Elizabeth Enright “The Lucky
Thimble”
THE
CORAL BRACELET
One
afternoon it was raining fast when Garnet went to get the letters.
She wore
an old raincoat that was too short for her, and Jay’s boots that were too big.
In the letterbox there was a business letter for father, two letters for mother
and a letter for Jay. There were no letters for Garnet, but then there never
were except on her birthday.
She put the letters into the raincoat pocket and went back to Citronella’s
house. Near the door she shouted, “Citronella!” No answer. “Citronella!” she
shouted again. This time Citronella answered and came downstairs.
“I was in my great-grandmother’s room”, she said. “Come, Garnet. Great-grandma
is telling me about when she was little”.
Garnet
took off her raincoat, left her boots near the door and went up the stairs
behind Citronella.
Citronella’s great-grandmother was very, very old. She had a little room in the
house. There were many photographs on the walls. Great-grandmother was sitting
in a chair with a red blanket on her knees. When the children came in, they sat
down, and she began to tell them about her life when she was a little girl.
“Oh, this part of the country was wild in those days,” she said. “The nearest
town was three miles away. We worked much, we did everything ourselves. There
were eleven children in the family. I was the tenth. The boys worked with
father in the fields. The girls helped in the house. Even when we were five
years old we helped. We frightened the cows from the corn. Sometimes deer came
and we frightened them away too. But often we saw how the deer came down to the
river when they wanted to drink. Beautiful animals they were; but I haven’t
seen a deer for the last thirty years. Yes, it was a wild country then, only
woods and open fields and very few roads. There were Indians too in those
days.”
“I
slept in a little bed with my sister Matty. In the daytime we put it under the
big bed that mother and father slept in. At night we put it in the corner. From
our bed we could see into the next room where the fire was burning. There were
very cold winters then and much snow. Then the fires were burning day and
night. Well, on those cold nights we could often see how the front door opened.
In came Indians, quite as cats, sometimes one or two, sometimes as many as ten.
They wore clothes made of deer skin. We could see how they lay down in front of
the fire. We never knew when thy left, because we were asleep. They went out
early before in was light, but we found a present near the fireside. Sometimes
it was some deer meat, sometimes a rabbit a two.”
“Tell us about the time when you were a bad girl, great-grandma,” said
Citronella. “You know, on your tenth birthday.”
The old woman laughed. “Again” she said. “Well, Garnet has not heard this
story, has she? You know, Garnet, I was a very headstrong child. Well, in
Blaiseville at that time there was only one store”.
“It was Elly Gensler’s store,” said Citronella, who knew the story by heart.
“Yes, so it was. Elly Gensler was a tall thin man. We all liked him because he
was good to us, and gave us sweets whenever we came in. He had everything in
his store that you could think of: food, boots, books, toys, clothes. It was a
wonderful place."

Walter Scott “Ivanhoe”
In that pleasant district of marry England
which lies on both sides of the river Don, in old times there was a large
forest. Parts of this forest still exist. It was the home of the brave outlaws,
who were so popular.
Our story describe the time towards the end of the reign of
Richard
I, when he was abroad. The barons, in the king’s absence, strengthened their
castles and acted like little kings. Prince John, the king’s brother, with the
help of the barons, tried to seize the throne. Common people were cruelly
oppressed.
A
hundred years had passed since the Conquest of England by Duke William of Normandy. But in these hundred years the language and the interests of the Normans and
Anglo-Saxons were not yet united. These two peoples remained enemies. Only a
few of the Saxon princes remained masters of the land which had belonged to
their fathers. After the Conquest William the Conqueror had taken the greater
part of the land from its Saxon owners and given it to the Norman barons. At
court and at the castles of the great nobles Norman-French was the only
language spoken. Anglo-Saxon was spoken only by common people and few remaining
Saxon nobles who had not yet bent under the Norman rule.
The
sun was setting upon one of the glades of that forest which we have spoken
about. There were two men in the glade. The elder of these men had a serious
look. He was wearing a long shirt made of the skin of some animal, and
reaching down to his knees. On his feet he had sandals. Round his neck there
was a metal ring, like a dog’s collar; on the ring there were such words:
“Gurth, the born slave of Cedric of Rotherwood.” Gurth was a swineherd.
