篇2：Mr. Good
I could’ve kicked myself for chasing a woman bass player all the way to Cincinnati: a month after I got there, I left her for a twenty-three-year-old grocery clerk. A few weeks later that was over, too, and I didn’t even have money for a bus ticket back to Dallas. I hadn’t been able to find a gig since I’d moved. I tried finding work in a music store, and then started applying anywhere and everywhere—fast food, motels, convenience stores—and finally to stay out of a homeless shelter I had to pawn the only one of my guitars worth much, a 1965 Gibson Hummingbird. I stayed drunk for two days. Then I started working day labor so I could get it back. I was mixing mortar and carrying bricks, which I hated because it messed with my hands. The second week I smashed a thumbnail.
Everyday I went to the pawnshop to make sure the guitar was still there. The owner looked like a vaguely degenerate antique dealer in a movie. He wore a vest.
Every morning I got up at five and made the half-hour walk to the temp service, a trailer set up in a gravel lot. The place looked like a used car dealership without any cars and the owner was a big thick guy named Purcell who was quick to let you know he was retired Navy. The whole set up was pretty shady. Pay was always in cash and you had to get there before dawn to get a job. Except for me the crowd was all Mexican, illegals I’m pretty sure. They stayed to themselves, so I’d stand alone while we waited for Purcell to show up and smoke and drink coffee and think about how I was going to smash the guitar over a low brick wall once I got it back. My father gave it to me when I was eighteen. One afternoon, 1979, when my high school let out he was in the parking lot sitting on the hood of an old Lincoln he’d parked sideways across five spaces. You couldn’t miss him any way you looked. He was dressed in the same outfit Hank Williams was buried in. I hadn’t heard from him for seven years.
I told my friends I was supposed to meet with a teacher and went back inside and hid in the bathroom—I figured if I waited long enough he’d leave. The janitor ran me out of there so I wouldn’t interfere with his drinking. I killed some time walking the halls, then fooling at my locker. Finally the assistant principal who was locking up made me leave.
He was still outside. It was deserted now. He smiled and waved.
“Thought that was you I saw,” he said. “Figured I’d wait.”
I nodded. I didn’t know what to say.
“I hear you’re getting ready to be a high school graduate,” he said.
I nodded again.
“That’s real good.” He cocked his head, looking at me and smiling. “Your grandma don’t mind your hair being that long?”
“She hasn’t said anything.”
“First time I came in with a duck tail she chased me with the scissors.” He took a pack of cigarettes from his inside coat pocket and rapped it on his knee and a single cigarette jumped halfway out, and if he hadn’t been my father that would’ve been cool as hell.
He wanted to go get a hamburger. The inside of the Lincoln smelled like a strip club at six AM. The radio was missing. I reminded him how to get to McKenna’s, a place that had curb service. After we got our drinks he poured part of his Coke out the window and filled it back up from a pint of bourbon he pulled from under the seat. He offered me the bottle but I shook my head.
“Don’t drink?” he asked.
I shrugged.
He nodded. “Don’t seem to talk, either.”
After seven years that crawled all over me. I turned away and stared out my window.
“Ah son,” he said, “I know, I know. I . . . well,” and then I heard his cup slosh. I was looking out at a station wagon where a woman was handing around soft serve cones to her kids. A little boy in the backseat was looking back at me.
“Your grandma tells me you’re playing now,” he said.
“Yeah.” I still didn’t look at him.
“What’re you doing?”
I was in a bad cover band that played sock hops and dances at country clubs. I’d been listening to Earl Klugh and Wes Montgomery, too, trying some of that out.
“Not much,” I said.
The boy pulled his nose up with his thumb and grinned. He had braces. His mother had on a green scarf.
“I guess you don’t go in for Bob Wills and such,” he said.
“No,” I said.
“Not many do anymore,” he said. “That’s why this car’s such a piece of shit.”
