Good News

The secretary told me that Mr Harms worth would see me. I felt very nervous when I went into his office. He did not lok up from his desk when I entered. After I had sat down, he said that business was very bad. He told me that the firm could not afford to pay such large salaries. Twenty people had already left. I knew that my turn had come.
      'Mr Harmsworth,' I said in a weak voice.
      'Don't interrupt,'he said.
      Then he smiled and told me I would receive an extra 100 dollars a year!
