Using
a
public
telephone
may
well
be
one
of
the
minor
irritations
of
life,
demanding
patience,
determination
and
a strong possibility
of
failure,
together
on
occasion
with
considerable unpopularity.
The
hopeful
caller
(shall
we
call
him
George?)
waits
till
six
o
’
clock
in
the
evening
to take advantage of the so-called
“
cheap
rates
”
for a long-distance
call. The
telephone box, with two
broken panes of glass in the side, stands at the
junction
of two main roads with buses,
lorries and cars roaring past. It is pouring with
rain as George joins a queue of four
depressed-looking people. Time passes slowly
and
seems
to
come
to
a
standstill
while
the
person
immediately
before
George
carries
on
an endless conversation, pausing only to insert
another coin every minute or
so.
Eventually the receiver is
replaced and the caller leaves the box. George
enters
and picks up one of the
directories inside, only to discover that someone
unknown
has
torn
out
the
very
page
he
needs.
Nothing
for
it
but
to
dial
directory
Enquiries,
wait patiently for a reply down the
number given.
At
last
George
can
go
ahead
with
his
call.
Just
as
he
is
starting
to
dial,
however,
the door opens and
an unpleasant-looking face peers in with the
demand,
“
Can
’
t
you
hurry
up?
”
Ignoring
such
barbarity,
George
continues
to
dial
and
his
unwanted
companion
withdraws.
At
last
he
hears
the
burr-
burr
of
the
ringing
tone,
immediately
followed by
rapid pips demanding his money, but he is now so
upset that he knocks
down the coins he
has placed ready on the top of the box. Having at
last located
them, he dials again: the
pips are repeated and he hastily inserts the
coins. A
cold
voice
informs
him,
“
Grand
Hotel,
Chalfont
Wells.
”
“
I
’
ve
an
urgent
message
for a Mr. Smith who is a guest in your
hotel. Could you put me through to him?
I
’
m afraid I
don
’
t know his room
number.
”
The
response
appears
less
than
enthusiastic
and
a
long
long
silence
follows.
George
inserts more coins.
Then the voice informs him,
“
I
’
ve
been trying to locate Mr.
Smith but the
hall porter reports having seen him leave about a
minute ago.
”
Breathing heavily, George replaces the
receiver, just as the knocking on the door
starts again.

February
14th
is
a
complicated
but
interesting
holiday.
First
of
all,
St.
Valentine
’
s
Day
is
not
a
holiday
from
work.
No
one
gets
a
day
off.
On
Valentine
’
s
Day
people
usually send romantic cards to someone
they love or want to be loved by. The cards
are called
“
valen
tines
”
. They are very
colorful, often decorated with hearts,
flowers,
or
birds,
and
have
humorous
or
sentimental
verses
printed
inside.
The
basic
message
of
the
verse
is
always
“
Be
My
Valentine
”
,
“
Be
My
Sweet
Heart
”
or
“
Lover
”
.
A valentine is often anonymous, or
sometimes signed
“
Guess
who
”
. The person
receiving it has to guess who sent it.
This can lead to interesting speculation.
And that
’
s half
the fun of valentines.
One
of the symbols of St.
Valentine
’
s Day is the Roman
god of Love, called Cupid.
Cupid is
often printed on the card; he is a winged infant,
not wearing anything,
poised
to
shoot
his
arrow
into
a
heart.
He
would
shoot
an
arrow
of
love
into
a
person
’
s heart to
make the person fall in love immediately, maybe
with the first person
to
come
along.
Sometimes
one
arrow
would
go
through
two
hearts,
holding
them
together.
So
on February 14th not only do we have pictures of
the Christian St. Valentine
but we also
have pictures of the non-Christian Cupid, the
Roman god of Love.
But it
is from the Christians that we get the stories
about St. Valentine
’
s Day
that most people have come to believe.
One story is about a Christian man whose
name
sounded
something
like
“<
/p>
Valentine.
”
He
lived
around
AD
250.
At
that
time
the
Roman
Emperor,
Claudius
II,
refused
to
allow
any
Roman
soldiers
to
get
married
for any reason
whatsoever. Christian couples came to Valentine to
be married. So
Valentine
would marry
them
in
a
Christian
way.
He
was
discovered
and
put
in
prison
by the Emperor. One tradition says that
he wrote notes to his friends by marking
on leaves and then throwing them out
the window of his prison. And the leaves were
shaped like a heart.

Thanksgiving
is
celebrated
every
year
on
the
fourth
Thursday
of
November.
The
month
of November is in
autumn, the main season for harvesting crops.
The writer O. Henry called
Thanksgiving the one holiday that is purely
American.
It is not a religious
holiday. But it has spiritual meaning.
Thanksgiving
began
with
the
first
European
settlers
in
America.
They
gathered
their
crops, celebrated and gave thanks for
the food.
Tradition
says
Pilgrim
settlers
from
England
celebrated
the
first
Thanksgiving
in
1621. There is evidence that settlers
in other parts of America held earlier
Thanksgiving celebrations. But the
Pilgrims
’
Thanksgiving story
is the most
popular.
The Pilgrims were religious dissidents
who fled oppression in England. They went
first
to
the
Netherlands.
Then
they
left
that
country
to
establish
a
colony
in
North
America. The Pilgrims landed in 1620 in
what later became known as Plymouth,
Massachusetts.
Their
voyage
across
the
Atlantic
Ocean
was
difficult.
Their
first
months
in
America
were difficult, too. About one hundred
Pilgrims landed just as autumn was turning
to winter. During the cold months that
followed, about half of them died.
When
spring
came,
the
Pilgrims
began
to
plant
crops.
An
American
Indian
named
Squanto
helped
them.
When
summer
ended,
the
Pilgrims
had
a
good
harvest
of
corn
and
barley.
There was enough food to last through
the winter.
The
Pilgrims
decided
to
hold
a
celebration
to
give
thanks
for
their
harvest.
Writings
from that time say
Pilgrim leader William Bradford set a date late in
the year.
He invited members of a
nearby Indian tribe to take part. There were many
kinds
of
food
to
eat.
The
meal
included
wild
birds
such
as
ducks,
geese
and
turkeys.
That
thanksgiving celebration lasted three
days.
As the American
colonies grew, many towns and settlements held
thanksgiving or
harvest celebrations.

The writers of murder
stories go to a great deal of trouble to keep us
guessing
right up to the end. In actual
fact, people often behave more strangely in real
life than they do in stories.
The following advertisement
once appeared in a local newspaper:
“
An opportunity
to earn $$250 in a few minutes. A man
who is willing to take chances is wanted for
an
out-of-the-ordinary
job
which
can
be
performed
only
once.
”
A
reader
found
this
offer very generous and applied to the
advertiser, but a bit suspicious, he gave
a false name. Soon afterwards, he
received a reply. Enclosed in the envelope was
a typed note instructing him to ring a
certain number if he was still interested.