Then neither of us said anything. A long minute passed, then another. The little boy kept making faces between licks of his cone. Then the mother caught him. After a glance at me, she jerked him around by the collar.
I heard him splash bourbon into his cup again.
Then the car hop brought the tray with the food and hung it on his window and I felt like I could finally turn around.
“Anything else?” she asked. She was bleach blond and pudgy—I recognized her from school a couple years back but didn’t know her. She had on white jeans and a pink shirt with the tails tied into a knot below her breasts. When you looked at her all you saw was stomach.
“You all got any ice cream left in there?” he said.
“Sure,” she said.
“Then get you one and charge it on my ticket. Girl who looks sweet as cake needs some ice cream to go with her.”
She giggled.
“Or maybe you want a drink of this special Co’-Cola instead?” he asked.
She leered, looked left and then right. “Sure,” she said. He handed her the cup and she ducked her head and took a drink.
“When they let you off here?” he said.
“Not soon enough,” she said. “The horse’s ass that runs the place keeps us here half the night.”
“Well, we’re big boys,” he said. “We get to stay up late.”
I opened my door and got out. He looked around. “Hey, where you going?”
I shut the door. My eyes met the girl’s over the roof of the car, then I ducked my head in the window. “I’ve got to go,” I said. “I’ll see you,” and I started away from the car.
“Hey!” he yelled.
But I didn’t turn around. He yelled a couple more times but I kept going. When I was far enough away I looked back. The girl was still standing at the Lincoln.
I was hoping he’d be waiting outside the house when I got home. He wasn’t.
A week later a notice came from Martin’s Drugs saying I had a Trailways package. It was a cardboard box wrapped in brown butcher’s paper and tied with string, light to carry but about the size of Shakespeare’s coffin. When I got it home and opened it I found a new calfskin guitar case packed in newspaper and inside that was the Hummingbird. The guitar was in good shape, but the words Mr Good were scratched in tall letters on the back of the body. In the bottom of the case was a note:
Son
I wont you to have this a fine instrumint i bought it new in 1965. Maybe somday we can play together i can teech you some Bob wills. The only thing about it is i got no idee how the writing got on the back i woke up in a motel in oddessa tex 8 yeer ago and it was almost nite and their it was this is stil a good guitar.
Dad
I hadn’t heard from him since. If he was alive he’d be sixty-three, and the older I got the more I wished I could see him. We’d have something to talk about now that I’d made every mistake he had.
Once I was living with a psychologist and she started ribbing me after she saw how I took such good care of the Gibson. Better take Mr. Good to soccer practice, she’d say, or Mr. Good says he wants to order Chinese. If she hadn’t been so good-looking I wouldn’t have put up with her—she’d come home after counseling all day and make astrology charts on her clients and smoke pot. She finally drank enough coffee one morning to think to ask how I got the guitar. I told her the story about my dad.
“That’s cute,” she said.
I just stared at her.
“What is it?” she said.
I shook my head.
“No, what is it?” she asked, almost hysterical.
“Nothing,” I said. “Just looking at your hair.”
* * *
It was cold. I was in Purcell’s lot, smoking, drinking coffee, half-listening to the Spanish talk all around me. I had seven hundred dollars in my socks—after getting paid today I’d have enough to get the Gibson back, and after Monday and Tuesday I’d have enough to go back to Dallas—and then suddenly an angry shout came from behind the trailer, then another. The lot quickly fell silent. Then the Spanish started up again and most of the men walked over and looked behind the trailer but as soon they did they started leaving, some running, and in about two minutes the place was deserted except for me.
I kept watching the trailer, about fifteen yards away. Nothing. I couldn’t hear anything either but the hum of the arc lights. I didn’t know what to do. I was kind of scared, but I had to try to work that day, no matter what, so I decided to stay where I was and wait for Purcell to show up. I started to light another cigarette, then footsteps sounded on the gravel and a man staggered around the side of the trailer. He was clutching his side and when he saw me he said something in Spanish. He was big, at least three hundred pounds, and looked like a bear coming toward me. Then he just stopped and stood there. I could hear his breathing. He sank to his knees like a camel sitting down and fell over.
