So Raymond found himself unpacking his bag in a London hotel before he had decided on his approach (接近的途径) to Jenny. He [first] (1) thought of the telephone, but he knew that wouldn't do. Jenny believed that he was dead. He couldn't just [ring] (2) up and say he wasn't. [Nor] (3) could he just ring her doorbell and be standing there on the mat. She would think she was seeing things (眼花了). A hot bath and a change of clothes did not bring any revelations (启示), either. He sat down at the writing desk and BOOK 1 - Unit 6 - Language Focus - Comprehensive Exercises began a letter to her — tore it up and began [another] (4) — and tore that up. He [threw] (5) down the pen and went out into the early October dusk of London, — [deliberately] (6) avoiding the address where Jenny was living. He was unaccustomed to dilemmas (两难境界) like this which could not be [reasoned] (7) out in a decent length of time, and he was getting angry with [himself] (8). Moodily he turned into a cheerful-looking [restaurant] (9) and had a lonely meal, aware that he might have Jenny's happy face across the table — he was wasting time — but after so many years, did a few more hours [matter] (10)?
