Section Three:Dictation.Dictation 1:I am not going out with George again. Last week he invited me to go to a footballmatch. I do not like football, so it was silly of me to say yes. We did not have seats, so we had to stand for two hours in the rain. I was cold and wet and I could not see a thing. So I asked George to take me home. He got very angry and said some very unpleasant things.Dictation 2:Last week the sun shone and it got quite hot. I decided to put on my light grey summer trousers. But I got a shock. I could not put them on. They were too small. It is possible that they got smaller during the winter, but I do not think so. I am afraid I got bigger. So I am going to eat less and I am going to take more exercise. I am definitely going to lose some weight.。

So tell me about Thursday.Tom： I'm afraid I was two hours late ... and the supervisor was really angry. Then I put price labels on bottles and tins and packets. Very confusing.Philip： Did you put the right labels on them?Tom： Not always. I made one or two mistakes.Philip： Only one or two? What did you do on Friday and Saturday?Tom： I didn't do very much.

I have to see the supervisor tomorrow.Philip： Well, you'd better get up early. Good luck!1. I hate the stairs. Sometimes the lift isn't working and you have to use the stairs. I can't get up the stairs by myself; it's my back, you see. Jane, my friend, lives on the ground floor, that's much easier. Nearly every morning I stop there for a cup of tea before I come back up here.2. I don't mind living in a tall building. I don't mind the stairs. I quite like the exercise. Of course, it'sdifficult for older people but I don't mind if you live onthe top floor, like Mrs. Green, it's not easy. And I don'tlike the ground floor; I don't think it's safe. But I like my place. I've got three floors below me and three above, I feel very safe. My Mum lives here too, on the ground floor.3. Alice comes every morning. Well, nearly every morning. She's not young any more, you see, she's seventy-eight next birthday, and it's difficult for her to walk up to the top floor. I can't go up; I can't move. It's my leg; I've got abad leg. Carol comes to see me sometimes. She lives here too, you know, in another flat. She's my daughter.We are going to Scotland for our holiday. We are leaving early on Saturday morning and I hope we will get to York about eleven o'clock. We are spending the night in York, then on Sunday we are driving up to Scotland. We are going to stay at a lovely little hotel near a lake. Of course we will probably get some rain, but I am sure we will have afantastic holiday.People often ask me for my telephone number. But I have not got a telephone, so I tell them to ring me at work. Why don't I have a telephone? I think the telephone is expensive and I prefer to write a letter. There aren't many people I want to speak to in the evening and I do not want to speak to anybody at breakfast time. When I want to use the telephone in the evening, I can always use the box at the end of the road.—Can I help you?—Yes, please. I'd like some instant coffee.—Certainly. How much would you like?—A large jar, please.—That's a very nice cardigan. Is it new?—Yes. It was very cheap. I got it in a sale.—I like it very much. It suits you very well.—Oh, thank you.—Do you read many novels?—Yes. I suppose I've read about four novels this year.—I see. And what was the last novel you read?—Let me see. It was A Man in Havana.—And when did you read it?—I read it on Tuesday evening.—Why did you read it?—Well ...—Do you smoke?—Yes, I do.—How long have you been smoking for?—Six years.—And how many cigarettes have you smoked during that time?—Thousands!—I was just about to have a swim when I saw the shark!—That's nothing. I was in the middle of swimming when I saw the shark.—What happened?—I started swimming for the shore, of course.(Yvonne Deraine is staying at the Hotel Noptune.

