19.Last week the manager of an old jeweler's shop received a letter marked"personal",so of course his secretary gave it to him unopened.As he was very busy,the letter lay on his desk till tea-time.Then he opened it and a£10note fell out onto his desk.With the note was a short letter.This is what it said:Dear sir,
In 1935I got engaged.But unfortunately at that time there was a lot of unemployment and I lost my job.I was six months without a job and then I got work again.But of course was very short of money.I came to your shop to buy a wedding ring.The assistant brought some rings for me to look at,but she was called away for a moment,and I put one of the rings in my pocket.When she came back,I said I did not know the size of my girl-friend's finger.So I left the shop without buying a ring.
My wife died a short while ago and the fact that I never paid for her ring has been on my conscience (良心) all these years.At the time the ring cost£2so I reckon (估计) that is about£10at today's price.And I am sending you that amount.
Yours truly,
A customer
"Well,well,well,"said the manager,"life is full of surprises!"
