he had never been beyond the door. but along with that question, and almost thrusting it away, there was a vision of the old home and the old streets leading to lantern y ard\u2014and within that vision another, of the thoughts which had been present with him in those far-off scenes. the thoughts were strange to him now, like old friendships impossible to revive; and yet he had a dreamy feeling that this child was somehow a message come to him from that far-off life: it stirred fibres that had never been moved in raveloe\u2014old quiverings of tenderness\u2014 old impressions of awe at the presentiment of some power presiding over his life; for his imagination had not yet extricated itself from the sense of mystery in the child\u2019s sudden presence, and had formed no conjectures of ordinary natural means by which the event could have been brought about. but there was a cry on the hearth: the child had awaked, and marner stooped to lift it on his knee. it clung round his neck, and burst louder and louder into that mingling of inarticulate cries with \u2018mammy\u2019 by which little children express the bewilderment of waking. silas pressed it to him, and almost unconsciously uttered sounds of hushing tenderness, while he bethought himself that some of his porridge, which had got cool by the dying fire, would do to feed the child with if it were only warmed up a little. he had plenty to do through the next hour. the porridge, sweetened with some dry brown sugar from an old store which he had refrained from using for himself, stopped the cries of the little one, and made her lift her blue eyes with a wide gaze at silas, as he put the spoon into her mouth. presently she slipped from his knee and began to toddle about, but with a ", "23": "23 0486/11/m/j/14 \u00a9 ucles 2014 [turn over55 60pretty stagger that made silas jump up and follow her lest she should fall against anything that would hurt her. but she only fell in a sitting posture on the ground, and began to pull at her boots, looking up at him with a crying face as if the boots hurt her. he took her on his knee again, but it was some time before it occurred to silas\u2019s dull bachelor mind that the wet boots were the grievance, pressing on her warm ankles. he got them off with difficulty, and baby was at once happily occupied with the primary mystery of her own toes, inviting silas, with much chuckling, to consider the mystery too.

that follows it: kingshaw stood on the gate for a long time, looking up the ploughed field ahead. but there was nothing happening, nothing to see. it was too hot, as well. he decided to go inside the church, partly because of that, and also because he had never seen it, it was something to do. the edges of the grass were clipped very short and neat around the gravestones, and the hedge was straight. there were gargoyles on the tower, opening their cold stone mouths at him. kingshaw stuck out his tongue, craning back his head. he would not be afraid of them in the daylight. inside the church, it smelled as though no living, breathing person had ever been there, the air was damp and musty and dead. kingshaw walked slowly down between the pews. the hymn books were in two piles on a chair, with some of the spines and backs hanging off. his footsteps rang on the stone, and then were muffled as he came on to the red carpet by the altar rail. he thought, this is church, this is god and jesus and the holy ghost. after a moment, he dared himself to go and stand on the uneven tiles just inside the chancel. on either side of him, the wood smelled of oldness and polish. he remembered what he had thought and said about hooper, how he had wished him to be dead. now, he was afraid of what would happen, because of that. things came back on you. y ou were never safe. there were the warts, still on his left hand. he knelt down, abruptly, where he was, and began to say, o god, i didn\u2019t mean it \u2013 yes, i did, i did mean it, only now i don\u2019t mean it, i want to take it back and never to have thought and said it, and if i\u2019m sorry, make nothing happen to me, make it all be forgotten about. i am trying to be sorry. but he did not think it likely that he could ever be believed, nothing could change, because he had meant what he thought and said about hooper, and still meant it. it was only being afraid of this empty church, and of the white marble warrior lying on his tombstone in the side chapel, that made him kneel down and tell lies. it was no good. he had wanted hooper to be dead, because then things would have been better. his punishment was that hooper was not dead, that everything was the same, and the thought of that was worse than anything. he acknowledged that he feared hooper more than he feared anything in the world. please make nothing happen, please make it all right and i will never, never want anything else again, o god \u2026 his knees were hurting from the hard tiles. he wanted to get out into the sunlight. \u2018what\u2019s