以下是为⼤家整理的listen to this英语中级听⼒教程Listen05，供⼤家参考，希望会对您有所帮助！ Herbert Wilson and his wife went to the Isle of Wight for their summer holiday. But they were by no means pleased with their hotel. As soon as they returned home, Herbert decided to write to the Manager of Happytours.Herbert: Can you spare a moment, dear? I want you to listen to this letter.Margaret: Go ahead, then.Herbert: Dear Sir, my wife and I arrived home last night after a holiday arranged by your firm, in Jersey. We stayed at the hotel described in your brochure as a comfortable, medium sized hotel, with a magnificent view of the sea, offering courteous, old fashioned service and excellent food, served in a relaxed friendly atmosphere.Margaret: Yes, that's what the brochure said.Herbert: In fact the hotel is situated at least half a mile from the sea. Our room overlooked a car park ...Margaret: Through the gates of which motor vehicles were constantly arriving or departing.Herbert: Yes, that's good. The food was strictly beef burgers and chips or fish and chips. Wine was available, but at exorbitant prices, and as for the courteous, old fashioned service, the majority of the staff were foreign and virtually incapable of speaking or understanding the English language.Margaret: Yes, that's quite true.Herbert: In addition to this, we were most unhappy with the arrangements for our journey home. We were instructed to catch the 11:00 am ferry ...Margaret: Wasn't it 12:00?Herbert: No, 11:00 ... but this was apparently delayed and we did not get away till 6 o'clock in the evening. Now that our holiday is over, it seems fairly pointless writing this letter, but I should like you to know that we were most disappointed with the hotel and travel arrangements and shall certainly not be booking any future holidays through Happytours. Yours faithfully, Herbert Wilson.Margaret: Yes dear, that's a very good letter.Miss Bush is talking to a travel agent in London.Travel Agent: Good morning. Can I help you?Miss Bush: Hello. Er, my name's Miss Bush and I'm intending to go to a conference in Sydney for three weeks.Travel Agent: I see. Er, do you want the excursion fare or the full return fare.Miss Bush: Now, can I get a stopover on an excursion fare?Travel Agent: Yes, you're allowed only one stopover on the excursion fare.Miss Bush: Oh, only one.Travel Agent: Yes. But of course, if you pay the full return fare then you can have unlimited stopovers.Miss Bush: Oh that's much better. Yes. You see, the thing is that I've got two weeks' holiday after the conference and I've never been out that way before at all to Australia or the Far East, and I, I wanted to go, you know, shopping or seeing Hong Kong or India or somewhere round there.Travel Agent: Yes. Uhum.Miss Bush: Um, where exactly can I go?Travel Agent: Well, lots of places. There's Singapore or um, Teheran, Kuwait, Athens, you've really got quite a lot of choice you know.Miss Bush: Mm. Well, it sounds marvellous. Um, how much would that cost? How much is the full fare?Travel Agent: The full fare? Well, that's really quite a lot. It's ￡1204.Miss Bush: (laughs) Yes, a thousand two hundred and four. Well, it's once in a lifetime, you know, I've never been.Travel Agent: Mm.Miss Bush: The thing is, actually that, um, I'm absolutely terrified of flying. I've never done it before.Travel Agent: Oh dear. UhumMiss Bush: And er, um, I'm hoping that I can persuade my two friends, who are also going to the conference, to stop over with me on the way back.Travel Agent: Yes, that would be a good idea, yes.Miss Bush: Mm, yes. By the way, one of them's in Cairo at the moment. Would it be possible for me to stop over there on my way to Sydney?Travel Agent: Yes of course. There are plenty of flights to Cairo and, and then plenty more onwards from Cairo to Sydney. And then you can stay, there, in Cairo, for as long as you like.Miss Bush: Oh that's great? Now, the thing is, I think I'd better go and persuade Mr. Adams that, you know, he'd like to stop with me in Cairo ...Travel Agent: I see.Miss Bush: ... go and discuss it with him and then come back to you in a day or two, if that's all right.Travel Agent: Yes. Certainly. Of course, madam.Miss Bush: Oh, thank you very much. OK. Goodbye.Travel Agent: Thank you. Goodbye.Gillian felt slightly uneasy as the porter unlocked the gates and waved her through. St Alfred's Hospital was not an ordinary mental institution. It was the most exclusive institution of its type in the country. You had to be not only mentally ill, but also extremely wealthy to be accepted as a patient. She parked her car outside the main entrance of the imposing eighteenth century building. She paused on the steps to look at the superb ornamental gardens and surrounding parkland. An old man in a white panama hat was watering the flowerbed beside the steps. He smiled at her.Old man: Good afternoon, miss. A lovely day, isn't it?Gillian: Yes, it certainly is.Old man: Are you a new patient?Gillian: Oh, I'm not a patient. I'm just here to do some research.Old man: Will you be staying long?Gillian: I really don't know. I wonder if you could direct me to Dr. Carmichael's office?Old man: Certainly, miss. Just go through the main door, turn left, walk down to the end of the corridor, and it's the last door on the right.Gillian: Thank you very much