我们过了江，进了车站。我买票，他忙着照看行李。行李太多了，得向脚夫行些小费，才可过去。他便又忙着和他们讲价钱。我那时真是聪明过分，总觉他说话不大漂亮，非自己插嘴不可。但他终于讲定了价钱；就送我上车。他给我拣定了靠车门的一张椅子；我将他给我做的紫毛大衣铺好坐位。

We crossed the river and got into the station. I bought the tickets, while he watched over the luggage. There was just too much luggage. We had to give the porter a tip in order to pass. So my dad began bargaining with them to fix a price. I really was full of it then, I thought my father making a fool of himself and I just couldn't help but jump in. Yet, he eventually fixed a price and helped me board the train. He had selected a seat by the door for me and I spread the purple fur coat he had handmade for me on the seat.

He told me to take care of myself on the way, to be alert at night, to not catch a cold. Yet again he told the waiter to look after me.I laughed at his silliness in my heart because those people cared only for money; and it was useless to ask a favor from them. Besides, is someone my age unable to look after myself? Now I think back, I really was smug and self assured.
