Bond had walked for only a few minutes when it suddenly occurred to him that he was being followed。 There was no evidence for it except a slight headache and a little knowing the people near him but believed in his sixth sense and he at once stopped in front of the shop window he was passing and looked occasionally back along 46th Street。 Nothing but a lot of miscellaneous people moving slowly on the sidewalks； mostly on the same side as himself； the side that was back from the sun。 There was no sudden movement into a doorway； nobody wiping his face with a handkerchief to avoid recognition； nobody bending down to tie a shoelace。
He went on and turned into the Avenue of the Americans’； stopping in the first doorway； the entrance to a woman’s underwear store where a man in a blue suit with his back to him was examining the black lace paints on a particularly realistic…dummy（模型）。
And then something grasped his arm and a voice came； “All right； Limey。 Take it easy unless you want lead for lunch；” and he felt something press into his back just above the kidney。
There was a tap as his fist was caught in the other man’s left hand； and at the same time as the contact telegraphed to Bond’s mind that there could have been no gun； there came the well remembered laugh and the lazy voice saying： “No good； James。 The angles have got you。”
Bond straightened himself slowly and for a moment he could only gaze into the smiling face of Felix Leiter with blank disbelief； his built…up tension （紧张） slowly relaxing。
“So you were doing a front tail； you bastard（王八蛋）；” he finally said。

38。Why did Bond stop in the doorway to the underwear shop？

It doesn’t matter when or how much a person sleeps； but everyone needs some rest to stay alive。 That’s what all doctors thought； until they heard about Al Herpin。 Al Herpin； it was said； never slept。 Could this be true？ The doctors decided to see this strange man themselves。
Al Herpin was 90 years old when the doctors came to his home in New Jersey。 They thought for sure that he got some sleep of some kind。 So they stayed with him and watched every movement he made。 But they were surprised。 Though they watched him hour after hour and day after day； they never saw Herpin sleeping。 In fact； he did not even own a bed。 He never needed one。
The only rest that Herpin sometimes got was sitting in a comfortable chair and reading newspapers。 The doctors were puzzled by this strange continuous sleeplessness。 They found only one answer that might explain his condition。 Herpin remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days before he was born。 But that was all。 Was this the real reason？ No one could be sure。 Herpin died at the age of 94。
