The next morning, at the appointed hour, the Judge, came up the dirt road, leading the sorriest looking specimen of a horse ever seen in those parts of Illinois. The large crowd viewing the spectacle burst out laughing, already knowing that Abe Lincoln was bound to get the worst of the deal. A poorer horse just couldn't exist anywhere and still be walking.
In a few minutes, however, Mr. Lincoln was seen approaching the general store carrying something quite large and bulky on his shoulders. As he drew nearer, the crowd saw what it was, and great shouts and laughter broke out. The shouts and laughter soon broke into a thunderous roar when Mr. Lincoln, looking carefully and seriously over the Judge's animal, set down his sawhorse(锯木架), and exclaimed, "Well, Judge, this is the first time I ever got the worst of it in a horse trade."

He went over his instructions in his mind. The agent would appear at four o' clock. He would chat to Lane for a while, after which he would get up, leaving his newspaper behind. The plan would be fastened inside.
A distant clock began to strike the hour. As if from nowhere, a man appeared and sat down be side Lane, placing his newspaper on the seat between them. He was thin and middle-aged, and seemed in need of a good meat. He bored no resemblance to Lane' s idea of a successful spy. His conversation, confined to trivial observations about the weather, was painfully uninteresting.
A few minutes later he got up and continued on his way. Large picked up the paper which laid on the bench, as if he wanted to look at the news. He was excited to see the plans pinned to the center page. At that moment, however, there was a strong wind which lifted the newspaper into the air, like a kite, and blew it into the river.

Dear Brett,
Welcome back to St.Swithen’s.I look forward to hearing about your adventures in the US.
I’m writing because there have been a lot of changes since you went away, and you need to know about them before you can start work.
The main change is that we have had a new computer system installed.You will need to be trained in using the system before you can see any patients! I’ve arranged for you to have a training session at 10 o’clock on Monday with our IT consultant, Gerry.He’s a really nice guy.
It’s especially important that you can use the patient records system.We’ve had a few teething problems, and it seems complicated at first;but when you get used to it, you’ll find it really helpful.For example, it’s much quicker than the old system.Remember you used to wait ages before the information came up on the screen? Well, now it’s very quick.
You will also need to be familiar with the appointment booking system, so you can see who your next patient is.The new program makes it impossible to double-book a patient, so we shouldn’t get as many complaints as we used to.
As well as the computer system, we’ve also installed a new electronic security door.You will need a special card from reception and it will need replacing every two months.I’m afraid we made Bill redundant.It’s a shame;I used to enjoy talking to him every morning.
Well, I hope you like the improvements.Most people find that it makes their work easier and faster.There is one downside though;the atmosphere has become less personal.I used to talk to everyone a lot, but now we communicate by email most of the time.I even email people who work in the same room as me!
Well, see you on Monday, Brett.Nice to have you back.
Best wishes,
Simon
