新概念英语第三册模仿翻译 第19课：一条贵重的宝
贝猫

Kidnappers are rarely interested in animals, but they
recently took considerable interest in Mrs. Eleanor Ramsay's
cat. Mrs. Eleanor Ramsay, a very wealthy old lady, has shared
a flat with her cat, Rastus, for a great many years. Rastus
leads an orderly life. He usually takes a short walk in the
evenings and is always home by seven o'clock. One evening,
however, he failed to arrive. Mrs. Ramsay got very worried.
She looked everywhere for him but could not find him.

There days after Rastus' disappearance, Mrs. Ramsay
received an anonymous letter. The writer stated that Rastus
was in safe hands and would be returned immediately if Mrs.
Ramsay paid a ransom of $$1,000. Mrs. Ramsay was instructed to
place the money in a cardboard box and to leave it outside
her door. At first she decided to go to the police, but
fearing that she would never see Rastus again -- the letter
had made that quite clear -- she changed her mind. She
withdrew $$1000 from her bank and followed the kidnapper's
instructions. The next morning, the box had disappeared but
Mrs. Ramsay was sure that the kidnapper would keep his word.
Sure enough, Rastus arrived punctually at seven o'clock that
evening. He looked very well though he was rather thirsty,
for he drank half a bottle of milk. The police were astounded
when Mrs. Ramsay told them what she had done. She explained
that Rastus was very dear to her. Considering the amount she
paid, he was dear in more ways than one!1.足球比赛才刚刚开始
