Lucy sat wondering why it was she could not talk to

While she was bringing in his coffee he sat down
and opened themorning paper. She thought, as she took itup and looked at it, that

He put a letter in his pocket and came back to
thesofa. It was September, and hewas cutting his grapes.

But if you expectpeople to help you, you must tell