him. my inability to remember names, or follow the minutiae of politics, my struggles with his language, my need to be protected from the sun, the mosquitoes, the salads, the drinking water. he was back home, and he needed someone he could be at home with, at home. it took perhaps a year. his heart was broken in two, mine was simply broken. i never see my lover now. sometimes, as he romps with lucy on the beach, or bends over her grazed elbow, or sits across our long table from me at a dinner-party, i see a man i could yet fall in love with, and i turn away. i told him too about my first

surely?\u2019 he gave me a sidelong glance and smiled. soon, i should hear lucy\u2019s high, clear voice, chattering to her father as they walk hand in hand up the gravel drive to the back door. behind them will come the heavy tread of um sabir. i will go out smiling to meet them and he will deliver a wet, sandy lucy into my care, and ask if i\u2019m ok with a slightly anxious look. i will take lucy into my bathroom while he goes into his. later, when the rest of the family have all drifted back and showered and changed, everyone will sit around the barbecue and eat and drink and talk

\u2018y es,\u2019 i said with great calmness and great authority to my face in the bathroom mirror. \u2018y es.\u2019 there were three days to go. then there occurred one of those things that must happen every day in the world of big business, but when you\u2019re thirteen it knocks you for a loop. boy magazine sent me a telegram. it was the first telegram i had ever received in my life, and about the third that had ever come to our house. my mother opened it straight away. she told everyone in our street about it. she phoned uncles, aunts, sisters, brothers, and finally, when i came home from school, she told me. i was furious. i shouted, \u2018i told you never under any circumstances to open my mail!\u2019 \u2018but a telegram,\u2019 my mother said. \u2018a telegram is mail,\u2019 i said. \u2018and mail is a personal, private thing. where is it?\u2019 my mother had folded it four times and put it in her purse and her purse in her bag and her bag in her wardrobe which she had locked. she stood by my side and watched me while i read it. \u2018nu?\u2019 she said. \u2018it\u2019s nothing,\u2019 i said. and it wasn\u2019t. miss gordon had suddenly discovered that the editor was going to be out of town on my appointment day, and would i kindly phone and make another appointment? i did, standing on tiptoe and shouting as before. explore the ways in which lurie makes this extract so amusing. or \u202035 what makes the rain horse (by ted hughes) so shocking? support your ideas with details from the writing. or 36 y ou are lord emsworth in the custody of the pumpkin . y ou have just finished talking with mr donaldson of donaldson\u2019s dog-biscuits. write your thoughts.55 60 65 70 75 80", "28": "28 0486/12/m/j/14 \u00a9 ucles 2014copyright acknowledgements: question 1 \u00a9 all my sons. \u00a9 1947, arthur miller. reproduced by permission. all rights reserved. question 19 \u00a9 nervous conditions ; \u00a9 1988, tsitsi dangarembga; reproduced by permission of ayebia clarke publishing. question 22 \u00a9 fasting, feasting ; \u00a9 1999, anita desai; reproduced by permission of the author c/o rogers, coleridge & white ltd., 20 powis mews, london w11 1jn, from vintage. reprinted by permission of the random house group ltd. question 25 \u00a9 hullabaloo in the guava orchard ; \u00a9 1998, kiran desai; faber & faber ltd. question 31 \u00a9 susan hill; i\u2019m the king of the castle ; penguin books ltd; 1973. question 34 \u00a9 morris lurie; my greatest ambition , in stories of ourselves ; cambridge university press; 2008. permission to reproduce items where third-party owned material protected by copyright is included has been sought and cleared where possible. every reasonable effort has been made by the publisher (ucles) to trace copyright holders, but if any items requiring clearance have unwittingly been included, the publisher will be pleased to make amends at the earliest possible opportunity. cambridge international examinations is part of the cambridge assessment group. cambridge assessment is the brand name of university of cambridge local examinations syndicate (ucles), which is itself a department of the university of cambridge.blank page" }, "0486_s14_qp_13.pdf": { "1": "this document consists of 24 printed pages, 4 blank pages and 1 insert. dc (st) 103136 \u00a9 ucles 2014 [turn overcambridge international examinations cambridge international general certificate of secondary education * 5 9 7 1 7 9 0 9 1 0 *literature (english) 0486/13 paper 1 may/june 2014 2 hours 15 minutes texts studied should be taken into the examination. read these instructions first an answer booklet is provided inside this question paper. y ou should follow the instructions on the front cover of the answer booklet. if you need additional answer paper ask the invigilator for a continuation booklet. answer three questions: one question from section a, one question from section b, and one question from section c. answer at least one passage-based question (marked *) and at least one essay question (marked \u2020). all questions in this paper carry equal marks.", "2": "2 0486/13/m/j/14 \u00a9 ucles 2014blank page", "3": "3 0486/13/m/j/14 \u00a9 ucles 2014 [turn overcontents section a: drama text\t question \t numbers\t page[s] arthur miller: all my sons *1, \u20202, 3 pages 4\u20135 wiliiam shakespeare: julius caesar *4, \u20205, 6 pages 6\u20137 wiliiam shakespeare: the tempest *7, \u20208, 9 pages 8\u20139 oscar wilde: the importance of being earnest *10, \u202011, 12 pages 10\u201311 section b: poetry text\t question \t numbers\t page[s] thomas hardy: selected poems *13, \u202014, \u202015 page 12 songs of ourselves : from part 4 *16, \u202017, \u202018 page 13 section c: prose text\t question \t numbers\t page[s] tsitsi dangarembga: nervous conditions *19, \u202020, 21 pages 14\u201315 anita desai: fasting, feasting *22, \u202023, 24 pages 16\u201317 kiran desai: hullabaloo in the guava orchard *25, \u202026, 27 pages 18\u201319 george eliot: silas marner *28, \u202029, 30 pages 20\u201321 susan hill: i\u2019m the king of the castle *31, \u202032, 33 pages 22\u201323 from stories of ourselves *34, \u202035, 36 pages 24\u201325", "4": "4 0486/13/m/j/14 \u00a9 ucles 2014section a: drama arthur miller: all\tmy\tsons either *1 read this extract, and then answer the question that follows it: jim: where\u2019s your tobacco?