indeed.Dr. Carmichael was waiting for her. He had been looking forward to meeting his new research assistant. He himself had always been interested in the special problems of long stay patients. Dr. Carmichael was very proud of his hospital and she was impressed by the relaxed and informal atmosphere. She spent the mornings interviewing patients, and the afternoons writing up the results of her research in the gardens. Some of the patients were withdrawn and depressed, some seemed almost normal. Only one or two had to be kept locked up. She found it hard to believe that all of them had been thought too dangerous to live in normal society. She often saw the old man in the panama hat. He spent most of his time working in the gardens, but he always stopped to speak to her. She found out that his name was Maurice Featherstone. He was a gentle and mild-mannered old fellow, with clear, blue, honest eyes, white hair and a pinkish complexion. He always looked pleased with life. She became particularly curious about him, but Dr. Carmichael had never asked her to interview him, and she wondered why. One night, at dinner, she asked about Mr. Featherstone.Dr. Carmichael: Ah, yes, Maurice. Nice old chap. He's been here longer than anybody.Gillian: What's wrong with him?Dr. Carmichael: Nothing. His family put him here thirty-five years ago. They never come to visit him, but the bills are always paid on time.Gillian: But what had he done?Dr. Carmichael: I'll show you his file. It seems that he burnt down his school when he was seventeen. His family tried to keep the incident quiet. Over the next few years there were a number of mysterious fires in his neighbourhood, but the family did nothing until he tried to set fire to the family mansion. He was in here the next day. Maurice never protested.Gillian: And that was thirty-five years ago!Dr. Carmichael: I'm afraid so. If I'd had my way, I'd have let him out years ago.Gillian: But he can't still be dangerous!Dr. Carmichael: No. He's had plenty of opportunities. We even let him smoke. If he'd wanted to start a fire, he could have done it at any time.Gillian was shocked by the story. She became determined to do something about it. She wrote letters to Maurice's family, but never received a reply. He had never been officially certified as insane, and legally, he could leave at any time. Dr. Carmichael was easily persuaded to let her talk to Maurice.Gillian: Maurice, have you ever thought about leaving this place?Maurice: No, miss. I'm very happy here. This is my home. And anyway, I've got nowhere to go.Gillian: But wouldn't you like to go into the village sometimes ... to walk around, to buy your own tobacco?Maurice: I've never thought about it, miss. I suppose it would be nice. But I wouldn't want to stay away for long. I've spent twenty years working on this garden. I know every flower and tree. What would happen to them if I weren't here?Gillian realized that it would be unkind to make him leave the hospital. However, she found out that the next Saturday was his birthday. She arranged with the staff to give him a party. They wanted it to be a surprise and Dr. Carmichael agreed to let him go out for the afternoon. There was a flower show in the village. Maurice left at two o'clock. He seemed quite excited. They expected him to return about four o'clock. The cook had made a birthday cake and the staff had decorated the lounge. Gillian was standing in the window when she saw him. He was early. He was walking up the drive towards the house, whistling cheerfully. Behind him, above the trees, several thick black columns of smoke were beginning to rise slowly into the clear blue sky.1. The student, puzzled about a particular point, decides to ask a question. As so often happens when under pressure, he tends to concentrate most of his attention on the subject matter and he pays practically no attention to the language. Consequently, (pause) he fails to employ the correct question form.2. However, even though the student does employ an appropriate question form, (pause) difficulties may still arise.3. The basic difficulty may, in fact, be one of several different types. It may lie in the student's limited aural perception, in other words, (pause) the student may not have clearly heard what was said.4. Learners of English have, for example, said to me such things as "See me here tomorrow" or "Explain this". Fortunately, asI deal with non-native speakers and as I understand their language problems, I interpret this as inadequacy in the language rather than rudeness. Other teachers, however, (pause) may feel angry at receiving such orders.5. Today I'm going to consider, very briefly, a problem concerned with the competition for land use, that i... that is (pause) whether crops should be used to produce food or to ... should be used to produce fuel.6. A particularly interesting possibility for many developing countries has been the conversion of plant material to alcohol. Th... this is interesting because in many developing countries there is a large agricultural sector, and at the same time (pause) a small indust r i a l s e c t o r . / p > p b d s f i d = " 1 1 9 " > T h e S c h o o l H o l i d a y s A r e T o o L o n g T o d a y t h e c h i l d r e n o f t h i s c o u n t r y h a v e a t l a s t r e t u r n e d t o w o r k .

