　　Many people are tidy both at home and at the office. Nowhere have I seen a 1 untidy office than my friend James'. Everywhere there are 2 and books. Not only does it seem never to be cleaned out, but also I do not think it is ever aired, for at 3 time have I seen any of the windows 4 . Often I have 5 James that he should open one, but each time he answered, "Not just now, Henry, later." Luckily I 6 to go there very often, nor do I stay there longer than I have to. Strangely enough, James is quite 7 outside his office. Only once have I seen him with a dirty collar, for example. He is usually well 8 . Nor is he careless about things like 9 . At no time has he been 10 to forget a party, and no sooner does he receive an invitation 11 he answers it. Unfortunately, his office is quite 12 run. Perhaps he does not like 13 work. In his garden in the evening and 14 weekends, James is happy. As soon as he 15 home from the office, he begins to work in the garden. Always he seems to have some work to do there, and nowhere in his garden 16 a corner which is not tidy or well 17 . Seldom have I seen prettier flowers, or healthier vegetables, or smoother, greener grass than in his 18 . Really I 19 he ought to have been a farmer, so 20 is he at such work. Dear friends, have you ever met a person like James? Or do you find him lovely?
