ound the room and suddenly, with more vivacity (轻松活泼) than I had seen in weeks, exclaimed, “Isn’t that Ernest Hemingway？”

At the end of the bar, talking on the telephone, was a tall man with a white beard,handsome and imposing.

“It’s Hemingway all right,” I said.

“Why don’t you ask him to have a drink with us？” she said, knowing I wouldn’t dare. What matter if the barman at the Ritz threw me out？ My life was over anyway. “I’ll ask him,” I said.

“No, no, don’t ,” she said. “I was just kidding.”

“I wasn’t,” I said, squaring my shoulders and striding to the bar. Hemingway had just ended his phone call.

“Mr. Hemingway,” I said, “the young lady at the far table and I would like you to join us for a drink, if you have time.”

He looked at me, then across the room at her. Whether it was because I was so obviously on the spot or because she was so pretty-she really did look like a cross between Gene Tierney and Audrey Hepburn, as people often remarked-he said, “I’ve got another phone call to make, and then I’ll join you.”

When I returned to the table, my girl friend asked: “What’d he say？ What’d he say？”

“He said he’d join us for a drink. Maybe he was just kidding.”

A few minutes later, with both of us studiously not looking toward the end of the bar,a shadow loomed over the table and Hemingway sat down. We ordered another round of Bloody Marys.

Hemingway told us he was going down to Spain for the bullfights. He said he had fully recovered from injuries suffered when his small plane had crashed in the African jungle a few months before. He asked me what kind of car I drove, and when I told him I had a Triumph TR-2-a big engine for a small chassis (汽车底盘) -he remarked, “Get us the manifold pressure in one of those and you can really roll.”

We chatted for a few moments. Then he looked at his watch and said: “I’d like to stay longer, but I’ve got a dinner date. Nice talking to you.”

My girl friend took my hand and smiled warmly at me for the first time in weeks.“You’ve got nerve,” she said. I signaled for the check. “Monsieur Hemingway a paye,” the waiter said. Mr. Hemingway had paid for the drinks.

wife and they each had their own way of going on.Her job was to look after him.” The wife wouldn't stand for it nowadays.

Husbands help with the children now.They stay more in the home and have more interest in the home.We shall give some examples of what husbands do in consequence, firstly, in sharing work with their wives, and secondly, in their largely independent domain (领域，范围) of house repairing.

body. Our minds also need a kind of food. This kind of food is 52. We begin to get knowledge even 53 we are very young. Small children are 54 in everything around them.

tell them I mostly travel alone.

"You're so brave!"

Why is it that a woman travelling alone, as I have often done for months at a time, is perceived to be "brave", whereas men who travel alone are entirely unremarkable？

You are only brave when you are afraid of something but still do it anyway.I have never been afraid of travelling alone.

The first time I travelled alone was when I was19.I was due to travel in Europe with a friend at the end of the summer.She announced by letter two days before our departure that she would be leaving me halfway at Vienna.It was too late by then to rope in another friend, so it was either to go home after Vienna, or keep going by myself.I kept going.I got on trains by myself, checked into hostels by myself and found my way around by myself.It was weird at first, but later I stopped worrying about it.

When I got back to Ireland after that trip, I felt proud of myself.I had done something I had assumed would be hard, and it had turned out to be not hard at all.

That was three decades ago, and since then I have travelled all over the world, usually on my own.I still do what I did then, which is to keep a diary.The greatest gift of solo travel has been those I've met along the way.I may have set off alone each time but I've encountered many people who became important to me.I met my husband in Kathmandu, Nepal.I met lifelong friends in Australia, Poland, Hungary, Turkey, India, Indonesia and many other places.
