"You see," he said, "these letters are childish and vicious, but sooner or later one of them is going to hit a fatal wound in someone's heart, and then God knows what will happen, and I'm afraid those dull, suspicious, uneducated people may have a bad reaction. As long as they see it in black and white, they think it's true, and all the trouble will arise. "It's not a good letter," I thought for a moment. "I think it was written by someone with little education." "Oh?"? Is it? ' Owen said and left. Afterwards, when I thought about his "really?" At that time, I felt quite confused. ※ ※ ※ I don't want to pretend that the anonymous letter didn't upset me in any way, but it did. But it wasn't long before I forgot about it. You see, I didn't take the letter very seriously at the time. I remember telling myself that maybe it happens all the time in a remote village like this. The person who wrote the letter may be a neurotic and dreamy woman. In any case, it wouldn't hurt if all the anonymous letters were as childish and ridiculous as the one we received. The second "accident"-if you can call it that-happened about a week later. Patricia pouted unhappily and told me that Beatrice, the girl who came to help every day, could not come that day. "I guess, sir,eye cream packaging tube," said Patricia, "she must be feeling very ill." I wasn't sure what Patricia was referring to, but I figured it was a stomachache or something, so I told her, "I'm sorry and I hope she gets better soon." "She's very well, sir," said Patricia. "It's not well." "Oh?" I said in a confused tone. "Because she got a letter,cosmetic tube," Patricia said. "It implied something." Patricia's serious eyes made me realize that the letter must have something to do with me. To tell you the truth, if I had met Beatrice in the street, I would not have recognized her, because I was a stranger to her, so I felt very unhappy at that time. A man like me, who has difficulty in moving and has to walk on two crutches, has no spirit to cheat the feelings of the girls in the town. "What a bore!" I said angrily. "That's what I told her mother," Patricia said. " 'As long as I'm in charge of this family, this will never happen. As for Beatrice, 'I said,' girls are not the same as they used to be. If she goes anywhere else, I can't promise anything. ' But the fact is, sir, that Beatrice's friend who works in the garage has received a dirty letter like this, pump tube ,empty lotion tubes, and he's acting very irrationally. "I've never heard anything so ridiculous in my life." I said angrily. "I don't think, sir," said Patricia, "she'll ever come to help us again.". I mean, she wouldn't have been so angry if she wasn't worried about something to show her cards to others. I have long said that there is no smoke without fire. At that time, I didn't expect that I would hate this idiom so much in the future. That morning, I went for a walk in the town. The sun is shining and the air is fresh and lively, with the sweet smell of spring. I picked up my crutches, firmly refused Joanna's company, and began to travel alone. But we agreed that she would drive into town and pick me up for lunch about the time she got there. In that case, you should be able to spend the day talking to everyone in Linstak. "I'm sure," I said, "I'll have seen everyone in town by then." The street in the morning is the place where people who go shopping meet and exchange news. But I couldn't walk down the street by myself. Two hundred yards or so into the journey, a bicycle bell rang and braked behind it, and Megan Hunter jumped, somewhat recklessly, out of it. He fell to the ground beside me. Hi! She stood up and patted the dust on her body as she greeted me. I like Megan very much, and I've always felt a little sorry for her. She is the stepdaughter of the Symington attorney and the daughter of Mrs. Symington's former husband. Mr Hunter (or the captain) is rarely mentioned, perhaps because people prefer to forget him. It is said that he treated Mrs. Symington so badly that she divorced him after a year or two of marriage. She was able to make a living on her own, settling with her young daughter in Linstak, where she eventually married Richard Symington, the only eligible bachelor in the area. 。 They had two boys after their marriage, and their parents loved them very much. I sometimes think that Megan must occasionally feel out of place in the house. She was not at all like her mother, who was small and spiritless, and who spoke in a weak, melancholy voice of the servants' difficulties and of her own health. Megan was a tall, clumsy girl who, although she was actually twenty years old, looked like a sixteen-year-old schoolgirl, with ragged brown hair, light brown eyes, a thin face, and a cute smile. Her clothes are sloppy and unattractive, and she often wears twine stockings with holes in them. It struck me this morning that she was more like a horse than a person. In fact, with a little brushing, she must be a very good horse. "I've been out on the farm-you know, Rachel's farm-to see if they have any duck eggs," she said to me, as usual, in that breathless hurry. They have a lot of piglets recently. They are so cute! Do you like pigs? I love it. I love the smell of them. "If you take good care of it, the pig shouldn't stink." I say Is it? But all the pigs around here stink. Are you going to walk to the town? I saw that you were alone, so I wanted to stop and walk with you, but I stopped in a hurry. "You've torn your socks." I say. Megan looked at her right leg with a regretful expression and said,cosmetic tube packaging, "Yeah, but there were two holes anyway. It doesn't matter much, does it?" Don't you ever darn your socks? Megan. 。 emptycosmetictubes.com
