Lesson 57 PART A
Back in the old country
I stopped to let the car cool off and to study the map. I had expected to be near my objective by now, but everything still seemed alien to me. I was only five when my father had taken me abroad, and that we eighteen years ago. (1)_______________________. Everything around him was full of her presence, continually reopening the wound. So he decided to emigrate. In the new country he became absorbed in making a new life for the two of us, so that he gradually ceased to grieve. He did not marry again and I was brought up without a woman's care; but I lacked for nothing, for he was both father and mother to me. He always meant to go back on day, but not to stay. His roots and mine had become too firmly embedded in the new land. But he wanted to see the old folk again and to visit my mother's grave. (2)_______________________.
I hired a car the day after landing and bought a comprehensive book of maps, which I found most helpful on the cross-country journey, but which I did not think I should need on the last stage. It was not that I actually remembered anything at all. (3)_______________________. Well, I had been wrong, for I was now lost.
when my mother has died after the tragic accident.he did not quickly recover from the shock and loneliness.
he became more... a few months before we have planned to go. and when he knew that HE WAS dying he made me promised to go my home.
but my father has described over and over again what we should see it every mile stone after leaving the nearest town. so taht i was i should organized as the millions..
