UNIT 4
Lesson 14
Exercise 1.1
Detecitive Wiley drove to Avery Towers
immediately when he got the call for help
from Lord Avery.
It was a beautiful morning.
The sun was shining and birds were singing.
A servant opened the front door
and showed him into the library
where Lord Avery was waiting.
He was smiling.
"Detective Wiley. I'm so happy to see you!"
said Lord Avery.
"I came as soon as I could," answered Wiley.
"What happened, Lord Avery?"
"Last night someone stole my gold ring
while I was sleeping," explained Avery.
"Hm, I want to examine the whole house,"
said Detective Wiley.
He went from room to room
and examined all the evidence carefully.
Then he returned to the library.
"Tell me, Lord Avery,
who was here in the house last night?"
Lord Avery replied, "Myself, Lady Avery,
our son Jonathan, Lady March,Hodge the gardener
and Lily the cook."
"Hm.I see."
"So,what now?" asked Lord Avery.
"Call them to the library.
I want to ask them where they were
and what they were doing just now."
"Just now?" asked Lord Avery.
"But someone stole the ring last night,
not just now..."
"I know," replied Wiley.
"Trust me, Lord Avery."
