阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

"My aunt will come down soon, Mr. Nuttel," said a young lady of fifteen.

whether this visit would do much towards helping with his nerve problem.

"Here they are at last!" she suddenly cried. In the deepening dusk out came three

figures with a tired brown spaniel(猎犬). And then a young voice rang out of the dusk,

"I said, Bertie, why do you bound?"

Framton grabbed wildly at his stick and hat, without a word of goodbye, and rushed
