Last week the manager of an old jeweler’s shop received a letter marked “personal”, so of course his secretary gave it to him unopened．As he was very busy, the letter lay on his desk till tea-time．Then he opened it and a ￡10 note fell out onto his desk．With the note was a short letter．This is what it said：
Dear sir,
In 1935 I got engaged．But unfortunately at that time there was a lot of unemployment and I lost my job．I was six months without a job and then I got work again．But of course was very short of money．I came to your shop to buy a wedding ring．The assistant brought some rings for me to look at, but she was called away for a moment, and I put one of the rings in my pocket．When she came back, I said I did not know the size of my girl-friend’s finger．So I left the shop without buying a ring．
My wife died a short while ago and the fact that I never paid for her ring has been on my conscience(良心)all these years．At the time the ring cost ￡2 so I reckon(估計(jì))that is about ￡10 at today’s price．And I am sending you that amount．
Yours truly,
A customer
“Well, well, well,” said the manager, “l(fā)ife is full of surprises!”
