I tried to stop him,tried to (47)C him understand that my watch kept perfect time,but he did not listen to me and pushed the regulator.
My beautiful watch began to gain time.It (48)Dfaster and faster day by day.By the end of the second month it(49)Aall the clocks and watches of the town far behind.
What did I have to do?To take it to another watchmaker to be regulated.I expected him to regulate the watch immediately(50)A he asked me to come in a week's time.When at last I took my watch from him it began to(51)D down.And I began to be late for trains,business appointments and even missed my dinners.
Now I went to (52)B watchmaker.While I waited for him to repair my poor watch,he (53)C it to pieces and said that he could finish this work(54)B three or four days.I could do nothing but(55)A.That time my watch went for half a day and then stopped.
So I kept (56)B my watch from one watchmaker to another for a considerable period of time.
And as a result of it the cleverest man in the world could not (57)C the time by my watch.The thing was getting (58)A.My watch had (59)D two hundred dollars originally but I paid for repairs more than two hundred.At last I decided to buy(60)D watch,which I did.