Anyway, I don't want to talk to you whoever you are. I really wanted Mrs. Jones.—Who do you want?—Mrs. Jones!—Mrs. Jones?

The furthest distance in the worldIs not struggling against the tides But using one's indifferent heart To dig an uncrossable riverFor the one who loves you.。

And if you'd worn a mask, you wouldn't have been recognized. ??I didn't go inside!??Ah, there's another thing. You should've worn gloves, Mulligan.

They must be mad too.They certainly shout and scream like madmen. In fact I'm afraid to goout when there's afootball match. The crowds are so dangerous. I'd rather stay at home and watch TV. Butwhat happens when I switch on? They're showing a football match. So I turn on the radio.What do I hear? 'The latest football scores.' And what do I see when I open a newspaper?Photos of footballers, interviews with footballers, reports of football matches. Footballersare the heroes of the twentieth century. They're rich and famous.

If the people are good, the pub will be good.Male: You must have a good landlord, and people with a sense of humor behind the bar. If the landlord is bad, the pub will be bad.Female: I love old pubs. If it's one of those modern places, I won't go in. Male: And a good pub must have good beer. If the beer's no good, people will look for another place.Female: I won't go if there isn't a garden. I have children, and if the pub doesn't have a garden or family room, we can't go in.02My grandfather used to have a beautiful gold pocket watch. He wore it on a fine gold chain across the front of his waistcoat, and when I was small he promised to leave it to me in his will."When I'm gone," he said, "this is going to be yours."Unfortunately that will never happen now. About three months ago, my grandfather came up to London to visit us. The first Sunday morning after he arrived, my youngest son said he wanted to go to the park."We'll do better than that," said my grandfather, "we'll go and feed the pigeons in Trafalgar Square." So off they went. They got home about tea-time and my grandfather was looking very upset."My watch," he said, "it's gone. Someone must have stolen it while we were feeding the pigeons."301My name is Daniel. I am French. I live in a small town. I work in a hotel, but I do not live in the hotel. I live with my parents. My home is near the hotel, so I walk to work every day.02There is some sugar, there is some coffee and there is a lot of tea, but there is not much jam. There are some tomatoes, but there are not any eggs or biscuits and there is not much milk. So we want jam, eggs, biscuits and milk.八101Jurg: Mrs. Scott ...Mrs. Scott: Yes?Jurg: I'm afraid I've had an accident.Mrs. Scott: Oh, dear, what's happened?Jurg: I've spilt my coffee.Mrs. Scott: Never mind. Here's a cloth.02Klaus is using the launderette for the first time.Klaus: Excuse me, do you know how this works?Housewife: Yes. Put the washing inside ... shut the door ... the money goes in here, then when the machine starts you have to put the soap powder in through here.Klaus: Is that all?Housewife: Yes, you don't have to do anything else until the machine stops. Klaus: Thank you.03Terry: Frank's getting married.James: Is he really?Terry: Yes he is.James: I don't believe it.Terry: It's true.James: Who's he marrying?Terry: A girl he met on holiday in Spain, I think.James: Good heavens ... where are they going to live?201A: Do you love me?B: I'm very fond of you.A: Yes, but do you love me?B: Uh ... You mean a lot to me.A: Why won't you answer my question?B: What question?A: Do you love me? Come on! I want to know.B: I care for you very deeply. You know that.A: That isn't the same thing!B: What kind of answer do you expect?A: The truth! I want the truth!B: How can I possibly answer such a question?02Do you remember Sally Green, the swimming star? She was the girl who broke all the records at the last Olympics. Where is she now? Last week our reporter, Tom Parker, went to see Sally in her Californian home.Tom: Is it true that you don't swim at all now?Sally: I'm afraid so. I'm too old.Tom: But you are only twenty!Sally: That's too old for a swimmer. If I swam in an international competition now, I wouldn't win. So I'd rather not swim at all.Tom: But don't you enjoy swimming?Sally: I used to, when I was small. But if you enter for big competitions you have to work very hard. I used to get up at 6 am to go to the pool. I had to train before school, after school and at weekends. I swam thirty-five miles every week!Tom: But you were famous at fifteen. And look at all those cups.Sally: Would you like to polish them? It's true that I have some wonderfulmemories. I enjoyed visiting other countries, and the Olympics were very exciting. But I missed more important things. While other girls were growing up, I was swimming. What can I do now?301There is a small shop at the end of our road. I buy my newspaper there every Sunday. This is the only shop that is open on a Sunday, so it is always very busy. They sell milk, eggs, biscuits, tea and coffee. You can get aspirins, toothpaste or a writing pad there. It is a nice little shop.02This evening I am going to the cinema. I sometimes go with Beatriz, but this evening I am going alone. Beatriz is nice, but she talks a lot and when I go to the cinema I like to watch the film. The film I am going to is an old one, but it is very good. It is a Hitchcock film.九101Sophie: Here's some coffee.George: Oh, fantastic ... er ... is there any sugar?Sophie: Sugar ... yes, of course ... here you are.George: Thanks ... er ...Sophie: What's the matter now?These: Er ... are there any chocolate biscuits?Sophie: No, there aren't.George: Oh ...02Kathy: Where do you live?David: Near Victoria Station.Kathy: In a flat or a house?David: In a flat.

