Mrs. Jones was very fond of singing. She had a good 26 , except that some of her high notes tended to sound like a gate, which someone had forgotten to 27 . Mrs. Jones was very conscious of this 28 _, and took every 29 she could find to practice these high 30 . As she lived in a small house where she could not practice without 31 the rest of the family, she usually went for long walks along the country roads whenever she had time, and practiced her high notes there. Every time she heard a 32 or a person coming along the 33 , she stopped and 34 until she could no longer be heard before she started practicing again, because she was a 35 person, and because she was sensitive about those high notes.
One afternoon, however, a fast, open car came up behind her so 36 and so fast that she did not hear it until it was only a few yards from her. She was singing some of her highest and most 37 notes at the time, and as the car passed her, she saw an anxious 38 suddenly come over its driver’s face. He put his brakes on violently, and as soon as the car stopped, jumped out and began to 39 all his tires carefully.
Mrs. Jones did not dare to tell him what the noise he had heard had really been, so he got back into his car and drove off as 40 as he had been when he stopped.
