“Read this,” she commanded, then 32______ her manners she added, “Oh, I’m so sorry. Hello, Miss Simms. I didn’t mean to be rude but I just got home and opened this and don’t quite know what to make of it. I’m afraid I’m absolutely confused.”

I’m so pleased you finally 33______ to find the courage to show your work to someone. Didn’t I always 34______ you it was good enough for publication?”

“You mustn’t turn 35______ this offer,” Miss Simms responded. “You really must telephone them, Dotty. They obviously love your work $–$ and who knows where this might lead? I have a friend who has been trying to get some of her work published for years, so I know how hard it is. I’msoproud36______ you.”