It's very near my office.03Christine: When did you buy that new necklace?Libby: I didn't buy it. It was a present.Christine: Oh, who gave it to you?Libby: A friend.Christine: Anybody I know?Libby: Don't ask so many questions.04Tom and Anna saw a film yesterday.Tom: It was exciting, wasn't it?Anna: Yes, it was.Tom: Charles Bronson was good, wasn't he?Anna: Yes, he always is.Tom: I thought the girl was good too.Anna: Did you?201Eustace: What are you doing?Luanda: I'm packing.Eustace: Why?Luanda: Because I'm leaving.Eustace: You're not.Lucinda: Yes, I am. I'm catching the first train tomorrow. Instance: But, I ...Luanda: ... and I'm not coming back.Eustace: Oh, oh ... where are you going?Lucinda: To ... to ... Hawaii.Eustace: Oh darling.02Phillip: Excuse me, Mr. Jones. Can you help me?Mr. Jones: Of course. What's the problem?Pall: Well, I have to wear an overall but I can't find one.Mr. Jones: That's easy. Why don't you look in the cupboard besides the washbasin? You'll find one there.03(sound of phone ringing)Jean: 7824145. Jean Williamson speaking.Tom: Oh, it's you, Jean. Sorry I had to rush off this morning. How are the boys? Jean: I'm taking them to the doctor at twelve o'clock, but I'm sure they're going to be all right.Tom: That's good. What about you?Jean: Oh, I'm fine now. I'm going to bake a birthday cake for tomorrow. And ... I've got a camera for Peter and some records for Paul.Tom: You spoil them. I'm going to open a savings account for them. They need to learn how to save money.301My grandfather lives with us. He is seventy years old and I like talking to him. Every day I go for a walk with him in the park. My grandfather has a dog. The dog's name is Nelson. Nelson is old and he has very short legs and bad eyes. But my grandfather likes him very much.02I have a small black and white television and I can get a good picture. But my brother has got a color television. It is bigger, heavier and more complicated than mine. My brother gets a better picture on his television than I do on mine. So when there is something very good on TV, I usually go and see my brother.十101Instructor: Listen to these people. They are all taking things to be repaired. Of course, they want to know how much it will cost and how long it will take.Listen to their questions and write the answers you hear. Here is an example. Woman: How much will it cost to repair this typewriter?Male Assistant: About a pound.Woman: That's not bad. But how long will it take?Male Assistant: Only about a week.Instructor: Look at the answers the assistant gives his customer. The first answer is 'about a pound.' The second answer is 'about a week.' Now listen to these dialogues and write the missing words in your book.Dialogue A:Man: Can you give me an estimate to repair this bicycle?Female Assistant: I think it'll cost about twelve or thirteen pounds.Man: And how long will it take?Female Assistant: A fortnight, more or less.Dialogue B:Woman: Would you have a look at this television set, please?Female Assistant: Yes, of course.