For about a hundred and fifty dollars I would’ve left. But there weren’t any philanthropists in the vicinity. I went over to him. He had rolled onto his back and when he saw me standing over him he started talking in Spanish. He had a rip in the side of his thin jacket and there were dark stains around it. I took off my denim coat and kneeled down, and when he saw what I was doing he moved his hands and let me use the coat as a compress. Some warm blood soaked into the denim, but not much. He seemed more panicked than anything. He just kept on jabbering.
Then I heard other voices. Two Mexicans were standing a few yards away, at the edge of the light.
“Habla ingles?” I called out.
“No much, no much,” the taller of the two said.
I got him to hold the jacket in place and right away he and the injured man started talking, arguing it sounded like. I ran the three blocks to the store where I made a point of buying my coffee every morning because I liked the way the clerk looked. I asked her to call 911.
“Sorry, the phone’s not public,” she said.
“Are you kidding?” I said.
She shook her head. “That’s the rule.”
“But a guy’s been knifed or something.”
She hesitated, then looked at her watch, a pink thing the size of a coaster. “My manager’s due here any minute now and he says you can’t let the phone thing get started or people’ll be asking to use it all the time.” She looked over my shoulder. “Could you move, please?”
I stepped over but stayed at the counter and an old black guy in a baseball cap moved up and gave her numbers for a lottery ticket.
“So you’re not going to call?” I said.
“No,” she said.
I went outside and picked up the receiver on the pay phone on the side of the building and put it to my ear even though I knew it was dead. I asked two people going into the store if they had cell phones—both shook their heads, though one had his in a holster on his belt. Then I ran back to the temp service because there wasn’t another payphone nearby and I didn’t know what else to do.
Purcell was there. He had his headlights directed onto the scene and he stood in their beams next to the injured man and the two Mexicans who were squatting over him. The shorter one, who I could now see was an older man, was crying.
“I can’t have this kind of helling going on here,” Purcell was saying.
“Mr. Purcell,” I said.
He jerked his head around and squinted into the headlights. “Hey, who’s there?” He recognized me. “So did you see what happened here?”
“No. I just tried to call an ambulance but I couldn’t find a phone.”
He waved like he was shooing a fly. “I checked him, he doesn’t need one. It’d be a waste of the taxpayers’ money. All he’s got is a little lard sliced off.” Then he put his hands on his hips and stared down at the man. He had on a white short sleeve shirt and a dark tie; I had never seen him in a coat, no matter the temperature. “Hey,” he said loudly and all three Mexicans looked up at him and he spoke to them in broken Spanish. The tall one holding my jacket answered.
According to Purcell’s translation: the two Mexicans who had stayed were from the same town in Mexico as the injured man, and the older one was his uncle or cousin or something. Two days ago the tall Mexican had heard that the injured man—who looked at least thirty—had gotten someone’s teenage daughter pregnant. The tall Mexican wasn’t sure who the girl was, but he’d heard there’d been a blow up with her father.
“I didn’t think there was anybody left who cared about that,” Purcell said. He took out a pack of Juicy Fruit and put a stick in his mouth. He stared down at the man, his face a brown study. I crossed my arms and hugged myself. I was freezing.
“This has implications,” Purcell said.
“We should probably call an ambulance,” I said.
“We might do that,” he said. “But we’ve got to move him off this property first.”
I didn’t say anything, but Purcell jerked his head around like I had.
