星期三的花
那是一个艰难的春天。我父亲工厂里的工人罢工了，保安驻扎在了厂房周围以保护那些回来上班的工人。家里的事这么不安定，父亲认为我暑假最好待在学校。开始待在学校的想法很令我激动。我正决定早一年读完大学，假期待在学校无疑会帮助我达到我的目标。
然而，随着假期课程的开始，我的胃出了毛病，我得了结肠炎。我被严格限制饮食，只能吃吉露果子冻、米饭和清淡的鸡脯肉。这些比起自助餐厅的饭来还难吃得多。我因吃这些没完没了的清淡的食物而变得虚弱和厌烦。
一个星期三，一束鲜花送到了我们的宿舍，花是送给我的。由于没有附上便条或姓名，所以没办法得知花是谁送来的。只有一张小纸片上面整齐地写着我的名字。我以为是爸爸送给我的，就打电话表示感谢，但却发现不是爸爸送来的。然后我就成了小南希.朱，从朋友那里挖掘信息并重新审视班上的每一位男士，想把这些神秘的事情拼凑起来，找出是谁送的花。这让我恢复了活力。我发现自己在分析每句来自可能的嫌疑者的话并和我的室友讨论这个问题。希望她能帮我找出我的秘密崇拜者。

但花还在一直送来！
六个星期中的每个星期三我都会接到一束花。我那聪明的提问方式没有一点作用，并且我再也没有什么可怀疑的对象了。我的室友和我不再是忸怩的、或
