Pulling down my ( 3. ) and turning up my coat （ 4. ), I managed to get on a New York train without anyone ( 5. ) me. Then, fortunately, no one pays any ( 6. ) to anyone else on New York (7. ) . Two blocks from my apartment house, I stopped at the ( 8. ) to buy a newspaper
"There you are. Mr Bruno. I haven't seen you around for a couple of days."
"Ya, I've been busy."
"Hey，you know, I saw your picture （ 9. ) today. You got a story in one of the magazines, maybe?"
"No, no."
"Wait a minute. If I'll remember where I saw your picture, I never ( 10. ) a face."
"T ve got to go now. You can tell me about it tomorrow."
I had to get away before he remembered and ( 11. ) and saw my picture on his papers. At home there were a lot of letters in my ( 12. ). Too many for just one ( 13. ). When I got to the apartment, I looked at them. Two of the letters had been ( 14. ) in New York three days before, it doesn't take three days for letters to be delivered ( 15. ). Where have I been for three days ?
"Who? Who's there?"

"Yesterday morning. He said something about having had a date with you the night before. But you never ( 21. ). "'
"Yesterday morning. Oht oh, yes..."
"What's the matter, Jeff? Don't you feel well?"
“Oh, sure. I feel fine. Rosalee, tell me. Do I ever do anything ( 22. ) ? I mean, do I...well have I ever seemed strange?"
"You mean, are you? Well, you've always seemed very ( 23. ) to me if that's what you mean. ( 24. ) your vanishing acts."
"My what?"
"The times you ( 25.). You don't know?"
"Let me finish it for you. You mean the day when I've awakened thinking it was ( 26. ). Only it turned out to be ( 27. ). You mean I disappeared for a couple of days. Go ( 28. ) else, become ( 29. ) else."
"Oh, I wouldn't have said anything, Jeff. But..."
"Then why don't I remember? I've heard of people going ( 30. ) because they've had too much to drink. But now，maybe it's something different."
"What is...Jeff?"
