John had to go to work．So he set off half an hour 1 than usual and arrived at the library before anybody else．The 2 to come was Mr．Steele, who thought,“This must be a wonder．John is 3 the first here．If he came as 4 as this every morning, he would get a lot more 5 done.”John began to get on with his work and by half past nine he had 6 all the postcards he had to write．It was a quarter to ten, and Mary had not arrived 7．He wondered 8 she was ill or if she had taken the day 9．But Mr．Steele came and 10 him if he knew where Mary was．If she were ill, she would 11, he said．It’s not like her．She’s usually 12．John said that he had no 13 where Mary was．But 14 the door opened and there was Mary．She was looking very 15 and tired．She apologized to Mr．Steele and explained that she had been 16 most of the night．She hadn’t 17 to sleep until five in the morning and had overslept．Mr．Steele was very 18 and suggested that she take the day off．She 19 him and said she would stay, but she 20 said a word for the rest of the morning．John, on the other hand, was feeling happy so at one o’clock he suggested to Mary that they go and have lunch together, and she agreed．
