I picked it up and opened it to see ifI could find out the owner‟s name. There was nothinginside it except some small change and a rather oldphotograph-a picture of a woman and a young girlabout twelve years old, who looked like the woman‟sdaughter. I put the photograph back and took the purseto the police station, where I handed it to thesergeant in charge. Before I left, the sergeant made anote of my name and address in case the owner of thepurse wanted to write and thank me.That evening I went have dinner with an uncleand aunt of mine. They had also invited anotherperson, a young woman, so that there would be fourpeople at table. The young woman‟s face wasfamiliar, but I could not remember where I had seenit. I was quite sure that we had not met before. In thecourse of conversation, however, the young womanhappened to remark that she had lost her face. Shewas the young girl in the photograph, although shewas now much older. Of course she was verysurprised when I was able to describe her purse to her.Then I explained that I had recognized her face fromthe photograph I had found in the purse.

Theyknew that his mother did not want him to come on thisExpedition into the forest.Charles, who was the oldest and their accepted leader,waded downstream to the place where their boat wastied up in the shelter of some overhanging busher.Then he rowed the boat back to the shallow water nearthe bridge, where the boys loaded in with theprovisions, blankets and other things which they weretaking on their journey.Dawn was just breaking as they climbed into their boatand pushed off from the bank. A swift current carriedthem down-stream, so there was no need to row. Theytook it in turns to keep the boat in the centre of theriver. Three hours later they entered the forest wherethey intended to spend the next few days.“Let‟s go ashore now and make some tea,” suggestedCharles. “No one will see us here.”|| AUTHOR :: DIGITAL SUCCESS IN ENGLISH || www.sarbin.peperonity.com || Email: sarbin_munshi@yahoo.com || Next Page >>
