The whole village soon learnt that a large sum ofmoney had been lost. Sam Benton, the local butcher, had lost his wallet whiletaking his savings to the post-office. Sam was sure that the wallet must havebeen found by one of the villagers, but it was not returned to him. Threemonths passed, and then one morning, Sam found his wallet outside his frontdoor. It had been wrapped up in newspaper and it contained half the money hehad lost, together with a note which said: 'A thief, yes, 'but only 5o per centa thief!' Two months later, some more money was sent to Sam with another note:'Only 25 per cent a thief now!' In time, all Sam's money was paid back in thisway. The last note said:' I am 100 per cent honest now!'

笔记：

1.知识点

（1）a clear conscience 无愧于心

conscience 良心，道德心

clear在这里的含义为“清白的”、“无罪的”，因此这个短语又可译为“清白的良心”，相当于 a good conscience，反义词为a bad conscience(感到内疚)

（2）butcher 屠夫; 肉贩

（3）In time, all Sam's money was paid back in this way. 很快，萨姆全部的钱都用同样的方式还了回来。

in time可以表示“经过一段时间”或“最终”、“迟早”：In time, he found all the books he needed.一段时间以后，他找到了他需要的所有书。
