爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
The eventful evening, however, was not yet over. Edward had boarded a Broadway stage to take him to his Brooklyn home when, glancing at the newspaper of a man sitting next to him, he saw the headline: "Jefferson Davis arrives in New York." He read enough to see that the Confederate President was stopping at the Metropolitan Hotel, in lower Broadway, and as he looked out of the stage-window the sign "Metropolitan Hotel" stared him in the face. In a moment he was out of the stage; he wrote a little note, asked the clerk to send it to Mr. Davis, and within five minutes was talking to the Confederate President and telling of his remarkable evening.

白话
那个多事的夜晚还没结束。博克坐上百老汇的公共马车回布鲁克林的家，瞥见邻座报纸标题：‘杰斐逊·戴维斯抵达纽约’。他读了几行，得知这位南方邦联总统住在下百老汇的大都会酒店，而车窗外正好闪过‘大都会酒店’的招牌。他立刻下车，写了张便条请职员转交，五分钟内就和戴维斯先生交谈起来，讲述自己奇妙的夜晚。这显示，机会常出现在偶然一瞥中，关键是要敏锐察觉并立即行动，别让犹豫错过窗口。