The
other man was sitting on the ground besides Gurth. He looked about ten years
younger. His clothes, in form, were like those of his companion, but his shirt
was of better materials and of brighter colours. Over his shirt he was wearing
a short red cloak. Round his neck there was a collar of the same metal, with
these words: “Wamba, the born slave of Cedric of Rotherwood.” On his head he
had a cap with bells round it. This cap, and his bright clothes, showed that he
was a domestic jester.
The
swineherd looked serious and sad. Wamba’s eyes were merry. The two men were
talking in Anglo-Saxon, which, as we said before, was spoken by all common
people, except the Norman soldiers. Gurth, with the help of his dog, was truing
to gather his swine together, but could not.

Leif Eiriksson, the Discoverer of America.
After the famous voyage made by Christopher Columbus in 1492
he
had been known as the discoverer of America during a few centuries. In was
common knowledge that Columbus had found the way to the New World. Americans
annually celebrated Discovery Day on October 12, which was also called Columbus
Day.
However, some scientists didn’t think that Columbus had been the first white
man to reach America. They read ancient Icelandic sagas which told about the
Vikings, brave warriors and sailors from northern Europe. These sagas say that
the Vikings had sailed to America long before Columbus. The Vikings had traded
with the natives and even made their settlements on American coast.
Certainly, Icelandic sagas were not enough evidence to question the priority of
Columbus. There was no any reliable proof.
Such a proof came to light in the twentieth century. In 1957
in London there was found an old map, dated 1440, that is fifty years before
the voyage of Columbus.
The map is made after the sailing instructions left by the ancient Vikings. It
shows Western Europe, the British Isles and Norway. It also shows Iceland
and Greenland, and to the west of Greenland there is the coast of a great
country which is marked “Vinland” on the map. The outline of Vinland’s coast
corresponds exactly to those of North America today. So, the old Icelandic
sagas tell the truth.
Authenticity of the map (which was called the Vinland map) didn’t arouse
suspicion, and the scientists got every reason to believe that the hero of many
Icelandic sagas, Leif Eiriksson, the son of Eiric the Red, was a real person.
Eiriksson was a Norseman, a chieftain of the Vikings who made many voyages to Iceland,
Greenland and Newfoundland.
Once his ship run into heavy weather and Eiriksson lost his way. For a while
they were sailing at random, and after a few days their ship reached an unknown
land. The Vikings saw a low coast covered with big trees and wild vines. The
warm air was sweet with the smell of grapes. That is why Eiriksson called the
new country Vinland, which means “the land of wine”.
The new land was not an uninhabited area. Many tribes of redskin hunters lived
in it, who met Eiriksson and his men in a friendly way. The Norsemen lived
there peacefully beside the natives for a few months.
But it so happened that Eiriksson once quarrelled with the of a big tribe. The
incident turned all the tribesmen against the newcomers. In spite of the
oncoming winter, the Vikings had to leave Vinland.
Actually we know very little about Leif Eiriksson’s life, but we know enough
to say that he had been to North America long before Columbus. In 1966 the
United States Congress officially declared Leif Eiriksson to be the discoverer
of America. Discovery Day was shifted from October 12 to October 9, and now it
is called Leif Eiriksson’s Day.
But what about Columbus then? Does all that mean that we can simply cancel his
discovery and forget his name? Certainly not! One should bear in mind that Columbus knew nothing about the voyage of Eiriksson. Eventually people forgot abut the
western land found by the Vikings. Columbus himself didn’t try to find the
forgotten way to the New World. When his three ships put in on the shore
of North America on October 12, 1492, Columbus was sure that he found a new
part of India. He called the new land West Indies, and the redskin natives got
the name of Indians.
What is more, till the end of his life Columbus had no idea that he
rediscovered a new continent. But at any rate, the voyage of Christopher
Columbus initiated active exploration of the New World.
Thus we can say that America was discovered twice. As a matter of fact, the
Congress of the United States didn’t cancel Columbus Day in 1966 altogether.
Such a celebration Day still exists in the United States, but now it is devoted
to the rediscovery of America and to the beginning of its exploration.

How could people reveal that
ancient manuscripts contained the real information about earlier discoveries?

LOOKING BACK ON EIGHTY YEARS
(After S.Maugham)
In my long life I have seen many changes in our habits
and customs.
