Having returned from her round trip, the angry woman stood outside the ticket office of the station. “The railway owes (欠债) me $12.” she said to Harry Jenks, the young man working at the   46 . “You sold me a ticket  47  May 22nd, but there was no ship from Jersey that night. So my daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It  48  me $12.”

Harry was  49 . He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. “Come into the office, Madam,” he said politely. “I’ll just  50  the Jersey timetable for May 22 nd.” The woman and her little girl followed him  51 . She was  52  right, as Harry soon discovered, there was no  53  on May 22 nd. How could he have  54  such a careless mistake? He shouldn’t have sold her a ticket for that day. Wondering  55  to do, he smiled at the child. “You look sunburned,” he said to her. “Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey?”

“Yes,” she answered, shyly. “The beach was  56 . And I can swim too!”  “That’s fine,” said Harry. “My little girl can’t  57  a bit yet. Of course, she’s only three…”

“I’m four,” the child said proudly. “I’ll be four and a half.”

Harry  58  the mother. “I remember your  59 , Madam.” he said. “But you didn’t get  60 for your daughter, did you?” “Er, well,” the woman looked at the child. “I mean, she hasn’t started school yet. She’s only four.”

“A four-year-old child  61  have a ticket, Madam. A child’s return ticket to Jersey costs…, let me see… $13. So  62  the railway pays your hotel, you will  63  $1. The law is the law, but since the  64  was mine…”

The woman stood up,  65  the child’s hand and left the office.
