John took over the papers from her shaking hand and seated her in a chair. He remebered her richsufferings in the early days of the Old West. He looked through the papers. “It’s good, Grandma,” he said gently. Then realizing that it’s very good. I’ll send it to a publisher.”
Ten days later, he reported that the publisher had had time to read only a few pages, but he was so impressed (印象深刻的)that he had sent $100 for an option(期权). More money would be given as anadvance(定金). Every month John brought $100 for her with a letter from the publisher telling about the progress of the book.

Grandma held on until the day the book came into her hands with the title and her name on the cover. Though she couldn’t see it, she could touch it. She proudly traced(探察)her name with her fingers, tears in her eyes. Two hours later, she died peacefully, still holdingher book.