The
world I entered when at the age of eighteen I became a medical student was a
world that knew nothing of planes, motor-cars, movies, radio or telephone. When
I was still at school a lecturer came to Canterbury and showed us boys a new
machine which reproduced the human voice. It was the first gramophone. The
world I entered was a world that warmed itself with coal fires, lit itself by
gas and paraffin lamps, and looked upon a bathroom as a luxury out of the
reach.
On
Sundays the muffin man made his rounds ringing his melancholy bell and people
came out of their door to buy muffins and crumpets for afternoon tea.
It
was a very cheap world. When I entered St Thomas’s Hospital I took a couple of
furnished rooms for which I paid 18s a week. My landlady provided me with a
solid breakfast before I went to the hospital and high tea when I came back at
half-past six, and the two meals cost me about 12s a week. I was able to live
very comfortably, pay my fees, buy my necessary instruments, and clothe
myself.
I
had enough money to go to the theatre at least once a week. The pit, to which I
went, was not the orderly thing it is now. There were no queues. The crowd
collected at the doors, and when they were opened there was a struggle, with a
lot of pushing and elbowing and shouting to get a good place. But that was part
of the fun.
Travelling
was cheap, too, in those days. When I was twenty I went to Italy
by myself for the six weeks of the Easter vacation. I went to Pisa and spend a
wonderful month in Florence; then I went to Venice and Milan and so back to London.
I
spent five years at St Thomas’s Hospital. I was an unsatisfactory medical
student, for my heart was not in it. I wanted, I had always wanted, to be a
writer, and in the evening, after my tea, I wrote and read.
I
wrote a novel, called Liza of Lambeth, sent it to a publisher, and it
was accepted. It appeared during my last year at the hospital and had something
of a success. It was of course an accident, but naturally I did not know that.
I felt I could afford to chuck medicine and make writing my profession; so
three days after passing the final examinations which gave me my medical
qualifications, I set out for Spain to learn Spanish and write another book.
Looking back now, after these years, and knowing as I do the terrible
difficulties of making a living by writing, I realize that I was taking a
fearful risk. It never occurred to me. I abandoned the medical profession with
relief, but I do not regret the five years I spend at the hospital, far from
it.
They
taught me pretty well all I know about human nature, for in a hospital you see
it in the raw. People in pain, people in fear of death, do not try to hide
anything from their doctor, and if they do he can generally guess what they are
hiding.
The
next ten years were very hard. I did not follow up my first success with
another. I wrote several novels, only one of which had any merit, and I wrote a
number of plays which managers more or less promptly returned to me.
Then
I had a bit of luck. The manager of the Court Theatre, Sloane Square, put on a
play that failed. He read a play of mine, called Lady Frederick, and
thought he did not much like it, thought it might just run for the six weeks.
It ran for fifteen months.
I
had four plays running in London at the same time.
Nothing
of the kind had ever happened before, and the papers made a great to-do about
it. If I may say it without immodesty, I was the talk of the town. One of the
students at St Thomas’s Hospital asked the eminent surgeon with whom I had
worked as a “dresser” whether he remembered me.
“Yes,
I remember him quite well,” he sad. “Very sad. Very sad. One of our failures
I’m afraid.”

TEST ON READING (THE 10TH FORM)
YOU CAN ALWAYS SPOT A TYPICAL AMERICAN.
You can always spot Americans abroad by their toughness. It comes from their
sense of individual freedom – their first value and belief.
Americans realize however that individuals must rely on themselves, otherwise
they risk to lose their freedom. They must come to both financial and emotional
independence from their parents as early as possible, usually by age 18 or 21.
So, self-reliance usually is the second trait and moral value supposed to be
obligatory to a true American.
It designates the ability of succeeding on one’s own. “Pull yourself up by the
bootstraps” is their saying as well as “Life is what you make it” and “Actions
speak louder than words”.
The third national value accounts for their confident and unaffected manners.
It’s the old belief that everyone in America has equal opportunity to succeed,
and equal chance of success. This value is said to be particularly true at the
times of settlers’ moving west to make a new beginning, from 1600s to 1890s.
