    railway owes me £12," she said to Harry Jenks, the young man working at the office."You sold me a ticket
    for May 22nd, but there was no ship to Jersey that night. So my daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It cost
    me£12."  
         Harry was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. "come into the office, Madam," he

    daughter, did you?"
         "Er, well…" the woman looked at the child. "I mean… she hasn't started school yet. She's only four."
         "A four-year-old child must have a ticket, Madam. A child's return ticket to Jersey costs… let me see…
    £13.50. So if the railway pays for you hotel, you will owe £1.50. The law is the law, but since it's me who
    made the mistake…"

    many of her pupils made panic cries. Mrs Li realized at once that it must be a powerful earthquake hitting the

    (巨烈地). Some of the buildings nearby were falling down, and a great number of falling stones were rolling

    right on his body. She forgot the danger she was facing and ran over, trying to push the stone away. The
