Peter Fern was mad on mountains. Climbing was the love of his life. Church towers, seaside cliffs, rock faces, ice, mountains, anything--“If it's there,”he used to say,“then I want to climb it.”So the news of his marriage gave me a surprise. I'd never known him to take much interest in girls. Well, Peter Fern, a married man! I couldn't get over it. I wondered whether his wife would try to stop some of his risky adventures.
She was French,perhaps--from that place where he usually spent his holidays.Chamonix, wasn't it?
From Chamonix he's climbed Mont Blanc on his seventeenth birthday,and one of the Aifuilles the day after! That was it, then; she was French, from a family, most of whom like climbing. No doubt. No doubt. No other explanation.
A month ago I met them both in town. Anna surprised me because she was English. She was a dancer in the theatre.“Never climbed more than sixty steps in my life,”she told me.“Peter has his interests, and I've got mine. No problems.”“None at all.”Peter said, smiling.“Where did you spend your honeymoon(蜜月)?”“I flew to New York to see the drake Dancers on Broadway. A wonderful show.”Peter said,“Didn't want to miss the good weather. So I went to Switzerland and climbed the north face of the Eiger with Allen Dunlop. Great fun, the Eiger. Grand place for a honeymoon! I'll show you the photographs we took one day.”

Dog owners now have a little help understanding their furry friends. A new device called Bow-Lingual “translates” dog barks into English, Korea or Japanese.
Bow-Lingual's Japanese inventors spent much time and money-analyzing dog barks. They found that dog noises can be broken down into six different emotions: happiness, sadness, frustration, anger, assertion and desire.
Part of the Bow-Lingual device hangs on the dog's collar. The other part is a handle-held unit for the owner. When the dog barks, the unit displays translated phrases.
Some people have scoffed at Bow-Lingual. “Who would pay US $ 120 to read a dog's mind?” they ask.
But those who have purchased Bow-Lingual praise the device. Pet owner Keiko Egawa, of Japan, says it helps her empathize with her dog, Harry. “Before we go to the par, he always says he wants to play,” says Egawa, “and after a walk, he always says he is hungry.”
Bow-Lingual is riot yet available in Chinese. So you'd better keep studying Studio Classroom, or soon your dog may know more English than you do!
