Once Alec declared that on Sunday we were going skiing. "We stick/stay at home too much," he said. "Why not ski some ten or fifteen kilometers in the forest/through the forest (woods)? It won't take us much time, and we'll feel fine all week/the whole week."
When I came to the railway station right on time/exactly on time, I saw several/some people on the platform (who were) waiting for the train, but Alec was not among them.
"Who knows what might/may/could have delayed/detained him," I thought and decided to wait a little/a bit.
The wind was chilling/piercing me to the bones/to the marrow and soon I began to give way to my temper/anger (and soon I began to seethe). "Who is he that I should wait for him?"
But just the moment I was about to leave/was on the point of leaving Alec turned up/showed up, ten minutes late and began to explain rather incoherently/inarticulately/about the clock he had forgotten to wind (up).
I gave way to my temper (to irritation) and gave him a piece of my mind. After all, I am not (one) to be treated like that.
Still we did go, but both of us were out of spirits (in low spirits)/but neither of us was any longer in the mood/but we had both been put out of humour/both our spirits had sunk.
When we got off the train at a small station, we went to the forest: I led the way (I went first) and Alec brought up the rear/followed me. He told me that way I wouldn't be able to lag/fall/drop behind (I wouldn't have a chance of lagging/ falling/dropping behind).
It had been snowing all night, and there was no ski-track yet (and no ski-track had been made/laid yet). It was difficult for me (It cost ma quite an effort) to lead the way, so I said "Why not change places/swop round? It won't cost you so much effort to lead the way, after all you are a good skier."
But Alec refused/didn't want to/wouldn't agree. "He has done it out of sheer malice," I thought. But when a few minutes later I looked back/looked over my shoulder, I saw to my utter astonishment/to my great amazement that he was trailing (dragging himself along) somewhere behind, evidently unable to keep pace with me.
Everything was clear now: he just couldn't ski. I wished to God that I had not gone with him (I was very sorry that I had gone with him). The point wasn't that (It wasn't because) he had proved/turned out (to be) a bad skier. He was a Her and a braggart/boaster. And that was something I could not put up with.c