It's cheaper to buy a new one.Dialogue C:Man: How much do you think it'll cost to repair this typewriter?Female Assistant: Let me see. It's a 1960 model. About twenty pounds, I'm afraid.Man: That's rather a lot. And how long will it take?Female Assistant: About a month.Man: Thank you. I'd like to think about it.Instructor: Listen again to the customer from the typewriter shop. He thinks twenty pounds is rather a lot but he needs a typewriter... Then he remembers his friend, Tony. Tony has several typewriters. Bob, the customer, has an idea. He meets his friends, Tony. Listen to their conversation.Dialogue D:Tony: Hello, Bob. What's that heavy parcel you're carrying?Bob: It's my old typewriter. I've just been to the shop. The assistant says it'll cost about twenty pounds to repair.Tony: That's rather a lot. What are you going to do?Bob: Well, you've got several typewriters. Could you lend me one?Tony: I'll have to think about it.201Instructor: Frank and Peter want new bicycles.

It's newer.Instructor: Frank and Peter are still looking at advertisements. They can't decide which bike to buy.Peter: The Anderson bike looks very comfortable.Frank: Yes, but the Curzon looks bigger.Pedro: I don't want a big bike. I want a comfortable one.Frank: All right. The Anderson bike is good. But the Curzon is Better.02Instructor: Do you remember Regine? Where does she come from? Is she married? Where does she work?

Herbert Wilson and his wife went to the Isle of Wight for their summer holiday. But they were by no means pleased with their hotel. As soon as they returned home, Herbert decided to write to the Manager of Happytours. Herbert: Can you spare a moment, dear? I want you to listen to this letter. Margaret: Go ahead, then. Herbert: Dear Sir, my wife and I arrived home last night after a holiday arranged by your firm, in Jersey. We stayed at the hotel described in your brochure as a comfortable, medium sized hotel, with a magnificent view of the sea, offering courteous, old fashioned service and excellent food, served in a relaxed friendly atmosphere. Margaret: Yes, that's what the brochure said. Herbert: In fact the hotel is situated at least half a mile from the sea. Our room overlooked a car park ... Margaret: Through the gates of which motor vehicles were constantly arriving or departing. Herbert: Yes, that's good. The food was strictly beef burgers and chips or fish and chips. Wine was available, but at exorbitant prices, and as for the courteous, old fashioned service, the majority of the staff were foreign and virtually incapable of speaking or understanding the English language. Margaret: Yes, that's quite true. Herbert: In addition to this, we were most unhappy with the arrangements for our journey home. We were instructed to catch the 11:00 am ferry ... Margaret: Wasn't it 12:00? Herbert: No, 11:00 ... but this was apparently delayed and we did not get away till 6 o'clock in the evening. Now that our holiday is over, it seems fairly pointless writing this letter, but I should like you to know that we were most disappointed with the hotel and travel arrangements and shall certainly not be booking any future holidays through Happytours. Yours faithfully, Herbert Wilson. Margaret: Yes dear, that's a very good letter. Miss Bush is talking to a travel agent in London. Travel Agent: Good morning. Can I help you? Miss Bush: Hello. Er, my name's Miss Bush and I'm intending to go to a conference in Sydney for three weeks. Travel Agent: I see. Er, do you want the excursion fare or the full return fare. Miss Bush: Now, can I get a stopover on an excursion fare? Travel Agent: Yes, you're allowed only one stopover on the excursion fare. Miss Bush: Oh, only one. Travel Agent: Yes. But of course, if you pay the full return fare then you can have unlimited stopovers. Miss Bush: Oh that's much better. Yes. You see, the thing is that I've got two weeks' holiday after the conference and I've never been out that way before at all to Australia or the Far East, and I, I wanted to go, you know, shopping or seeing Hong Kong or India or somewhere round there. Travel Agent: Yes. Uhum. Miss Bush: Um, where exactly can I go? Travel Agent: Well, lots of places. There's Singapore or um, Teheran, Kuwait, Athens, you've really got quite a lot of choice you know. Miss Bush: Mm. Well, it sounds marvellous. Um, how much would that cost? How much is the full fare? Travel Agent: The full fare? Well, that's really quite a lot. It's ￡1204. Miss Bush: (laughs) Yes, a thousand two hundred and four. Well, it's once in a lifetime, you know, I've never been. Travel Agent: Mm. Miss Bush: The thing is, actually that, um, I'm absolutely terrified of flying. I've never done it before. Travel Agent: Oh dear. UhumMiss Bush: And er, um, I'm hoping that I can persuade my two friends, who are also going to the conference, to stop over with me on the way back. Travel Agent: Yes, that would be a good idea, yes. Miss Bush: Mm, yes. By the way, one of them's in Cairo