say he had heard this kind of story many times and asked me to tell him what my case looked like. I told him it
was an old brown-looking object no different 6 the many cases I could see in his office. The assistant then
told me to 7 a list of what was in the case. If it was correct, he said, I could take the case. I tried to remember
all the things I had hurriedly 8 into the case and wrote them down as they came to me.
After I had done this, I went to 9 round the office. There were hundreds of cases there. For one fearful
moment, it came to my mind that if someone had found the receipt he could have easily taken the case already.
This had not happened fortunately, for I found the case 10 in the corner. After examining the.things inside, the
assistant was satisfied that it was mine, and told me I could take it.
