The receipt seemed not where I had placed it. No matter how 4 I searched, the receipt was nowhere to be found. When my turn came, I explained the situation sorrowfully to the assistant. The man looked me 5 as if to say he had heard this kind of story many times and asked me to tell him what my case looked like.

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.