The differences in wealth between rich and poor were little at that time, so
one’s fortune depended only on one’s industry. But if everybody had chance to
better his living conditions, then everybody’s duty was to try, which led to
the overall competitions with one another. And up and now people who compete
successfully are honored and called “winners”. Those who do not like to compete
and are failures are dishonored and called “losers”.
Here we come to the fourth American value – competition. 60% of the Americans
believe competition and desire to win are healthy and desirable. So you can
hardly see a person wishing to look incapable or a “loser”. But you shouldn’t
think their optimistic look is but make believe. In spite of the fact that
society can’t consist only of “winners” the Americans are optimistic. That
trait proceeded from a “can-do” spirit of earlier settlers which had to be
inventive experimentors and had come to believe that every problem has a
solution: a difficult problem can be solved immediately – an impossible one can
take a little longer. This “can-do” spirit was for all that strengthened by
natural abundance and unmeasured territory.
It greatly reduced the conflict between the rich and the poor too. “If at first
you don’t succeed, try, try again,” they say here.
As for the greater American dream “from rags to riches” it is still alive by
far! It goes on attracting immigrants from all over the world.
The fifth national value is material wealth. Well, wealth but ought to become
measure of social status and success in the society which rejected aristocracy
with all its privileges. Most Americans believe wealth is a reward for hard
work and that it is possible to have a good standard of living if a person
works hard. This conviction is believed to stem from the Protestant religion,
which holds that gaining wealth goes along with self-improvement of a person.
“God helps those who help themselves,” says the proverb.
The sense of humour is the most revealing aspect of a culture. Surely, humour
has never been valued more highly in any civilization than in this one.
Humour is the great reliever of tension, the counterbalance to the dash and
roar of our fastpaced industrialized life with its whirring machines, traffic
snarls and frayed tempers.
American humour, in short, confirms the importance of mating and the family,
the high status of women and children, the pace and tension of life.
Americans carry with them an appearance which is more a result of attitude than
of clothing.
They love children, animals, gadgets, mother, work, excitement, noise, nature,
television, shows, comedy, installment buying, fast motion sports, the flag,
Christ jazz, shapely women and muscular men, crowds, beefsteak, coffee,
ice-cream, do-it-yourself.
There is of course no typical American. But if you added them all together and
the divided by 226000000 they would look something like what this chapter tried
to portray.

A Stockbroker Is an Honorable Business
Our brokerage firm was founded in 1931 by my
father, Reed Glover. He was a banker. I’m 40 years old. I started in the
securities business in 1954. I believed we were in a new era: there could no
longer be a severe collapse in stock prices.
In 1968 and 1969
a great many large firms overexpanded. Worse than that, they recommended
stocks which were unsound. The downturn occurred in 1969 and 1970, many of
these firms went out of business. They forgot that there really isn’t a new
era. The business cycle is not going to vanish. You must be prepared for
adversity as well as prosperity.
When you’re dealing with an individual’s money
it’s a terrific responsibility. The individual is exposed to so many people in
the brokerage business that it’s quite a compliment to have him turn to you for
investment service. The rule I’ve always gone by is that I expect to have my
brother-in-law’s account and my roommate in college. But it seems everybody has
a roommate in college or a brother-in-law who’s in this business. So I don’t
really use my social acquaintances for purposes of business. My closest friends
are with many of the brokerage firms. At social gatherings we don’t discuss the
market, other than in an amusing way.
I’m amazed how rarely the individual customer
will find fault with the broker. Along with that, there’s no written contract
in our business. If the stock goes down, the customer’s word is his pledge.
They all pay. This is an honorable business.
When you’re dealing with a person’s money and
investments, you deal with his hopes and ambitions and dreams.
It’s quite easy to look around and say this is a
parasitical business. All you’re doing is raking off your cut from the
productivity of others. That is, I think, an erroneous view. Frankly, I’ve
wrestled with that. It comes down to this: the basis of the country’s strength and
prosperity is the finest economic system that’s ever been devised, with all its
imperfections.
Our system depends on a free exchange of publicly
owned assets, and we’re part of the picture. If there were no stock market, I
think the economy would be stifled. It would prevent the growth of our
conpanies. Without a stock market, the companies wouldn’t be able to invest
their capital and grow. This is my life and I count myself very fortunate to be
in this work. It’s fulfilling.
