Good news

　　The secretary told me that Mr. Harms worth 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 sat down, he said that business was very bad. He told me that the firm could not afford to pay such large salaries. Twenty people had already left. I knew that my turn had come. 'Mr. Harms worth,' I said in a weak voice.

　　'Don't interrupt,' he said. Then he smiled and told me I would receive an extra &100 a year!

　　秘书告诉我说哈姆斯沃斯先生要见我。我走进他的办公室，感到非常紧张。我进去的时候，他连头也没抬。待我坐下后，他说生意非常不景气。他还告诉我，公司支付不起这么庞大的工资开支，有20个人已经离去。我知道这次该轮到我了。

　　“哈姆斯沃斯先生，”我无力地说。

　　“不要打断我的话，”他说。然后他微笑了一下告诉我说，我每年将得到1000英镑的额外收入。
