Такой беспорядок очень действовал мне на нервы, и я решила выбросить все ненужные вещи. Когда вернулся мой жених и увидел все это, он очень рассердился. Оказалось, что я выбросила его любимые вещи. Он кричал, что от меня одни неприятности, что ему не нужна такая забота, и что с таким же успехом можно было поджечь дом, а не убирать там.
