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  36 . “You sold me a ticket  37  May 22nd, but there was no ship from Jersey that night. So my daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It  38  me $12.”

Harry was  39 . He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. “Come into the office, Madam,” he said politely. “I’ll just  40  the Jersey timetable for May 22nd.” The woman and her little girl followed him  41 . She was  42  right, as Harry soon discovered, there was no  43  on May 22nd. How could he have  44  such a careless mistake? He shouldn’t have sold her a ticket for that day. Wondering  45  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  46 . And I can swim too!”  “That’s fine,” said Harry. “My little girl can’t  47  a bit yet. Of course, she’s only three…” “I’m four,” the child said proudly. “I’ll be four and a half.”

Harry  48  the mother. “I remember your  49 , Madam.” he said. “But you didn’t get  50 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  51  have a ticket, Madam. A child’s return ticket to Jersey costs…, let me see… $13. So  52  the railway pays your hotel, you will  53  $1. The law is the law, but since the  54  was mine…”
