　　Lesson 68: Persistent 糾纏不休

　　I crossed the street to avoid meeting him, but he saw me and came running towards me. It was no usepretending that I had not seen him, so I waved to him. I never enjoy meeting Nigel Dykes. He never has anything to do. No matter how busy you are, he always insists on coming with you. I had to think of a way of preventing him from following me around all morning.

　　"Hello, Nigel," I said. "Fancy meeting you here!"

　　"Hi, Elizabeth," Nigel answered. "I was just wondering how to spend the morning -- until I saw you. You're not busy doing anything, are you?"

　　"No, not at all," I answered. "I'm going to..."

　　"Would you mind my coming with you?" he asked, before I had finished speaking.

　　"Not at all," I lied, "but I"m going to the dentist."

　　"Then I'll come with you," he answered. "There's always plenty to read in the waiting room!
