One evening, long after most people had gone to bed, a friend of mine and I         happily home through the          street. We had been to a music-hall and         about the people we had seen and heard in it.

“The show        him a star overnight, ” said my friend about one of them. “He was completely        before. And now thousands of people         him gifts and letters. ” “I thought him quite good, ”  I said , “ but not         thousands of letters . As a matter of       , one of his songs gave me a shock. It was too noisy. ” “What was that?” my friend asked me, “       it to me .” I began to sing. “Do be quiet. You will give everybody a shock and        them up for miles       , besides, there will be a policeman         us. ” My friend gave me a surprised look.

“Never mind. I don’t care. What is the matter?” I said and went on singing        the top of my voice .

Suddenly there came a policeman,       in front of me , his notebook       . “      , sir ,” he said , “You have a very good voice , if I       say so . Who taught you singing? I’d very much       to find someone who can give my daughter singing lessons. Would you be       to tell me your name and address? Then my wife and I would        you and we could discuss it .”
