Lesson 15 Good news

The secretary told me that the Mr.Harmsworth would see me.

I felt very nervous when I went into his office.

He did not look up from his desk when I entered.

After I had seat down he said that business was so bad.

He told that the firm could not afford to pay such large salaries. Twenty people had already left.

I knew that my turn had come.

Mr. Harmsworth, I said in a weak voice.

Don't interrupt he said

Then he smiled and told me I would receive an extra thousand pounds a year!
