That sounded __12__ , so I began to search the closet. I thought I tried every __13__ , but no star. I could see grandmother was __14__ , although she tried not to show it.
"What's in this wrapped box?" Mother suddenly called out. "It was at the bottom of father's closet. "
Grandmother took the box in __15__ and opened it. Her face __16__ when she unfolded the paper and pulled out a golden star. There was a( n) __17__ attached.
Don't be angry with me, dear. I broke your star while packing the decorations, and I couldn't __18__ to tell you. Thought it was time for a new one. I hope it brings you as much __19__ as the first one. Merry Christmas!

"Probably can't leave till midnight, " he said.
"How many hours have you put in here each week, eighty or ninety?"
" __11__ , "
"Don't you have time to be with your family at all?"
He shook his head slowly and __12__ a sigh. "It's not what I wanted. But I have worked on it for so long. It's much too __13__ to even think about letting go. "
A year later I resigned②. The __14__ thing I heard about him was that his wife divorced him. Since then I’ve never seen him. But occasionally his aged __15__ would come to my mind.
