I ate the sandwich and began 9 cold coffee with the book 10 open to the first page. 11 there was a loud knock at the front 12 . It surprised me so much that I spilled(洒)some coffee on my skirt. The man at the door was looking 13 a certain address and 14 me to give him some information. It 15 me a long time to explain something to him.
