      At exactly eleven Sir Percival knocked and entered, with anxiety and worry in every line of his face.
This meeting would decide his future life, and he obviously knew it.
     "You may wonder, Sir Percival," said Laura calmly, "if I am going to ask to be released (免除) from
ray promise to marry you. I am not going to ask this. I respect my father"s wishes too much. "
     His face relaxed a little, but one of his feet kept beating the carpet.
     "No, if we are going to withdraw.(退出) from our planned marriage, it will be because of your wish,
not mine. "
     "Mine?" he said in great surprise. "What reason could I have for withdrawing?"
     "A reason that is very hard to tell you," she answered. "There is a change in me. "
     His face went so pale that even his lips lost their color. He turned his head to one side.
     "What change?" he asked, trying to appear calm.
     " When the promise was made two years ago", she said, " my love did not belong to anyone. Will you
forgive me, Sir Percival, if I tell you that it now belongs to another person?"
     "I wish you to understand", Laura continued, "that I will never see this person again, and that if you
leave me, you only allow me to remain a single woman for the rest of my life. All I ask is that you forgive
me and keep my secret."
     "I will do both those things, " he said. Then he looked at Laura, as if he was waiting to hear more.
     "I think I have said enough to give you reason to withdraw from our marriage,",she added quietly.
     "No. You have said enough to make it the dearest wish of my life to marry you, " he said.

     This Saturday morning I was having a walk around, enjoying the quiet morning, beautiful weather and lovely life, with my dog Jett running   _1_  (enjoy) beside me.  
     At one home I passed, I noticed a newspaper that    2__ (lie) by the roadside instead of near the door. Thinking I would make someone else"s life a little   _3__(easy), I picked up the paper and gently threw it towards their door.   _4__  instead of landing on the doorstep, the paper sailed    _5__   the wrong direction because of the strong wind and landed on the roof of a big truck in the driveway.  
     No one saw the funny scene but me and I burst out laughing. It was very quiet and they were probably still sleeping. It was too early to knock on the door and tell the homeowner  __6__ their newspaper was.   __7_  , instead I walked home, got dressed and went to the store to make it right.  
     I returned a little later with a new newspaper and a basket of strawberries freshly  _8__(pick) from my garden. I found the homeowner in the driveway with some of his friends. With a deep breath I came up to him and said, "I hope you have a great sense of humour." I explained what had happened to    _9__  newspaper.  
     Hearing this they all laughed loudly and I couldn"t help but smile all day. I"ve heard it said. "Character is what you do  _10 _  nobody is looking." I should be a man of character!
