Level Fourteen Unit Two
My gentle cousin, a national figure of great beauty, had been in a famous picture. She had prepared breakfast for a newspaper reporter and had been about to pour the coffee when the jug had slipped. The reporter snapped her with a camera, and next morning, people saw her in a terrible mess. From then on she was careful not to waste time being helpful to reporters. beauty
