One evening，Robert was on his way home from the railway station．When he turned round  a corner．he heard footsteps behind him and he thought someone was coming near．He began to walk faster．The footsteps became faster，too．He slowed down．The footsteps also slowed down．Now he was sure that someone must be going after him．He tried to hide．Still the steps followed him．He didn't know how to save himself, so he jumped over some tall grass and found himself in a cemetery(墓地)．He threw himself down on one of the tombs(墳?zāi)?/span>)．

    The man behind came near．Robert could hear the man jump over the grass．Thoughts of thieves or murderers(兇手)filled his mind．Robert stood up and faced the man，“What do you want?”he asked．“Why are you coming after me?”

   “I say，”the stranger asked．”Do you always go home like this，or take some special exercise tonight? I want to go to Mr. Brown’s and don’t know the way．The station master told me to follow you as you live next door．Excuse me for asking，but is there much further to go before we get there?”
