  There was one thing that I found rather strange on my first day to work at Monk’s House.The floors in the house were very thin.The bathroom was directly above the kitchen, and when Mrs.Wolf was having her bath before breakfast, I could hear her talking to herself.On and on she went, talked, talked, talked, asking questions and giving herself the answers.I thought there must have been two or three people up there with her.Later Mrs.Woolf explained that Mrs.Woolf always said the sentences out loud what she had written during the night.She needed to know if they sounded right and the bath was a place for trying them out.

  I was not allowed to make coffee at Monk’s House-Mr.and Mrs.Woolf came into the kitchen at eight o’clock every morning to make it.When we carried the breakfast trays to Mrs.Woolf’s room I noticed that there were pencils and paper beside her bed so that when she woke up she could work, and sometimes it seemed as though she had had very little sleep.

  Mrs.Woolf’s bedroom was outside the house in the garden.I used to think how inconvenient it must be to have to go out in the rain to go to bed.Her bedroom had been added on to the back of the house; the door faced the garden and a window at the side opened out on to a field.Because the writing room was small.Mr.Woolf had had a large one built for her at the end of the garden against the church wall.

  I can always remember her coming out of her writing room only for lunch each day.She used to walk down through the thin and very graceful, with large, deep set eyes.She wore long skirts in the fashion of the day, any silk jackets of the same color, which suited her well.I pressed her clothes and did any sewing that was necessary.

  Her cigarettes were made from a special tobacco called My Mixture.Mr.Woolf bought it for her in London, and in the evenings, they used to sit by the fire and make these cigarettes themselves.

Miss Gogers taught physics in a New York school. Last month she explained to one of her classes about sound, and she decided to test them to see how successful she had been in her explanation. She said to them, “Now I have a brother in Los Angeles. If I was calling him on the phone and at the same time you were 75 feet away, listening to me from across the street, which of you would hear what I said earlier, my brother or you and for what reason?”

Tom at once answered, “Your brother. Because electricity travels faster than sound waves.” “That's every good,” Miss Gogers answered; but then one of the girls raised her hand, and Miss Gogers said. “Yes, Kate.”

“And I want you to know that I did it?”Paused. “I knew it!” he yelled back. We had a good laugh and a ___16___ discussion. His closing words were: “Jimmy, I always felt bad for you ___17___ your buddies got it off their chest, but you were carrying it ___18___ all these years.
