Louise was 72 years old and she lived by herself．The first thing she noticed when she came downstairs that Sunday morning was that her  _21_  window was open. In fact，it was so wide open that she had  _22_  closing it．Then she realized that things were not in their proper _23_．Finally，when she found her empty  _24_  on the kitchen table，she realized the awful  _25_ ．At first, she didn’t know what to do．Then she decided to _26_  her son，Derek．

Derek’s wife Sybil answered the phone，“It's your mother，”she  _27_  him coldly．Louise told Derek about the open window，about things being in the wrong places and about the  _28_  missing from her purse．

“All right，”said Derek，“Don’t  _29_  anything．I'll be  _30_  in half an hour.”

Louise  _31_  and made herself a pot of tea and some toast．Then she went from room to room wondering  _32_  anything else was missing．

When Derek arrived，he was content to _33_ her looking so calm．“Have you rung the  _34_ ?”he asked.“No? Then I’ll do that straight away．”So he rang the police．

As it was Sunday，_35_ the only detectives were out．However，the police were polite，but vague（含糊的）．“We’ll send  _36_  round as soon as possible，”they said.

Derek telephoned his wife．“I'm not sure when I'll be home，love．”he told her,“I’ve got to _37_  for the police．”While Derek and his mother waited，Derek _38_  the catches（挂钩） on the windows and locks on the doors．All of them were old and some of the catches hardly  _39_ at all．Derek felt _40_．His mother was an old woman，after all．“I'll have to change all these，”he told her．
