----------" текст ниже "-------
At about ten - thirty, Aunt Agatha got a telephone call from the bank. " Where is your husband, Mrs Leighton?" asked the bank manager. Aunt Agatha was very much surprised. " Isn't he in the bank?" she asked. " No, he isn't. Wherever he is, he is not certainly in his offce," the bank manager answered. " Nobody has seen him yet. We are going to have a meeting in a quarter of an hour. But unfortunately we can't have it without your husband. He has all the papers." " I don't know what to say," Aunt Agatha tried to be polite. Well, that was it. No news from Uncle Oscar. Life went on. Elizabeth soon married and Julian got a good jod as an engineer. Aunt Agatha took a job in the office and enjoyed it. She saw her childrenat weekends. They seldom spoke about Uncle Oscar. They thought he was dead. I think only one person missed him —- me. We both had one hobby —- collecting stamps. I often thought of my uncle and tried to guess where he could be. Three years passed. And then one October afternoon a letter came. It arrived from Brazil. I was sure I knew no one in Brazil. I opened the envelope. There were some stamps inside. I counted them. There were about fifty stamps there, all Brazilian, nothing more. I turned the envelope over, but there was no return address. I took one of Uncle Oscar's albums of stamps from the shelf and opened it. I wanted to put the new stamps in it. Suddenly my eyes fell on several empty places in the book. The most expensive stamps were gone. Then I understood everything. I smiled. I knew now where Uncle Oscar was. I was sure he missed me, he missed our talks about stamps and collections and he discovered a way to tell me where he was. That was his secret and it will be his secret. I will tell nobody.

Примерно в десять - тридцать, тете Агате позвонили из банка.«Где ваш муж, миссис Лейтон?» - спросил менеджер банка.
Тетя Агата была очень удивлена.
«Разве он не в банке?» спросила она.
«Нет, его нет. Где бы он ни был, но он определенно не в своем кабинете», - ответил менеджер банка.
«Никто его еще не видел. У нас встреча через четверть часа, но, к сожалению, мы не можем провести ее без вашего мужа. У него все документы».
«Я не знаю, что сказать», - старалась быть вежливой тетя Агата.
Ну, вот и все. Никаких новостей от дяди Оскара. Жизнь продолжалась. Элизабет вскоре вышла замуж, а Джулиан получил хорошую работу инженера. Тетя Агата устроилась на работу в офис и наслаждалась ей. Она виделась с детьми по выходным. Они редко говорили о дяде Оскаре. Они думали, что он мертв. Я думаю, только один человек скучал по нему - я. У нас обоих было одно хобби - коллекционирование марок. Я часто думал о моем дяде и пытался угадать, где он может быть. Прошло три года. И вот в один октябрьский день пришло письмо. Оно прибыло из Бразилии. Я был уверен, что никого не знаю в Бразилии. Я открыл конверт. Внутри были несколько марок. Я их пересчитал. Там было около пятидесяти марок, все бразильские, больше ничего. Я перевернул конверт, но обратного адреса не было. Я взял с полки один из альбомов дяди Оскара и открыл его. Я хотел положить в него новые марки. Внезапно мой взгляд упал на несколько пустых мест в альбоме. Самые дорогие марки исчезли. Тогда я все понял. Я улыбнулся. Теперь я знал, где дядя Оскар. Я был уверен, что он скучал по мне, он скучал по нашим разговорам о марках и коллекциях, и он нашел способ сказать мне, где он. Это был его секрет, и это будет его тайной. Я никому не скажу.
