1、D R _ Text 1A Friend in Need For thirty years now I have been studying my fellowmen. I do not know very much about them. I shrug my shoulders when people tell me that their first impressions of a person are always right. I think they must have small insight or great vanity. For my own part I find th

2、at the longer I know people the more they puzzle me. These reflections have occurred to me because I read in this mornings paper that Edward Hyde Burton had died at Kobe. He was a merchant and he had been in business in Japan for many years. I knew him very little, but he interested me because once

3、he gave me a great surprise. D R _ Text 2 Unless I had heard the story from his own lips, I should never have believed that he was capable of such an action. It was more startling because both in appearance and manner he suggested a very definite type. Here if ever was a man all of a piece. He was a

4、 tiny little fellow, not much more than five feet four in height, and very slender, with white hair, a red face much wrinkled, and blue eyes. I suppose he was about sixty when I knew him. He was always neatly and quietly dressed in accordance with his age and station.D R _ Text 3 Though his offices

5、were in Kobe, Burton often came down to Yokohama. I happened on one occasion to be spending a few days there, waiting for a ship, and I was introduced to him at the British Club. We played bridge together. He played a good game and a generous one. He did not talk very much, either then or later when

6、 we were having drinks, but what he said was sensible. He had a quiet, dry humor . He seemed to be popular at the club and afterwards, when he had gone, they described him as one of the best. It happened that we were both stayingD R _ Text 4 staying at the Grand Hotel and next day he asked me to din

7、e with him. I met his wife, fat, elderly, and smiling, and his two daughters. It was evidently a united and affectionate family. I think the chief thing that struck me about Burton was his kindliness. There was something very pleasing in his mild blue eyes. His voice was gentle; you could not imagin

8、e that he could possibly raise it in anger; his smile was benign. Here was a man who attracted you because you felt in him a real love for his fellows. At the same time he liked his game of cards and hisD R _ Text 5 his cocktail, he could tell with point a good and spicy story, and in his youth he h

9、ad been something of an athlete. He was a rich man and he had made every penny himself. I suppose one thing that made you like him was that he was so small and frail; he aroused your instincts of protection. You felt that he could not bear to hurt a fly.One afternoon I was sitting in the lounge of t

10、he Grand Hotel when Burton came in and seated himself in the chair next to mine.D R _ Text 6 What do you say to a little drink? He clapped his hands for a boy and ordered two gin fizzes. As the boy brought them a man passed along the street outside and seeing me waved his hand. Do you know Turner? s

11、aid Burton as I nodded a greeting. Ive met him at the club. Im told hes a remittance man. Yes, I believe he is. We have a good many here. He plays bridge well.D R _ Text 7 They generally do. There was a fellow here last year, oddly enough a namesake of mine, who was the best bridge player I ever met

12、. I suppose you never came across him in London. Lenny Burton he called himself. I believe hed belonged to some very good clubs. No, I dont believe I remember the name. He was quite a remarkable player. He seemed to have an instinct about the cards. It was uncanny. I used to play with him a lot. He

13、was in Kobe for some time. Burton sipped his gin fizz.D R _ Text 8 Its rather a funny story, he said. He wasnt a bad chap. I liked him. He was always well-dressed and smart-looking. He was handsome in a way with curly hair and pink-and-white cheeks. Women thought a lot of him. There was no harm in h

14、im, you know, he was only wild. Of course he drank too much. Those sort of fellows alwaysalways do. A bit of money used to come on for him once a quarter and he made a bit more by card-playing. He won a good deal of mine, I know that.D R _ Text 9 Burton gave a kindly chuckle. I knew from my own expe

15、rience that he could lose money at bridge with a good grace. He stroked his shaven chin with his thin hand; the veins stood out on it and it was almost transparent. I suppose that is why he came to me when he went broke, that and the fact that he was a namesake of mine. He came to see me in my offic

16、e one day and asked me for a job. I was rather surprised. He told me that there was no more money coming from home and he wanted to work. I asked him how old he was.D R _ Text 10 “Thirty-five,” he said. “And what have you been doing hitherto?” I asked him. “Well, nothing very much,” he said. I could

17、nt help laughing. “Im afraid I cant do anything for you just yet,” I said. “Come back and see me in another thirty-five years, and Ill see what I can do.”D R _ Text 11 He didnt move. He went rather pale. He hesitated for a moment and then he told me that he had had bad luck at cards for some time. H

18、e hadnt been willing to stick to bridge, hed been playing poker, and hed got trimmed. He hadnt a penny. Hed pawned everything he had. He couldnt pay his hotel bill and they wouldnt give him any more credit. He was down and out. If he couldnt get something to do hed have to commit suicide. I looked a

19、t him for a bit. I could see now that he was all to pieces. Hed been drinking more than usual and he looked fifty. The girls wouldnt have thought so much of him if theyd seen him then.D R _ Text 12 “Well isnt there anything you can do except play cards?” I asked him. “I can swim,” he said. “Swim!” I

20、 could hardly believe my ears; it seemed such an insane answer to give. “I swam for my university.” I got some glimmering of what he was driving at. Ive known too many men who were little tin gods at their university to be impressed by it.D R _ Text 13 “I was a pretty good swimmer myself when I was

21、a young man,” I said. Suddenly I had an idea. Pausing in his story, Burton turned to me. Do you know Kobe? he asked. No, I said, I passed through it once, but I only spent a night there. Then you dont know the Shioya Club. When I was a young man I swam from there round the beacon and landed at the c

22、reek of Tarumi. Its over three miles and its rather difficult on account of the currents round the beacon. Well, I told my young namesake about it and I said to him that if hed do it Id give him a job.D R _ Text 14 I could see he was rather taken aback. “You say youre a swimmer,” I said. “Im not in

23、very good condition,” he answered. I didnt say anything. I shrugged my shoulders. He looked at me for a moment and then he nodded. “All right,” he said. “When do you want me to do it?” I looked at my watch. It was just after ten. “The swim shouldnt take you much over an hour and a quarter. Ill drive

24、 round to the creek at half past twelve and meet you. Ill take you back to the club to dress and then well have lunch together.”D R _ Text 15 “Done,” he said. We shook hands. I wished him good luck and he left me. I had a lot of work to do that morning and I only just managed to get to the creek at

25、Tarumi at half past twelve. But I neednt have hurried; he never turned up. Did he funk it at the last moment? I asked. No, he didnt funk it. He started all right. But of course hed ruined his constitution by drink and dissipation. The currents round the beacon were more than he could manage. We didn

26、t get the body for about three days.D R _ Text 16 I didnt say anything for a moment or two. I was a trifle shocked. Then I asked Burton a question. When you made him that offer of a job, did you know hed be drowned? He gave a little mild chuckle and he looked at me with those kind and candid blue ey

27、es of his. He rubbed his chin with his hand. Well, I hadnt got a vacancy in my office at the moment.D R _ S_ For my own For my own part I find that the longer I know people the more they puzzle me.1.