“Just because this pussel-gut decides to tap some Mexican cheerleader, I should have to pay double and triple on my liability insurance? And as for the police,” he said, “what’d you think: Columbo’s gonna show up here at dawn?” He pulled a wallet-on-a-chain out of his back pocket and started speaking Spanish again. When he finished all three Mexicans nodded. The old one wiped his eyes with the back of his hand. Then Purcell took out two fifty-dollar bills and handed one to each of the two squatting men. They both spoke to the injured man, patted him on the shoulder, then stood up and left. Purcell bent over the injured man and slipped two bills into his pants pocket. He spoke to him and the man answered. Purcell replied, his voice angry. The man shook his head back and forth on the ground. Purcell started cursing in English. He turned to me, “Sack of shit says he can’t get up.”
“Huh,” I said.
Purcell gave the man a little kick in the hip and said something in Spanish. Then he grabbed the man’s arm and tried to haul him up. He didn’t budge. He was dead weight. Purcell dropped his arm. “All right,” he said, “you get his shoulders and I’ll get his legs,” and he stepped around the man to his feet. I didn’t move.
He waved. “Come on, let’s go.”
“That’s my coat there,” I pointed.
“Yeah? So?” he said.
“It’s ruined,” I said.
His expression deadened as he figured it out, which took about two seconds. He shook his head and cursed again. He took out his wallet and handed over a fifty.
“I need a hundred more,” I said.
If either of us had been smoking the whole block would’ve exploded. “Listen,” he said, “I wouldn’t be paying anybody anything if I could speak enough Spanish to make these tacos understand if they don’t do what I say I’ll tell the police whatever I want. But even though you’re a goddamn briar you understand me, don’t you?”
“The police might hassle me on your sayso,” I said, “but that’s about all they could do. And think about it. If I do end up talking to them, I’m such a briar I might let it slip how you run a straight cash business.”
He turned his back to me and started muttering. He stayed that way at least a half-minute. Then he turned back around holding out five twenties. His mouth was very tight.
Lifting the man was like picking up one end of a rowboat full of water, if you’ve ever done that. We carried him ten yards, rested, then went the last ten yards to the street. Purcell dropped the man’s feet and stayed bent over with his hands on his knees, huffing and puffing. He glanced up at me, then unhooked his key ring from his belt and tossed it and it hit the sidewalk right in front of me and I had to do a skip to keep it from hitting my feet. “Move my car up to the trailer,” he said.
I looked at the keys, then at him. “What?” I said.
“Do it, or I’ll tell the cops you robbed me.” He took his cell phone out of his back pocket.
“Why do you want me to do it?” I said.
“Just because I do,” he said.
“Forget you,” I said.
“All right,” he said and punched a button on the phone, and that’s when I thought of the seven hundred dollars in my socks and how great it would look on a guy without a coat.
The car was a Cadillac in name only. The last time it looked good Eddie Murphy was funny. I slid under the wheel, but didn’t close the door so the rooflight would stay on and I could find things. The seat was too far up for me to fit my feet to the pedals, so I reached down to find the lever and my hand hit a bottle under the seat. It was a half-pint of Jack Daniels and all that was empty was the neck. I unscrewed the cap, bent over like I’d dropped the keys and took a drink, then sat up again. The glove box was missing its door, a cigar with an inch of dead ash was in the ashtray, a single porno playing card was in the passenger seat, a woman who looked like she was waiting for surgery to begin. I turned the card over: seven of clubs. I bent over and took another drink. I was thinking of the last time I saw my father—one of these old boats always did that.
I discovered the seat wouldn’t move, so I managed to get situated with my legs splayed out on either side of the steering wheel. I shut the door, then pulled the car up in front of the trailer and cut the engine and the lights. I stuck the half-pint down the front of my pants. Then I looked in the rearview mirror: Purcell was still at the curb, under a streetlight, standing over the injured man talking and gesturing. It looked like he was haranguing a corpse.
I leaned over to get at my pants pocket and took out the hundred and fifty and put it on the dash behind the steering wheel. I just couldn’t abide the idea of having to think of Purcell everytime I played the Gibson. I would’ve rather seen it in the hands of Campfire Girls.
