After Oxford gave him the job, Murray had a small house in his garden to do the work. Every morning, Murray got out of bed at five o'clock and in the small house several hours before breakfast. Often he would work into the night. Murray hoped to finish the new dictionary in ten years. But after five years, he was adding（增加)words for the letter"A"!
