``That's awkward,'' said John Wade. ``I have a few keys in my pocket. One may possibly answer.''
The housekeeper kneeled down, and made a trial of John Wade's keys. The last one was successful. The cover was lifted, and the contents were disclosed. However, neither John nor Mrs. Bradley seemed particularly interested in the articles for after turning them over they locked the trunk once more. ``So far so good,'' said John Wade.英文原著 · 《The Cash Boy》

Could it really be that we had that endless "Atlantic Ocean" to look at from our window, to dance along the edge of, to wade into or bathe in, if we chose?
