It's only me

After her husband had gone to work, Mrs.Richards sent her children to shcool and went upstairs to her bedroom. She was too excited to do any house work that morning, for in the evening she would be going to a fancy-dress party with her husband. She intended to dress up as a ghost and she had made her constum the night before, she was impatient to try it on. Though the costume consisted only of a sheet, it was very effective. After putting it on,Mrs.Richards went downstairs, she went to find out whether it would be comfortable to wear.

　　Just as Mrs.Richards was entering the dinning room, there was a knock on the front door,She knew that it must be the barker, She had told him to come straight in if ever she failed to open the door and to leave the bread on the kitchen table. Not wanting to frighten the poor man, Mrs.Richards quickly hid in the small storeroom under the stairs. She heard the front door open and heavy footsteps in the hall. Suddendly the door of the storeroom was opened and a man entered. Mrs.Richards realized that it must be the man from the Electricity Borad who had come to read the metre. She tried to explain the suitation, saying'It's only me',but it was too late, The man let out a cry and jumped back several pass. When Mrs.Richards walked towards him, he fled,slamming the door behind him.
