L19-1：A very dear cat 

Kidnappers are rarely interested in animals,

but they recently took considerable interest in Mrs. Eleanor Ramsay's cat.

Mrs. Eleanor Ramsay,

a very wealthy old lady,

has shared a flat with her cat, Rastus,

for a great many years.

Rastus leads an orderly life.

He usually takes a short walk in the evenings and is always home by seven o'clock.

One evening, however,

he failed to arrive.

Mrs. Ramsay got very worried.

She looked everywhere for him but could not find him.

Three days after Rastus' disappearance,

Mrs. Ramsay received an anonymous letter.

The writer stated that Rastus was in safe hands and would be returned immediately if Mrs. Ramsay paid a ransom of $1,000.

应用配置：L0+L4
