Reading Comprehension
When my husband was promoted, we put our house up for sale. Three
weeks later, it was still on the market. I became a compulsive housekeeper.
Every room had to be kept tidy, and dishes had to be washed and put away
when used. Then one day the doorbell rang unexpectedly at 8 am. Sleepily,
I opened the door and saw our agent standing there with a couple from
New York. “There had been no time to call,” he explained, “because the
couple had to catch a plane home.”
The three people made their way past the dirty breakfast dishes on the
kitchen table and into a bedroom with unmade beds. As I retreated into a
bathroom to comb my hair, I heard the man say something to his wife. Then
they both laughed.
Two days later, the agent phoned to tell me that the couple had bought
the house. He repeated what the buyer had said when he handed over the
check the following day: “That house has a warm, lived-in feeling, just like
ours.”
