上个星期, 贝琳达打电话来, 一口欧洲口音的英语, 但听得出她有好心情.
"These books really work, as he stayed home reading all days and nights". 她指的是我的中学同学.
"He is seriously thinking about liquidating those apartments and re-investing the fund in the classis stamps"
"Who is Mr. Tony To-Wah Kwan"? 她问.
我说是一位大清Dowager邮票的专家, 在香港.
她又问:"When will Mr. Kwan publish the sequel"?
我当时没听懂the sequel, 后来问我的同学才知道, 他太太急的想定这套书的续集.
