Take them  4 !”

“Take them and let me go,” she said. The robber thought that the girl didn’t like the earrings at all, only trying to   7 the necklace. The earrings would cost   8 , so he said, “Give me your necklace.”
“Oh, sir. It doesn’t cost much. Please let me wear it.”
“I am not that   9 . Quick!”
With shaking   10  , Miss Brown took off her necklace. As soon as the robber left, she picket up her earrings and ran as fast as she could to one of her friends.
