Revision, p. 31

1. Molly had already been out of work for six months. She had lost all hope of finding anything suitable when she was offered the post of (a) teacher (a post as-(a) teacher) in a small village school. Molly accepted the offer without the slightest hesitation and the next day she went to the village. There was nobody to see her off at the station, so she got on the train at once and sat down by a window.

2. When Molly got off the train, she saw that nobody was waiting for her at.the station. "Mr. Whiteside must have forgotten about me," she thought. She wished

she had sent him a telegram. It would have saved her a lot of trouble. Now there was nothing she could do but go to the village school alone.

3. Suddenly a young man came over to Molly and asked if he could help her in any way. Molly had no intention of getting into conversation with a stranger, but there was something so kind and sincere about him that she couldn't help telling him about her troubles. The young man offered to drive Molly to Mr. Whiteside's place. After some hesitation Molly agreed.

4. As Molly approached Mr. Whiteside's house, she grew more and more nervous. She was afraid of making a poor impression on him. For quite a while she stood in front of his door, but then pulled herself together and rang the bell. A tall elderly woman opened the door. It was Mrs. "Whiteside. She showed Molly into her husband's study and introduced her.

5. Mr. Whiteside rose to shake hands with Molly. "Sit down, please," he said. Molly saw a bright watchful face and dark lively eyes. His voice sounded gentle. Mr. Whiteside saw that the girl was scared (was Very frightened) and he couldn't help sympathizing with her. He wished he could cheer her up, but he did not know how to do it. "Miss Morgan," he said at last, "tell me about yourself."

6. "Our family was very poor," Molly began timidly. "We could hardly make both ends meet. When Mother died, we had no money at all. A rich lady offered me a living-in job in her house as a servant. I worked practically for nothing, just for a place to sleep and eat, but I was able to attend classes in the evening. I dreamed of becoming a teacher. Whatever job I did, I used to say to myself, 'One day I'm going to be a teacher.' "

7. "It took me a long time to find a job after graduating from college." Molly checked herself, looked at Mr. Whiteside and asked in a low voice, "You'll take me on, won't you?" - "Certainly, Miss Morgan. We'll take you on. And now go and have a rest. You must be tired." Molly didn't expect to be dismissed so soon. She got up irresolutely and went to the door.
