He 2 used to live in the country so he 3 is used to living in a more
peaceful environment. His first days in the city were so unpleasant that
he 4 was going to move straight back home, but he found a job and decided to
stay. That’s when I met him. He 5 would come into my office with the coffee
every morning and he 6 would often stop and talk for a while about what his
life 7 used to be like in the country. His family 8 used to have their own vegetable
garden and his mother 9 used to prepare wonderful meals. In autumn they 10 would go
for long walks and they 11 would collect wild mushrooms and fruit. Tom made
it sound so wonderful that, at one point last year, I 12 was going to quit my job
and leave town forever. Bu I didn’t. I 13 was used too to the noise and excitement
of the city to ever feel at home in the country.