at the moment. Would it be possible for me to stop over there on my way to Sydney? Travel Agent: Yes of course. There are plenty of flights to Cairo and, and then plenty more onwards from Cairo to Sydney. And then you can stay, there, in Cairo, for as long as you like. Miss Bush: Oh that's great? Now, the thing is, I think I'd better go and persuade Mr. Adams that, you know, he'd like to stop with me in Cairo ... Travel Agent: I see. Miss Bush: ... go and discuss it with him and then come back to you in a day or two, if that's all right. Travel Agent: Yes. Certainly. Of course, madam. Miss Bush: Oh, thank you very much. OK. Goodbye. Travel Agent: Thank you. Goodbye. Gillian felt slightly uneasy as the porter unlocked the gates and waved her through. St Alfred's Hospital was not an ordinary mental institution. It was the most exclusive institution of its type in the country. You had to be not only mentally ill, but also extremely wealthy to be accepted as a patient. She parked her car outside the main entrance of the imposing eighteenth century building. She paused on the steps to look at the superb ornamental gardens and surrounding parkland. An old man in a white panama hat was watering the flowerbed beside the steps. He smiled at her. Old man: Good afternoon, miss. A lovely day, isn't it? Gillian: Yes, it certainly is. Old man: Are you a new patient? Gillian: Oh, I'm not a patient. I'm just here to do some research. Old man: Will you be staying long? Gillian: I really don't know. I wonder if you could direct me to Dr. Carmichael's office? Old man: Certainly, miss. Just go through the main door, turn left, walk down to the end of the corridor, and it's the last door on the right. Gillian: Thank you very much indeed.Dr. Carmichael was waiting for her. He had been looking forward to meeting his new research assistant. He himself had always been interested in the special problems of long stay patients. Dr. Carmichael was very proud of his hospital and she was impressed by the relaxed and informal atmosphere. She spent the mornings interviewing patients, and the afternoons writing up the results of her research in the gardens. Some of the patients were withdrawn and depressed, some seemed almost normal. Only one or two had to be kept locked up. She found it hard to believe that all of them had been thought too dangerous to live in normal society. She often saw the old man in the panama hat. He spent most of his time working in the gardens, but he always stopped to speak to her. She found out that his name was Maurice Featherstone. He was a gentle and mild-mannered old fellow, with clear, blue, honest eyes, white hair and a pinkish complexion. He always looked pleased with life. She became particularly curious about him, but Dr. Carmichael had never asked her to interview him, and she wondered why. One night, at dinner, she asked about Mr. Featherstone. Dr. Carmichael: Ah, yes, Maurice. Nice old chap. He's been here longer than anybody. Gillian: What's wrong with him? Dr. Carmichael: Nothing. His family put him here thirty-five years ago. They never come to visit him, but the bills are always paid on time. Gillian: But what had he done? Dr. Carmichael: I'll show you his file. It seems that he burnt down his school when he was seventeen. His family tried to keep the incident quiet. Over the next few years there were a number of mysterious fires in his neighbourhood, but the family didnothing until he tried to set fire to the family mansion. He was in here the next day. Maurice never protested. Gillian: And that was thirty-five years ago! Dr. Carmichael: I'm afraid so. If I'd had my way, I'd have let him out years ago. Gillian: But he can't still be dangerous! Dr. Carmichael: No. He's had plenty of opportunities. We even let him smoke. If he'd wanted to start a fire, he could have done it at any time.Gillian was shocked by the story. She became determined to do something about it. She wrote letters to Maurice's family, but never received a reply. He had never been officially certified as insane, and legally, he could leave at any time. Dr. Carmichael was easily persuaded to let her talk to Maurice. Gillian: Maurice, have you ever thought about leaving this place?Maurice: No, miss. I'm very happy here. This is my home. And anyway, I've got nowhere to go.Gillian: But wouldn't you like to go into the village sometimes ... to walk around, to buy your own tobacco? Maurice: I've never thought about it, miss. I suppose it would be nice. But I wouldn't want to stay away for long. I've spent twenty years working on this garden. I know every flower and tree. What would happen to them if I weren't here? Gillian realized that it would be unkind to make him leave the hospital. However, she found out that the next Saturday was his birthday. She arranged with the staff to give him a party. They wanted it to b e a s u r p r i s e a n d D r . C a r m i c h a e l a g r e e d t o l e t h i m g o o u t f o r t h e a f t e r n o o n .
