it's too late

Well I went to salvation army. And while I was looking around the furniture... I saw it, it was beautiful, it was plaid, and it was a couch. Then over the next week came begging, very many nos. then last night was a yes and we were going to go get it that night. Well my brother decided to tell me, that night, that he had checked and the couch was gone. I guess it's too late.
