Mr. James owns a company. He put an advertisement     1    a newspaper for a boy to work in his office. Out of nearly fifty people     2    came to apply, the man selected one and dismissed     3    others.

“I would like to know,” said a friend, “the reason you preferred that boy, who brought neither a single letter,     4    a single recommendation.”

I considered them to be more significant than     10    (letter).”
