The secretary told me that Mr,Harmsworth would see me.i felt very nervous,when i went into his office,hi did not look up from his desk when i entered,after i sat down,he said that business was very bad,hi told me that the firm could not afford to pay such large salaries,twenty people had already left,,i knew that my turn had come

'mr,harmsworth',i said in a weak voice

"Don't interrupt'he said

then he smiled and told me i would receive an extra thousand pounds a year!
