WhenGracegoeslookingfortheTraverses’summerhouse,intheOttawaValley,ithasbeenmanyyearss... When Grace goes looking for the Traverses’ summer house, in the Ottawa Valley, it has been many years since she was in that part of the country. And, of course, things have changed. Highway 7 now avoids towns that it used to go right through, and it goes straight in places where, as she remembers, there used to be curves. This part of the Canadian Shield has many small lakes, which most maps have no room to identify. Even when she locates Sabot Lake, or thinks she has, there seem to be too many roads leading into it from the county road, and then, when she chooses one, too many paved roads crossing it, all with names that she does not recall. In fact, there were no street names when she was here, more than forty years ago. There was no pavement, either—just one dirt road running toward the lake, then another running rather haphazardly along the lake’s edge.
Now there is a village. Or perhaps it’s a suburb, because she does not see a post office or even the most unpromising convenience store. The settlement lies four or five streets deep along the lake, with houses strung close together on small lots. Some of them are undoubtedly summer places—the windows already boarded up, as they always were for the winter. But many others show all the signs of year-round habitation—habitation, in many cases, by people who have filled the yards with plastic gym sets and outdoor grills and training bikes and motorcycles and picnic tables, where some of them sit now having lunch or beer on this warm September day. There are other people, not so visible—students, maybe, or old hippies living alone—who have put up flags or sheets of tinfoil for curtains. Small, mostly decent, cheap houses, some fixed to withstand the winter and some not.

当恩典去找了家,夏季横渡峡谷,在渥太华已经很多年以来,她就在那个地区。当然,事情已经发生了变化。7现在避免城镇的高速公路上,它用来顺利通过,它一直都在,她回忆的地方,那里曾是曲线。这部分的加拿大地盾有许多小湖泊,大部份的地图都不确定。甚至当她位于湖畔,或以为她呈,似乎太多领先进入它的道路交通,然后,当她选择一个,太多的铺设道路交叉口,所有的名字,她不召回。事实上,没有街道名称时,她就在这里,超过40年前的事了。没有人行道,either-just一个泥泞的路上跑,对湖水,然后再运行相当地沿着湖的边缘。
现在有一个村庄。或许是一个郊区,因为她没有看见邮局或甚至最迷茫便利店。清算谎言四个或五个街道深沿着湖,小房子串紧密。他们中的一些人无疑是夏天places-the窗户已经登上了起来,因为他们总是被过冬。但是很多人都habitation-habitation全年的迹象,在许多情况下,通过人们的体育台,用塑料码的户外烧烤和训练自行车、摩托车和野餐桌,他们中的一些人坐在现在吃午饭或啤酒在这个温暖的九月的日子。还有其他的人,而不是那么visible-students,也许,或老嬉皮士生活alone-who挂国旗或表的锡箔纸,窗帘。小正派、廉价房屋,一定能够承受的冬季和一些不是。
