When I was in Germany, one day at Christmas-time I went to a post office to send a letter. To my 41 I found people queuing some paces away from the person at the savings deposit window. 42 so? Each did his business 43 but the line never moved a step 44 . I was very 45 , so I walked to the window to find out the cause.

They avoided putting others in an embarrassing situation. For instance, they never 57 about age, incomes or the place to buy such a coat, 58 would they comment on the others or jewelry others wore. Their laws 59 reading diaries or opening letters without permission. That shows 60 matters are not allowed to be disturbed.
