Even if Myra did not come, she would send a present. The old lady was sure of that. Two spots of colour brightened her cheeks. She was excited like a child.
Mrs. Morrison had brought a card and a bunch of flowers when she came to do the breakfast. Mrs. Grant downstairs had made a cake. Johnnie, the little boy next door, was now up with her with a packet of sweets.

She stood by the window, watching. The postman turned round the comer on his bicycle. Her heart beat fast. Johnnie had seen him too and ran to the gate.
"Granny, granny," Johnnie returned. "I've got your post!"
He gave her four envelopes. Three were from old friends. The fourth was in Myra's writing.
"No parcel （包裹）, Johnnie?"
"No, granny."
Almost reluctantly, she tore the fourth envelope open. Folded in the card was a check. Written on the card was a message: Happy Birthday—Buy yourself something nice with the check, Myra and Harold.
The six-figure check fell to the floor like a bird with a broken wing. Slowly the old lad bent to pick it up. Her present, her lovely present. With trembling fingers she tore it into little bits.
