--- What was the good news? |
| [00:17.200] |
The secretary told me that Mr.Harmsworth would see me. |
| [00:23.640] |
I felt very nervous when I went into his office. |
| [00:28.480] |
He did not look up from his desk when I entered. |
| [00:32.760] |
After I had sat down, he said that business was very bad. |
| [00:39.840] |
He told me that the firm could not afford to pay such large salaries. Twenty people had already left. |
| [00:51.680] |
I knew that my turn had come. |
| [00:56.360] |
'Mr.Harmsworth,' I said in a weak voice.^“ |
| [01:02.920] |
'Don't interrupt,' he said |
| [01:06.840] |