The pawn shop opened a half-hour before the liquor stores. I’d been waiting in a coffee shop across the street. I had the Gibson’s empty calfskin case and a Epiphone in its case. I was going to pawn the Epi which would give me the last fifty I needed to get the Gibson back, plus another sixty or seventy. That much would get me to Shreveport, and I figured I knew enough people in Dallas I could find someone who’d drive out and get me.
I went in the pawn shop, the bell ringing over my head, and right away I noticed the Gibson wasn’t on its stand in the line of guitars that sat on a high shelf in the back. Holding the two cases I suddenly felt like an idiot in a Norman Rockwell painting. The empty one felt light enough to throw through the display window.
The owner was still wearing his pea coat and was at the back of the long shotgun room behind a line of jewelry cases to my left. He came up front.
“It’s gone,” he said. “Girl bought it last night not long after you came in.”
I set down the guitar cases.
“She paid cash so I don’t know who she was,” he said.
I asked him what she looked like.
“I wouldn’t kick her out of bed for eating crackers,” he said.
I kept looking at him. I couldn’t believe he had said that. Then he gave a police blotter description of the girl—young, long brown hair, skinny, pale, wearing jeans and a green jacket, said he wouldn’t call her pretty exactly. I asked him, if she came back in, to give her my name and the place where I roomed and to tell her I’d pay to get the Gibson back. I said I’d pay him, too, for doing that.
“Once I tell her, you got no reason to pay me,” he said.
“That’s true,” I said.
“A twenty ought to take care of it,” he said.
I felt so beat I didn’t argue. I squatted down and lifted my pants leg to get at my sock. The bell rang and a guy in a dirty overcoat and came in and set down a kit bag and started pulling out barber tools. I stood up and the owner took my twenty. I picked up my guitar cases and left.
Walking down the street, freezing, I realized I could take the money I had and buy a coat and a bus ticket and be back in Dallas by midnight or I could stay in Cincinnati and buy a coat and try to find the Gibson. I thought about it three seconds and decided to stay.
I can play guitar pretty well. And I’ve spent twenty years worth of afternoons in libraries killing time before gigs so I know the difference between Augustine of Hippo and all the other Augustines and I know that even if we do come up with a unified field theory it isn’t going to change a damn thing. But other than that, I wouldn’t take my own advice about anything.

I got him to hold the jacket in place and right away he and the injured man started talking, arguing it sounded like. I ran the three blocks to the store where I made a point of buying my coffee every morning because I liked the way the clerk looked. I asked her to call 911.
“Sorry, the phones not public,” she said.
“Are you kidding?” I said.
She shook her head. “Thats the rule.”
“But a guys been knifed or something.”
She hesitated, then looked at her watch, a pink thing the size of a coaster. “My managers due here any minute now and he says you cant let the phone thing get started or peoplell be asking to use it all the time.” She looked over my shoulder. “Could you move, please?”
I stepped over but stayed at the counter and an old black guy in a baseball cap moved up and gave her numbers for a lottery ticket.
“So youre not going to call?” I said.
“No,” she said.
I went outside and picked up the receiver on the pay phone on the side of the building and put it to my ear even though I knew it was dead. I asked two people going into the store if they had cell phonesboth shook their heads, though one had his in a holster on his belt. Then I ran back to the temp service because there wasnt another payphone nearby and I didnt know what else to do.
Purcell was there. He had his headlights directed onto the scene and he stood in their beams next to the injured man and the two Mexicans who were squatting over him. The shorter one, who I could now see was an older man, was crying.
“I cant have this kind of helling going on here,” Purcell was saying.
“Mr. Purcell,” I said.
He jerked his head around and squinted into the headlights. “Hey, whos there?” He recognized me. “So did you see what happened here?”
“No. I just tried to call an ambulance but I couldnt find a phone.”
