question: CHAPTER XXVII

A LEMON

That bulwark of _Peaceful Moments_, Pugsy Maloney, was rather the man of action than the man of tact. Otherwise, when, a moment later, he thrust his head up through the trap, he would have withdrawn delicately, and not split the silence with a raucous "Hey!" which acted on John and Betty like an electric shock.

John glowered at him. Betty was pink, but composed. Pugsy climbed leisurely on to the roof, and surveyed the group.

"Why, hello!" he said, as he saw Betty more closely.

"Well, Pugsy," said Betty. "How are you?"

John turned in surprise.

"Do you know Pugsy?"

Betty looked at him, puzzled.

"Why, of course I do."

"Sure," said Pugsy. "Miss Brown was stenographer on de poiper till she beat it."

"Miss Brown!"

There was utter bewilderment in John's face.

"I changed my name when I went to _Peaceful Moments_."

"Then are you--did you--?"

"Yes, I wrote those articles. That's how I happen to be here now. I come down every day and help look after the babies. Poor little souls, there seems to be nobody else here who has time to do it. It's dreadful. Some of them--you wouldn't believe--I don't think they could ever have had a real bath in their lives."

"Baths is foolishness," commented Master Maloney austerely, eying the scoured infants with a touch of disfavor.

John was reminded of a second mystery that needed solution.

"How on earth did you get up here, Pugsy?" he asked. "How did you get past Sam?"

London (CNN) -- When Andy Murray won the Brisbane International, a warmup event for January's Australian Open, few were surprised.

But what followed was largely out of character for a man who is perceived as one of the more dour characters in the world of sport.

After winning the final, Murray turned towards the television cameras and showed a side of himself that had so rarely been seen.

"I'd like to dedicate this victory to one of my best friends," the British tennis star told the crowd. "He's back home watching and you're going to get through."

Thousands of miles away in London, Murray's former roommate Ross Hutchins sat facing the prospect of six months of grueling chemotherapy after being diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma -- a cancer of the lymph node immune system.

Friends since their early years and former doubles partners, the two were inseparable on and off the court, with both taking time to tease one another about their receding hairlines.

But not even Hutchins, who has seen a side of Murray that few others have caught a glimpse of, expected such a gesture.

"I didn't expect the speech, that's for sure," the Englishman told CNN's Open Court.

"I just expected him to, well I was hoping he would win the title ... we had been very close that week as we always are.

"So I was watching the speech and was thinking how pleased I was he had won, and then he came and dedicated his trophy, which meant the world to me. What are the answers to this following set of questions: 1. What event did Andy Murray win?
2. What event was he going to next?

5. How did they know each other?

input: Make use of the article to answer the questions. One day when Jack was walking in the park, he saw a woman, who lived a few miles away, sitting on a bench with a dog beside her. The dog was looking up at the woman. Jack walked up to the woman and said, "Hello, Sue, how are you? May I sit and talk with you for a while?" "Of course, please sit down," Sue said. Jack sat down next to Sue on the bench, and they talked quietly together. The dog continued to look up at Sue, as if waiting to be fed. "That's a nice dog, isn't he?" Jack said, pointing at the animal. "Yes, he is. He's handsome. He's a bit of a mixture , but that's not a bad thing. He's strong and healthy." "And hungry," Jack said. "He hasn't taken his eyes off you. He thinks you've got some food for him." "That's true," Sue said. "But I haven't." They both laughed and then Jack said, "Does your dog bite?" "No," Sue said, "He's never bitten anyone. He's always gentle and friendly." Hearing this, Jack decided to hold out his hand and touched the animal's head. Suddenly it jumped up and bit him. "Hey!"
