He went into the kitchen, and his mother and two sisters were doing some washing there. He said to them, “The new trousers are too long. They need cutting by two inches. Would one of you mind doing this for me?” His mother and sisters were busy and none of them said anything.

Azalea Adair led me into her living room.A damaged table,three chairs and an old red sofa were in the center of the floor.
Azalea Adair and I sat down at the table and began to talk.I told her about the magazine's offer an she told me about herself.She was from an old southern family.Her father had been a judge.
Azalea Adair told me she had never traveled or even attended school.Her parents taught her at home with private teachers.We finished our meeting.I promised to return with the agreement the next day, and rose to leave.
At that moment,someone knocked at the back door.Azalea Adair whispered a soft apology and went to answer the caller.She came back a minute later with bright eyes and pink cheeks.She looked ten year younger.“You must have a cup of tea before you go,”she said.She shook a little bell on the table,and small black girl about twelve years old ran into the room.
Azalea Adair opened a tiny old purse and took out a dollar bill.It had been fixed with a piece of blue paper and the upper right hand comer was missing.It was the dollar I had given to Uncle Caesar.“Go to Mr.Baker's store,Impy ,”she said,“and get me 25 cents' worth of tea and ten cents' worth of sugar cakes. And please hurry.”
The child ran out of the room.We heard the back door close.Then the girl screamed.Her cry mixed with a man's angry voice.Azalea Adair stood up.Her face showed no emotion as she left the room.I heard the man's rough voice and her gentle one.Then a door slammed and she came back into the room.“I am sorry,but I won't be able to offer you any tea after all,” she said.“It seems that Mr.Baker has no more tea.Perhaps he will find some for our visit tomorrow.”
We said good-bye.I went back to my hotel.
Just before dinner, Major Wentworth Caswell found me.It was impossible to avoid him.He insisted on buying me a drink and pulled two one-dollar bills from his pocket.Again I saw a torn dollar fixed with blue paper, with a corner missing.It was the one I gave Uncle Caesar.How strange,I thought.

Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do; once or twice she had looked into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, “and what is the use of the book,” thought Alice, “without pictures and conversations?”
So she was considering in her own mind whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain(雏菊花环) would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a white rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.
There was nothing so very remarkable in that; but when the rabbit actually took a watch out of its waistcoat-pocket, and looked at it, and then hurried on, Alice started to her feet, for it flashed across her mind that she had never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket, or a watch to take out of it, and burning with curiosity, she ran across the field after it, and fortunately was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit- hole under the bush.
The rabbit-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then dipped suddenly down, so suddenly that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping herself before she found herself falling down a very deep well.
Down, down, down. Would the fall never come to an end? “I wonder how many miles I’ve fallen by this time?” she said aloud. “I must be getting somewhere near the centre of the earth. Let me see: that would be four thousand miles down, I think. I wonder if I shall fall right through the earth! How funny it’ll seem to come out among the people that walk with their heads downward! The Antipathies, I think—but I shall have to ask them what the name of the country is, you know. ‘Please, Ma’am, is this New Zealand or Australia?’ And what an ignorant little girl she’ll think me for asking! No, it’ll never do to ask.”
Down, down, down. There was nothing else to do, when suddenly, thump! thump! Down she came upon a heap of sticks and dry leaves, and the fall was over.
