“Forty.”
“No,thirty.I made a note of it.I always pay our governess thirty.Well,um,you’ve been here for two months,so...”
“Two months and five days.”
“Exactly two months.I made a special note of it.That means you have sixty dollars coming to you.Take nine Sundays off...you know you didn’t work with Tom on Sundays,and you only took walks.And three holidays...”Julia was biting her fingernail nervously,her face red,but,not a word.
“Three holidays,therefore take twelve dollars off your pay.Four days Tom was sick and there were no lessons,as you were occupied only with Dick.Three days you had a toothache and my wife gave you permission not to work after lunch.Twelve and seven makes nineteen.Take nineteen off...that leaves,hmm...forty-one dollars.Correct?”
Julia’s left eye reddened with tears welling up.Her chin trembled,and she coughed nervously and blew her nose,but still not a word.
“Around New Year’s Day you broke a teacup and a saucer;take two dollars off your pay.The cup cost more,because it was a treasure of the family,but forget it.Then,due to your neglect(疏忽),Tom climbed a tree and tore his jacket;take away ten.Also due to your carelessness the maid stole Dick’s shoes.You ought to watch everything!You get paid for it.So,that means five more dollars off.The tenth of January I gave you ten dollars.”
