organized by the Red Cross. I was invited as a special g{#blank#}1{#/blank#}to attend the exhibition. During this period,

of encouragement n {#blank#}7{#/blank#},
and signed my name. The girl read my signature, frowned (皱眉), looked at me carefully and asked, "Aren't you Robert Charboss?"

you are, don't think highly of yourself.