but in a little while, going along like that in silence made him terribly aware of the strength and the sternness in her; he began to wonder what she was thinking of as she stared ahead so grimly; she seemed to have forgotten that he walked beside her; so when they were passing under the sixth avenue elevated 1 and the rumble of the train seemed to break the silence, he said in his old, blustering way, \u2018thank god it turned out like that. i certainly won\u2019t get in a jam like that again.\u2019 \u2018be quiet. don\u2019t speak to me. y ou\u2019ve disgraced me again and again,\u2019 she said bitterly. \u2018that\u2019s the last time. that\u2019s all i\u2019m saying.\u2019\u2018have the decency to be quiet,\u2019 she snapped. they kept on their way, looking straight ahead. when they were at home and his mother took off her coat, alfred saw that she was really only half-dressed, and she made him feel afraid again when she said, without even looking at him, \u2018y ou\u2019re a bad lot. god forgive you. it\u2019s one thing after another and always has been. why do you stand there stupidly? go to bed, why don\u2019t you?\u2019 when he was going, she said, \u2018i\u2019m going to make myself a cup of tea. mind, now, not a word about tonight to your father.\u2019 while alfred was undressing in his bedroom, he heard his mother moving around the kitchen. she filled the kettle and put it on the stove. she moved a chair. and as he listened there was no shame in him, just wonder and a kind of admiration of her strength and repose. he could still see sam carr nodding his head encouragingly to her; he could hear her talking simply and earnestly, and as he sat on his bed he felt a pride in her strength. \u2018she certainly was smooth,\u2019 he thought. \u2018gee, i\u2019d like to tell her she sounded swell.\u2019 and at last he got up and went along to the kitchen, and when he was at the door he saw his mother pouring herself a cup of tea. he watched and he didn\u2019t move. her face, as she sat there, was a frightened, broken face utterly unlike the face of the woman who had been so assured a little while ago in the drugstore. 2 when she reached out and lifted the kettle to pour hot water in her cup, her hand trembled and the water splashed on the stove. leaning back in the chair, she sighed and lifted the cup to her lips, and her lips were groping loosely as if they would never reach the cup. she swallowed the hot tea eagerly, and then she straightened up in relief, though her hand holding the cup still trembled. she looked very old. it seemed to alfred that this was the way it had been every time he had been in trouble before, that this trembling had really been in her as she hurried out half-dressed to the drugstore. now he felt all that his mother had been thinking of as they walked along the street together a little while ago. he watched his mother, and he never spoke, but at that moment his youth seemed to be over;

