Mr. Stilwell was going away for a week. Before he left, he said to his son,“If anyone asks for me, you can tell him that my father has been out for doing something, and he will be back in a week, then ask the visitor to sit down for a cup of tea.”

“Well, we're in our new house. Let's get a new pet to get along with it,” Mrs. Brown said to her husband.” That sounds like a pretty good idea,” he answered. “Do you want to see the ads in the newspaper？” “No. Let's go to the animal shelter.
