our first home．After John returned, we found a home and applied for a War Service Home Loan，which at that time took about six months to come through．
The builder of our home lived in the same street as our house
and he allowed us to move in and pay rent until our loan came 南开大学现代远程教育学院模拟题，第6页

The loan money came through shortly before Christmas．We were not well-off but we were happy to have our own home．One night，two weeks before Christmas，there was a knock at our door．It was our landlord and his wife．We invited them in and our landlord said，“As you know，your loan has come through and you do not have to pay me rent any more．I did not set that rent，the estate agent(房产代理商)did，and I thought it was a bit high．Every time you paid me I put ten shillings away in a box．It came to 11 pounds．”
We were surprised and delighted．To us，it was a small fortune just in time for Christmas．We were able to buy gifts for our entire family．It was the nicest thing anyone had ever done for us and we decided that we would never judge anyone on hearsay．
