7、to the other room and just say aslittle to him as I possibly could.I started to hate him,and Im sure he knew it.5）I hadnt realized it was possible to miss my old job more than I already did.Imissed Frank,and the way he actually looked pleased to see me when I arrivedin the morning.I missed the custo
8、mers,their company,and the easy chatter（唠叨，喋喋不休）that swelled and dipped gently like a benign（温和的，仁慈的）sea around me.This house,beautiful and expensive as it was,was as still andsilent as a morgue（停尸房）.Six months,I repeated under my breath,when itfelt unbearable.Six months.6）And then on the Thursday,j
