Mrs. Harrington was glad to be back at the block of flats where she lived. Her shopping had tired her. In the 　36　 her thoughts were on lunch and a good rest; but when she got out at her own floor, both were forgotten in her　 37　 discovery that front door was 　38　 . She was thinking she must blame her daily _39_ the next morning for such a terrible piece of carelessness, when she remembered that she had _40 _ both keys in their locks. She walked slowly into the hall and at once noticed that all the _4l_ were open, yet following her regular practice she had shut them before going out. Looking into the drawing room, she saw a scene of _42_ over her writing desk. It was as clear as daylight then that her flat had been broken into during her _43_. Her first angry thought was to go _44_ all the rooms looking for the thieves, but then she decided that at her age it might be more _45_ to have someone with her, so she went to _46_ Mr. Johnson from the first floor. By this time her legs were beginning to tremble, so she sat down and _47_ a cup of very strong tea while he telephoned the police.

The police officer began to look for fingerprints, while the policeman _52_ that　 the front door locks had not been _53_, which proved that the thieves had either　 used some _54_ or entered over the balcony (阳台). There was no trace of fingerprints, but the officer found a dirty red pack that contained jewelry which the old lady said was not hers. So the entry into this flat was _55_ not their first job that day.
