Having returned from her round trip, the angry woman stood outside the ticket office. "The railway owes me $12, " she said to Harry Jenks, the young man working at the office. "You sold me a ticket for May 22nd, but there was no ship from Jersey that night. So my daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It cost me $12. "

Harry was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. "Come into the off ice, Madam, "he said politely. "I'll check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd. "

The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered. There was no sailing on May 22nd. How could he have made such a careless mistake? He shouldn't have sold her a ticket for that day. Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. "You look sunburnt, "he said to her. "Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey?"

"Yes", she answered, shyly. "The beach (海灘) was lovely. And I can swim too!"

"That's fine, "said Harry. "My little girl can't swim a bit yet. Of course, she's only three'""

"I'm four, "the child said proudly. "I'll be four and a half. "

Harry turned to the mother. " I remember your ticket, Madam, "he said. "But you didn't get one for your daughter, did you?"

"Er, well"-"the woman looked at the child. "I mean ??? she hasn't started school yet. She's only four. "

"A four-year-old child must have a ticket, Madam. A child's return ticket to Jersey costs' "let me see ??? $ 13. 5. So if the railway pays your hotel, you will owe $1. 5. The law is law, but since the fault (過錯) was mine…".
