1. Mrs. Jones was very interested in singing. She had a good
, except that some of her high notes tended to sound like a gate, which someone had forgotten to
. Mrs. Jones was very aware of this
, and took every
she could find to practise these high
. As she lived in a small house where she could not practise without
the rest of the family, she usually went for long walks along the country roads whenever she had time, and practised her high notes there. Every time she heard a
or a person coming along the
, she stopped and
until she could no longer be heard before she started practising again, because she was a
person, and because she was sensitive about those high notes.
One afternoon, however, a fast, open car came up behind her so
and so fast that she did not hear it until it was only a few yards from her. She was singing some of her highest and most
notes at the time, and as the car passed her, she saw an anxious
suddenly come over its driver’s face. He put his brakes on violently, and as soon as the car stopped, he jumped out and began to
all his tires carefully.
Mrs. Jones did not dare to tell him what the noise he had heard had really been, so he got back into his car and drove off as
as he had been when he stopped.
