The Present.①

Two years ago that was, and since then Myra had been to see her mother three times, but her husband never.
The old lady was eighty today. She had put on her best dress. Perhaps — perhaps Myra might come. After all, eighty was a special birthday, another decade[十年] lived or endured just as you chose to look at it.
Even if Myra did not come, she would send a present. The old lady was sure of that. Two spots of colour brightened[亮] her cheeks[两颊]. She was excited — like a child. She would enjoy her day.
Yesterday Mrs.Morrison had given the flat an extra[额外] clean, and today she had brought a card and a bunch of marigolds when she came to do the breakfast. Mrs.Grant downstairs had made a cake, and in the afternoon she was going down there to tea. The little boy, Johnnie, had been up with a packet of mints, and said he wouldn't go out to play until the post had come.
" I guess you'll get lots and lots of presents," he said. "I did last week when i was six."
When would she like? A pair of slippers perhaps. Or a new cardigan[开衫]. A cardigan would be lovely. Blue's such a pretty colour. Jim had always liked her in blue. Or a table lamp. Or a book, a travel book, with pictures. or a little clock, with clear black numbers. So many lovely things.