He waved like he was shooing a fly. “I checked him, he doesnt need one. Itd be a waste of the taxpayers?money. All hes got is a little lard sliced off.” Then he put his hands on his hips and stared down at the man. He had on a white short sleeve shirt and a dark tie; I had never seen him in a coat, no matter the temperature. “Hey,” he said loudly and all three Mexicans looked up at him and he spoke to them in broken Spanish. The tall one holding my jacket answered.
According to Purcells translation: the two Mexicans who had stayed were from the same town in Mexico as the injured man, and the older one was his uncle or cousin or something. Two days ago the tall Mexican had heard that the injured manwho looked at least thirtyhad gotten someones teenage daughter pregnant. The tall Mexican wasnt sure who the girl was, but hed heard thered been a blow up with her father.
“I didnt think there was anybody left who cared about that,” Purcell said. He took out a pack of Juicy Fruit and put a stick in his mouth. He stared down at the man, his face a brown study. I crossed my arms and hugged myself. I was freezing.
“This has implications,” Purcell said.
“We should probably call an ambulance,” I said.
“We might do that,” he said. “But weve got to move him off this property first.”
I didnt say anything, but Purcell jerked his head around like I had.
“Just because this pussel-gut decides to tap some Mexican cheerleader, I should have to pay double and triple on my liability insurance? And as for the police,” he said, “whatd you think: Columbos gonna show up here at dawn?” He pulled a wallet-on-a-chain out of his back pocket and started speaking Spanish again. When he finished all three Mexicans nodded. The old one wiped his eyes with the back of his hand. Then Purcell took out two fifty-dollar bills and handed one to each of the two squatting men. They both spoke to the injured man, patted him on the shoulder, then stood up and left. Purcell bent over the injured man and slipped two bills into his pants pocket. He spoke to him and the man answered. Purcell replied, his voice angry. The man shook his head back and forth on the ground. Purcell started cursing in English. He turned to me, “Sack of shit says he cant get up.”
“Huh,” I said.
Purcell gave the man a little kick in the hip and said something in Spanish. Then he grabbed the mans arm and tried to haul him up. He didnt budge. He was dead weight. Purcell dropped his arm. “All right,” he said, “you get his shoulders and Ill get his legs,” and he stepped around the man to his feet. I didnt move.
He waved. “Come on, lets go.”
“Thats my coat there,” I pointed.
“Yeah? So?” he said.
“Its ruined,” I said.
His expression deadened as he figured it out, which took about two seconds. He shook his head and cursed again. He took out his wallet and handed over a fifty.
“I need a hundred more,” I said.
If either of us had been smoking the whole block wouldve exploded. “Listen,” he said, “I wouldnt be paying anybody anything if I could speak enough Spanish to make these tacos understand if they dont do what I say Ill tell the police whatever I want. But even though youre a goddamn briar you understand me, dont you?”
“The police might hassle me on your sayso,” I said, “but thats about all they could do. And think about it. If I do end up talking to them, Im such a briar I might let it slip how you run a straight cash business.”
He turned his back to me and started muttering. He stayed that way at least a half-minute. Then he turned back around holding out five twenties. His mouth was very tight.
Lifting the man was like picking up one end of a rowboat full of water, if youve ever done that. We carried him ten yards, rested, then went the last ten yards to the street. Purcell dropped the mans feet and stayed bent over with his hands on his knees, huffing and puffing. He glanced up at me, then unhooked his key ring from his belt and tossed it and it hit the sidewalk right in front of me and I had to do a skip to keep it from hitting my feet. “Move my car up to the trailer,” he said.
I looked at the keys, then at him. “What?” I said.
“Do it, or Ill tell the cops you robbed me.” He took his cell phone out of his back pocket.
“Why do you want me to do it?” I said.
“Just because I do,” he said.
“Forget you,” I said.
“All right,” he said and punched a button on the phone, and thats when I thought of the seven hundred dollars in my socks and how great it would look on a guy without a coat.
