Bond?said Anna, not understanding. Janet Bond was a quiet little mouse of a child. As far as Anna could remember, she had never had cause to speak an angry word to the girl. Mrs Bond, went on Mr Enderby, tells me that you scolded her daughter yesterday afternoon. Scolded?cried Anna.I don39。t scold. At least not in school,39。she added honestly. Mrs Bond39。s story, is that Janet was a little late back to school in the afternoon. She said that the child had to spend some time in the bathroom, which meant she set out from home a little late.

Then she wandered in, when we39。 d started our papercutting, and I believe I said she was a nuisance(令人討厭的). She didn39。 t appear to hear, and was certainly quitecheerful.Ah, a nuisance. Mr Enderby jumped on the word. You’re sure you only said a nuisance?I may not even have said that, Anna replied. It was no more than slight displeasure that I felt and I certainly didn39。t scold. “Mrs Bond said that you called her child a blasted(該死的)nuisance . Is that true? “Indeed it isn39。t, said Anna. “The childor the motherhas made it up!

He introduced his colleagues and then indicated a chair, in which I seated myself. After asking me briefly about my place of birth and my Royal Air Force experience, they began to question me carefully on telemunications. Now I was confident, at ease with a familiar subject. They questioned me thoroughly, but 1 was relaxed now. The years of study and work began to pay off, and I knew I was doing well. I was even enjoying it. When it was over, Mr Symonds, the man who had weled me, leaned back in his chair and said : Well, now, my colleagues and I are pletely satisfied with your replies and we feel sure that, in terms of qualifications, ability, and experience, you are well suited to the post we have in mind. But we are faced with a certain difficulty. If we employ you, it means we must place you in a position of authority(權(quán)威)over a number of our English employees. Many of them have been with us for a long time, and we feel sure that your appointment would upset good relations within the firm. We could not offer you the post without the responsibility, and we would not ask you to accept one or two other positions of a different type. They exist, but they are not suitable for someone like you. So, I39。m afraid, we will not be able to offer you the job. I felt suddenly weak, and I was quite unable to think. Yet somehow I managed to leave that office, realizing that I had either forgotten or pletely ignored during the six exciting years of the warmy own black skin. 1.
