"My God, what is it?" She looked up at him, bright-eyed."Well, open it."Doris tore the ribbon and paper from the square package with her sharp nails, her bosom rising and falling. Larry stood watching her as she lifted the lid. He lit a cigarette and leaned against the wall."A cuckoo clock!" Doris cried. "A real old cuckoo clock like my mother had." She turned the clock over and over. "Just like my mother had, when Pete was still alive." Her eyes sparkled with tears."It's made in Germany," Larry said. After a moment he ad- ded, "Carl got it for me wholesale. He knows some guy in the clock business. Otherwise I wouldn't have—" He stopped.Doris made a funny little sound."I mean, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to afford it." He scowled. "What's the matter with you? You've got your clock, haven't you? Isn't that what you want?"Doris sat holding onto the clock, her fingers pressed against the brown wood."Well," Larry said, "what's the matter?"He watched in amazement as she leaped up and ran from the room, still clutching the clock. He shook his head. "Never satisfied. They're all that way. Never get enough."He sat down at the table and finished his meal.The cuckoo clock was not very large. It was hand-made, however, and there were countless frets on it, little indentations and ornaments scored in the soft wood. Doris sat on the bed drying her eyes and winding the clock. She set the hands by her wristwatch. Presently she carefully moved the hands to two minutes of ten. She carried the clock over to the dresser and propped it up.Then she sat waiting, her hands twisted together in her lap—waiting for the cuckoo to come out, for the hour to strike. 968重庆之声 每周一至周五8点56分 每天三分钟 养成良好英语听说习惯
