Mail coach did not come to that village so often in those days. People had to pay a lot of money to get a letter. The person who sent the letter did not have to pay. The person who got the letter had to pay the money.
“ Here's a letter for Miss Alice Brown ,” said the mailman. Everyone turned to a girl of about eighteen who was standing by the coach. “I'm Alice Brown ,” she said in a low voice. The mailman gave her the letter.
Alice looked at the envelope for a minute,and then handed it back to the mailman.
“I'm sorry I can't take it, ” she said. “I don't have enough money to pay the postage. ”
The people standing around were very sorry for the girl. They were silent for a while. Then a gentleman came up to the mailman and paid the money for Alice's letter.
