　　There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment,however.Evelyn and I still laugh about it today.On the last night at our cottage,preparing for bed,Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression.

"What's the matter?" I asked her.

"Tom," she said in a voice filled with distress,"I don't?" "What do you mean?"

　　"Well...that checkup I had several weeks ago...our doctor...did he tell you something about me?Tom,you've been so good to me...am I dying?"

It took a moment for it all to be understood.Then I burst out laughing.

"No,honey," I said,wrapping her in my arms."You're not dying;I'm just starting to live."
