　　I’ve been working for Mrs．E one day a week for several months and I notice that she has some peculiar(古怪的)ways．Well, there was only one thing that really 　　1　　 me and that was her pocketbook habit．Not those little books, I mean her purse－her 　　2　　．

　　She’s got a pocketbook with two long straps(皮带)on it and whenever I’d go there, she’d be propped up(坐直)in a chair with her handbag double wrapped 　　3　　 around her wrist, and from room to room she’d walk with that purse 　　4　　．This happens every time! And there’s nobody there 　　5　　 her and me．I can say　　6　　to her! It’s her purse, and she can hold onto it if she wants to!

　　I held my 　　7　　 for months, trying to 　　8　　 how I’d make my point．Well, bless Bess! Today is the day! I was 　　9　　 to go home when she stepped in the room 　　10　　 her bag as usual and said, “Mildred, will you ask the super(管理员)to 　　11　　 and fix the kitchen tap?” “Yes, Mrs．E…”I said, “as soon as I leave．”“Oh, no,” she says, “he may be gone 　　12　　 then．Please go now．”“All right,” I said, and 　　13　　 I went, still wearing ring my apron(围裙)．

　　I just went down the hall and 　　14　　 a few minutes, and then I rushed back to the door and knocked on it as 　　15　　 as I could．She flung open(猛开)the door saying, “What’s the matter? Did you see the super?” “No,” I said, gasping(喘气)hard for breath, “I was almost downstairs when I remembered…I 　　16　　．”

　　With that I dashed in, grabbed 　　17　　 and then went down to get the super! Later, when I was leaving, she said really 　　18　　,“Mildred, I hope that you don’t think I 　　19　　 you because…”“That’s all right, Mrs．E, I understand．Because if I paid anybody 　　20　　 you pay me, I’d hold my pocketbook too!”
