31、ollars coming to you. Take off nine Sundays. you know you didnt work with Tom on Sundays, you only took walks.

33、coughed nervously and blew her nose, but - still not a word.“Around New Years Day you broke a teacup and a saucer; take off two dollars.

34、t; take away ten. Also due to your carelessness the maid stole Dicks shoes. You ought to watch everything! You get paid for it. So, that means five more dollars off.

36、t know that! Take three from fourteen. leaves eleven. Heres your money, my dear. Three, three, three, one and one. Here it is !” I handed her eleven dollars.

Why thismerci？”“In my other places they didnt give me anything at all.”“They didnt give you anything? No wonder! I played a little joke on you, a cruel lesson, just to teach y

38、ou. I m going to give you all the eighty dollars! Here they are in the envelope all ready for you. Is it really possible to be so spineless （懦弱）?Why didnt you protest? Why were you silent?

39、 could read her expression,“It is possible.”I asked her pardon for the cruel lesson and, to her great surprise, gave her the eighty dollars.