The car was a Cadillac in name only. The last time it looked good Eddie Murphy was funny. I slid under the wheel, but didnt close the door so the rooflight would stay on and I could find things. The seat was too far up for me to fit my feet to the pedals, so I reached down to find the lever and my hand hit a bottle under the seat. It was a half-pint of Jack Daniels and all that was empty was the neck. I unscrewed the cap, bent over like Id dropped the keys and took a drink, then sat up again. The glove box was missing its door, a cigar with an inch of dead ash was in the ashtray, a single porno playing card was in the passenger seat, a woman who looked like she was waiting for surgery to begin. I turned the card over: seven of clubs. I bent over and took another drink. I was thinking of the last time I saw my fatherone of these old boats always did that.
I discovered the seat wouldnt move, so I managed to get situated with my legs splayed out on either side of the steering wheel. I shut the door, then pulled the car up in front of the trailer and cut the engine and the lights. I stuck the half-pint down the front of my pants. Then I looked in the rearview mirror: Purcell was still at the curb, under a streetlight, standing over the injured man talking and gesturing. It looked like he was haranguing a corpse.
I leaned over to get at my pants pocket and took out the hundred and fifty and put it on the dash behind the steering wheel. I just couldnt abide the idea of having to think of Purcell everytime I played the Gibson. I wouldve rather seen it in the hands of Campfire Girls.
The pawn shop opened a half-hour before the liquor stores. Id been waiting in a coffee shop across the street. I had the Gibsons empty calfskin case and a Epiphone in its case. I was going to pawn the Epi which would give me the last fifty I needed to get the Gibson back, plus another sixty or seventy. That much would get me to Shreveport, and I figured I knew enough people in Dallas I could find someone whod drive out and get me.
I went in the pawn shop, the bell ringing over my head, and right away I noticed the Gibson wasnt on its stand in the line of guitars that sat on a high shelf in the back. Holding the two cases I suddenly felt like an idiot in a Norman Rockwell painting. The empty one felt light enough to throw through the display window.
The owner was still wearing his pea coat and was at the back of the long shotgun room behind a line of jewelry cases to my left. He came up front.
“Its gone,” he said. “Girl bought it last night not long after you came in.”
I set down the guitar cases.
“She paid cash so I dont know who she was,” he said.
I asked him what she looked like.
“I wouldnt kick her out of bed for eating crackers,” he said.
I kept looking at him. I couldnt believe he had said that. Then he gave a police blotter description of the girlyoung, long brown hair, skinny, pale, wearing jeans and a green jacket, said he wouldnt call her pretty exactly. I asked him, if she came back in, to give her my name and the place where I roomed and to tell her Id pay to get the Gibson back. I said Id pay him, too, for doing that.
“Once I tell her, you got no reason to pay me,” he said.
“Thats true,” I said.
“A twenty ought to take care of it,” he said.
I felt so beat I didnt argue. I squatted down and lifted my pants leg to get at my sock. The bell rang and a guy in a dirty overcoat and came in and set down a kit bag and started pulling out barber tools. I stood up and the owner took my twenty. I picked up my guitar cases and left.
Walking down the street, freezing, I realized I could take the money I had and buy a coat and a bus ticket and be back in Dallas by midnight or I could stay in Cincinnati and buy a coat and try to find the Gibson. I thought about it three seconds and decided to stay.
I can play guitar pretty well. And Ive spent twenty years worth of afternoons in libraries killing time before gigs so I know the difference between Augustine of Hippo and all the other Augustines and I know that even if we do come up with a unified field theory it isnt going to change a damn thing. But other than that, I wouldnt take my own advice about anything.