he had never been beyond the door. but along with that question, and almost thrusting it away, there was a vision of the old home and the old streets leading to lantern y ard\u2014and within that vision another, of the thoughts which had been present with him in those far-off scenes. the thoughts were strange to him now, like old friendships impossible to revive; and yet he had a dreamy feeling that this child was somehow a message come to him from that far-off life: it stirred fibres that had never been moved in raveloe\u2014old quiverings of tenderness\u2014 old impressions of awe at the presentiment of some power presiding over his life; for his imagination had not yet extricated itself from the sense of mystery in the child\u2019s sudden presence, and had formed no conjectures of ordinary natural means by which the event could have been brought about. but there was a cry on the hearth: the child had awaked, and marner stooped to lift it on his knee. it clung round his neck, and burst louder and louder into that mingling of inarticulate cries with \u2018mammy\u2019 by which little children express the bewilderment of waking. silas pressed it to him, and almost unconsciously uttered sounds of hushing tenderness, while he bethought himself that some of his porridge, which had got cool by the dying fire, would do to feed the child with if it were only warmed up a little. he had plenty to do through the next hour. the porridge, sweetened with some dry brown sugar from an old store which he had refrained from using for himself, stopped the cries of the little one, and made her lift her blue eyes with a wide gaze at silas, as he put the spoon into her mouth. presently she slipped from his knee and began to toddle about, but with a ", "23": "23 0486/41/m/j/14 \u00a9 ucles 2014 [turn over55 60pretty stagger that made silas jump up and follow her lest she should fall against anything that would hurt her. but she only fell in a sitting posture on the ground, and began to pull at her boots, looking up at him with a crying face as if the boots hurt her. he took her on his knee again, but it was some time before it occurred to silas\u2019s dull bachelor mind that the wet boots were the grievance, pressing on her warm ankles. he got them off with difficulty, and baby was at once happily occupied with the primary mystery of her own toes, inviting silas, with much chuckling, to consider the mystery too.

that follows it: kingshaw stood on the gate for a long time, looking up the ploughed field ahead. but there was nothing happening, nothing to see. it was too hot, as well. he decided to go inside the church, partly because of that, and also because he had never seen it, it was something to do. the edges of the grass were clipped very short and neat around the gravestones, and the hedge was straight. there were gargoyles on the tower, opening their cold stone mouths at him. kingshaw stuck out his tongue, craning back his head. he would not be afraid of them in the daylight. inside the church, it smelled as though no living, breathing person had ever been there, the air was damp and musty and dead. kingshaw walked slowly down between the pews. the hymn books were in two piles on a chair, with some of the spines and backs hanging off. his footsteps rang on the stone, and then were muffled as he came on to the red carpet by the altar rail. he thought, this is church, this is god and jesus and the holy ghost. after a moment, he dared himself to go and stand on the uneven tiles just inside the chancel. on either side of him, the wood smelled of oldness and polish. he remembered what he had thought and said about hooper, how he had wished him to be dead. now, he was afraid of what would happen, because of that. things came back on you. y ou were never safe. there were the warts, still on his left hand. he knelt down, abruptly, where he was, and began to say, o god, i didn\u2019t mean it \u2013 yes, i did, i did mean it, only now i don\u2019t mean it, i want to take it back and never to have thought and said it, and if i\u2019m sorry, make nothing happen to me, make it all be forgotten about. i am trying to be sorry. but he did not think it likely that he could ever be believed, nothing could change, because he had meant what he thought and said about hooper, and still meant it. it was only being afraid of this empty church, and of the white marble warrior lying on his tombstone in the side chapel, that made him kneel down and tell lies. it was no good. he had wanted hooper to be dead, because then things would have been better. his punishment was that hooper was not dead, that everything was the same, and the thought of that was worse than anything. he acknowledged that he feared hooper more than he feared anything in the world. please make nothing happen, please make it all right and i will never, never want anything else again, o god \u2026 his knees were hurting from the hard tiles. he wanted to get out into the sunlight. \u2018what\u2019s

