I
Martin looked quickly up the street and down to make sure that nobody
was watching him, then he turned round, pushed open the door of the
jeweller's shop and walked smartly up to the man who was standing behind the
counter.
He had been passing this shop for many months, because it was near
Jillian's *flat. But he had only been looking in the window for a few days.
Once he and Jillian had started to talk about getting married, he knew he ought
to buy her an engagement ring. So he had been window-shopping in all the
jewellers' shops he could find. But since he had seen one particular ring in the
shop nearest Jillian's flat, he had not been thinking seriously about any others.
This,/ Martin decided,/ was the ring for Jillian. And so he had gone into the
shop to see it more( a ).
“I've been looking at a lot of rings lately," he told the assistant, “but I'm
sure this is the one for my young lady. Yes, she ought to like it," he said,
looking at the price ticket. The man behind the counter smiled.
“T'm sure she will, sir. But if the size isn't right, or if she wants to change
it, please bring it back."
At half past ten that night Martin found himself walking in the rain
towards Jillian's flat. At his side were Jillian and Philippa, talking noisily. But
Martin was (b ). He had turned the collar of his raincoat up and had
pushed his hands deep into his pockets. In his right hand was a little square

box; in the box was the engagement ring.
Why, he thought, had things gone wrong, as usual? He had-been looking
forward to this evening. Since_he had bought the ring /he had been thinking
only about the best time and the best place to put it gently_on Jillian's finger.
He had been making up fomántic things to say, He had been thinking about
romantic places to say them/ But Jillian had asked to go out for a walk. There
was something she had been wanting to show him, she said. Then it had
started to rain and they had met Philippa. So now they were all going home.
Suddenly Jillian said, “We'll see you at the flat, Philippa. This way Martin.
This is what I've been wanting to show you." And as Philippa left them, Jillian
stopped in front of the jeweller's shop where Martin had bought the ring
earlier in the day. Then, for a moment, she was silent. “It's gone," she said in
a small voice. “Martin, I've been looking at engagement rings since the other
day. And I've been thinking particularly about one I saw in this window. But
it's gone." She turned away from him as she burst out crying. “T'm sorry,
Martin," she said, “lend me your handkerchief, please."
Martin brought his hand out of his raincoat pocket. "Is this what you've
been looking at?” he asked, opening the little square box. The ring shone in
the rain.
“We had both been looking in the same shop,” he said.
“We'd both been looking at the same( c )," she answered.
“And I've been carrying it about in my pocket since this afternoon,"
Martin said, as he put it on her finger, ““waiting for the right moment to give
you it.”
“You ought to cry more often," he said, when he had kissed her. "It
makes you look pretty."
She laughed. “I promise I'll cry whenever you buy me a ring." And they
both laughed.