篇5：“你好，Mr.黎”
“你好，Mr.黎”
这个学期，我们迎来了一位新的英语老师。开学当天，大家对这位新老师甚是期待。英语老师终于来了，也露出了他的“庐山真面目”：一头乌黑的短发，鼻梁上架着一副黑色的眼镜，厚厚的嘴唇，声音清脆响亮，看上去只有三十几岁的样子。他站上讲台，扫视了一下教室，然后说道：“六(4)班的同学们好!我是你们新来是英语老师，我姓黎，大家可以叫我‘Mr. Li’。”他说完后，全班鸦雀无声，也许是被他强大的.气场给震慑到了吧。我疑惑地想：这样一位年轻的教师，能教好我们吗?所谓“路遥知马力，日久见人心”，我现在还不敢妄自揣测，我们只能“骑驴看账本――走着瞧”喽!
第二天上英语课，他一改前一天严肃的样子，变得十分幽默，还制定了两套“规矩”。一是以后我们如果遇到他，都要说一句：“Hello, Mr.黎!”(意思是“您好，黎老师!”)这不禁让我有些难为情，要知道我是出了名的“怕老师”，遇到老师要么就装没看见，要么就绕道走，如今必须得“正面交锋”，可真是伤透了我的脑筋啊!二是一个有趣的小游戏。在课堂上，如果他说“一”，同学们就要停止做一切事情;说“二”，大家就要都看着他;说“三”，就得“smile”――微笑!
这还真有趣!不一会儿，他就真的实行起来了。“一――二――三”“呵呵……”底下传来了男生们的笑声，老师一脸正经地说道：“记住，是微笑，不是傻笑!”这话可把同学们逗乐了，都哈哈大笑起来。
这天，我在操场上遇到了黎老师，本想和往常一样视而不见，可脑中却突然浮现出了老师的话。我没办法，只好大着胆子走上前去问好，但由于紧张过度却说成了：“您好，Mr.黎!”我立刻意识到自己的错误，脸“唰”地红了，不敢抬头看他，老师似乎也看出了我的心思，忙笑着说：“你好，这位同学，首先，我很高兴你遵守了我们之间的约定，其次，这种‘Chinese English’――中文式英语，可是不提倡的哟!”我一边答应，一边慢慢离开他，直到他消失在我的视线内，才舒了一口气。
后来在上英语课时，他有意让我回答问题，想锻炼我的胆量。起初，我结结巴巴，声音小得只有自己听得见，渐渐地，我能准确流畅地说出一连串的英语单词，甚至会主动举手回答问题。当我看着那试卷上的“100分”时，我心里最感谢的就是黎老师了!
我真喜欢我们这位幽默风趣的英语老师。
篇6：Mr. Will 畅想“将来”
作者：心田
Hi!大家好！我是Mr. Will, 表示在将来某个时间里将要发生的动作或存在的状态。想和我一起畅想“将来”吗？请关注：
1. 我的基本情况
我是助动词的一员，没有人称和数的变化，适用于一切人称，我在句子中不能独立作谓语，只能和动词一起合作，并且合作得非常愉快，我身后的动词无论怎么样都用原形。我与主语常缩写成“'ll”形式。如： I'll， You'll， He'll， It'll等等。大家要记住：我的否定形式是：在我的身后加not，我的缩写形式可特殊了：will not缩写为won't，而不是willn't。在疑问句中，我总是身先士卒，站在队伍最前面，简略答语当然是： Yes，主语+will. 或No，主语+won't. 如：
He will go to London tomorrow. 明天他将去伦敦。
-Will they have an English party next week? 他们下周要举行英语晚会吗？
-Yes， they will. 是的，他们将举行。
（No， they won't.不，他们不举行。）
2． 我的搭档
与我连用的时间状语很多，常见的有：（1）tomorrow 类： tomorrow， tomorrow morning / afternoon / evening， the day after tomorrow等等。（2）next 类： next week / month / year /... （3）其它类： in a day， for a month 等等。如：
We will stay in London for a few months. 我们将在伦敦呆几个月。
What will you do the day after tomorrow? 后天你干什么？
He'll be back in an hour. 他一小时后回来。
