　　James was then invited to go to New York to help them. He lived in Washington, which is an hour away from New York by air. The plane was going to take off at 8: 30 in the morning. So he had to be at the airport at bout 7:30. He ordered a taxi for 6:30 and went to sleep. He forgot to wind the clock, and it stopped after midnight. Also the driver of the taxi had to work very late that night and he got up very late the next morning.

　　James woke with the feeling that something was wrong. He looked at his clock. It stood there silently with the hands pointing to ten past twelve. He turned on the radio and knew it was ten. He was late for the plane.

　　“My plane,”he said aloud.”If I haven't been late, I'd have been on the plane !”

　　It took George quite a while to find a parking place (停车场) for his car and in the end he had to leave it in a narrow street, some way from the dentist's (牙科诊所). As he got out, he took a look at his watch: his appointment (约定) was at five and he still had twenty minutes to go. He crossed into the square (广场) and sat down on a chair, partly to enjoy the last of the afternoon sun, but also to take a rest. He didn't like these visits to the dentist.
