Harry’s girl-friend’s father, Mr. Ford, was a very conservative kind of man. Harry had
known him most of his life, but he seemed to be unusually strict and did not seem to
approve of young people. So Harry didn’t know exactly what to expect when he asked Mr.
Ford if he could marry his daughter.
Harry asked very politely for permission to marry his daughter. There was a long
silence while Mr. Ford looked Harry up and down. Finally, Mr. Ford went over to his desk
and wrote something on a piece of paper. He then pinned the paper to his daughter’s dress
and gently pushed her towards Harry. He then left the room without saying anything.
Harry quickly looked at the note and was both happy and surprised to read it. It said:
“With the compliments of the maker.”
【題組】39. In this story, what does the phrase “with the compliments of the maker” mean?
(A) You cannot marry her. (B) You may marry her.
(C) I do not like you. (D) I hate you.
