coat." So at 7:00 he was in the station looking for the girl with the red rose. A girl in a green suit was coming toward him, her figure long and slim and her eyes were blue as flowers. Almost uncontrollably he came to her, and just at this moment he saw Hollis Maynell-a woman well past 40. The girl was walking quickly away. He did not hesitate (犹豫), saying, "I"m John, and you must"be Miss Maynell. I am so glad you could meet me; may I take you to dinner?" The woman smiled, "I don"t know what this is about, son," she answered, "but the young lady in the green suit begged me to wear this rose on my coat.
