It was midnight in Paris and we were rolling toward the Avenue Bosguet. As we came to the Pont Alexander Ⅲ, the cab slowed down ,for the traffic light was red against us ,and then ,without stopping ,we sailed through the red light in a sudden burst of speed .The same performance was repeated at the Alma Bridge .As I paid the driver ,I asked him why he had driven through two red lights .
“You ought to be ashamed of yourself ,breaking the law and endangering your life that way,”I protested(抗议).
