26、nding opposite the jewelers, looking extremely suspicious. But the moment he saw me, instead of trying to avoid me, he came straight across the road as I drew level with the jewelers.

27、ply and no sign of recognition from me. It was quite obvious that he had mistaken me for someone else.

And I had noticed that he was well dressed, too. But if he looked suspicious dressed like that at that time of the

29、 morning, what about me? I was in a track suit, with an old sweater round my shoulders and a cap on my headAs to his odd remark about “talking to himself on this job”, I hadnt paid any attention to it, although now it began to worry me.

30、 felt he was.I had just turned the corner into the High Street when I heard the sound of breaking glass somewhere behind me, and I thought the sound came from the street I had just left. I stopped dead and almost without thinking looked back around the corner. The stranger was not there, but almost

32、 suspect me of committing the crime, and it might be difficult for me to prove my innocence.

36、e might commit the crime to the policeD. he hesitates whether to report to the police about what he knewCI have had just about enough of being treated like a second-class citizen, simply because I happened to be that put-upon member of society a customer. The more I go into shops and hotels, banks a

37、nd post offices, railway stations, airports and the like, the more Im convinced that things are being run just to suit the firm, the system, or the union.

38、ms like hours at the Post Office or the supermarket because there arent enough staff on duty at all the service counters?

39、isters into operation at any time would increase expenses. And the Post Office says we cannot expect all their service counters to be occupied “at times when demand is low”.Its the same with hotels. Because waiters and kitchen staff must finish when it suits them, dining rooms close earlier or menu

40、choice is lowered. As for us guests (and how the meaning of that word has been cut away little by little.), we just have to put up with it.

41、d replaced by coin-eating machines which supply everything from beer to medicine, not to mention thecreeping（慢慢加剧的） threat of the tea-making set in your room: a kettle with teabags, milk bags and sugar.
