Endless Night / Бесконечная ночь. Книга для чтения на английском языке

He said he wouldn’t mind really if he died before the house was finished, but I told him,’ added Ellie, �that he mustn’t die before the house was finished because I wanted him to see us live in it.’

�What did he say to that?’

�He asked me if I knew what I was doing marrying you, and I said of course I did.’

�And then?’

�He said he wondered if you knew what you were doing.’ �I know all right,’ I said.

�He said “You will always know where you’re going, Miss Guteman.

” He said “You’ll be going always where you want to go and because it’s your chosen way.”

�“But Mike,” he said, “might take the wrong road. He hasn’t grown up enough yet to know where he’s going.”

�I said,’ said Ellie, �“He’ll be quite safe with me.”’

She had superb self-confidence. I was angry though at what Santonix had said. He was like my mother. She always seemed to know more about me than I knew myself.

�I know where I’m going,’ I said.

�I’m going the way I want to go and we’re going it together.’
