Mrs. Jones was very fond of singing. She had a good
16 , except that some of her high notes tended to sound like a gate, which someone had forgotten to
17 . Mrs. Jones was very conscious of this
18 , and took every
19 she could find to practice these high
20 . As she lived in a small house where she could not practice without
21 the rest of the family, she usually went for long walks along the country roads whenever she had time, and practiced her high notes there. Every time she heard a
22 or a person coming along the
23 , she stopped and
24 until she could no longer be heard before she started practicing again, because she was a
25 person, and because she was sensitive about those high notes.
One afternoon, however, a fast, open car came up behind her so
26 and so fast that she did not hear it until it was only a few yards from her. She was singing some of her highest and most
27 notes at the time, and as the car passed her, she saw an anxious
28 suddenly come over its driver’s face. He put his brakes on violently, and as soon as the car stopped, jumped out and began to
29 all his tires carefully.
Mrs. Jones did not dare to tell him what the noise he had heard had really been, so he got back into his car and drove off as
30 as he had been when he stopped.