back home, and he needed someone he could be at home with, at home. it took perhaps a year. his heart was broken in two, mine was simply broken. i never see my lover now. sometimes, as he romps with lucy on the beach, or bends over her grazed elbow, or sits across our long table from me at a dinner-party, i see a man i could yet fall in love with, and i turn away. i told him too about my first

surely?\u2019 he gave me a sidelong glance and smiled. soon, i should hear lucy\u2019s high, clear voice, chattering to her father as they walk hand in hand up the gravel drive to the back door. behind them will come the heavy tread of um sabir. i will go out smiling to meet them and he will deliver a wet, sandy lucy into my care, and ask if i\u2019m ok with a slightly anxious look. i will take lucy into my bathroom while he goes into his. later, when the rest of the family have all drifted back and showered and changed, everyone will sit around the barbecue and eat and drink and talk

\u2018y es,\u2019 i said with great calmness and great authority to my face in the bathroom mirror. \u2018y es.\u2019 there were three days to go. then there occurred one of those things that must happen every day in the world of big business, but when you\u2019re thirteen it knocks you for a loop. boy magazine sent me a telegram. it was the first telegram i had ever received in my life, and about the third that had ever come to our house. my mother opened it straight away. she told everyone in our street about it. she phoned uncles, aunts, sisters, brothers, and finally, when i came home from school, she told me. i was furious. i shouted, \u2018i told you never under any circumstances to open my mail!\u2019 \u2018but a telegram,\u2019 my mother said.\u2018a telegram is mail,\u2019 i said. \u2018and mail is a personal, private thing. where is it?\u2019 my mother had folded it four times and put it in her purse and her purse in her bag and her bag in her wardrobe which she had locked. she stood by my side and watched me while i read it. \u2018nu?\u2019 she said.\u2018it\u2019s nothing,\u2019 i said.and it wasn\u2019t. miss gordon had suddenly discovered that the editor was going to be out of town on my appointment day, and would i kindly phone and make another appointment?

and then came the horrible part of the thing; for the man trampled calmly over the child\u2019s body and left her screaming on the ground. it sounds nothing to hear, but it was hellish to see. it wasn\u2019t like a man; it was like some damned juggernaut. i gave a view halloa, took to my heels, collared my gentleman, and brought him back to where there was already quite a group about the screaming child. he was perfectly cool and made no resistance, but gave me one look, so ugly that it brought out the sweat on me like running. the people who had turned out were the girl\u2019s own family; and pretty soon, the doctor, for whom she had been sent, put in his appearance. well, the child was not much the worse, more frightened, according to the sawbones; and there you might have supposed would be an end to it. but there was one curious circumstance. i had taken a loathing to my gentleman at first sight. so had the child\u2019s family, which was only natural. but the doctor\u2019s case was what struck me. he was the usual cut and dry apothecary, of no particular age and colour, with a strong edinburgh accent, and about as emotional as a bagpipe. well, sir, he was like the rest of us; every time he looked at my prisoner, i saw that sawbones turn sick and white with the desire to kill him. i knew what was in his mind, just as he knew what was in mine; and killing being out of the question, we did the next best. we told the man we could and would make such a scandal out of this, as should make his name stink from one end of london to the other. if he had any friends or any credit, we undertook that he should lose them. and all the time, as we were pitching it in red hot, we were keeping the women off him as best we could, for they were as wild as harpies. i never saw a circle of such hateful faces; and there was the man in the middle, with a kind of black, sneering coolness\u2014frightened too, i could see that\u2014but carrying it off, sir, really like satan. \u2018if you choose to make capital out of this accident,\u2019 said he, \u2018i am naturally helpless. no gentleman but wishes to avoid a scene,\u2019 says he. \u2018name your figure.\u2019 well, we screwed him up to a hundred pounds for the child\u2019s family;

but the signature was good for more than that, if it was only genuine. i took the liberty of pointing out to my gentleman that the whole business looked apocryphal, and that a man does not, in real life, walk into a cellar door at four in the morning and come out of it with 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50", "11": "11 0486/51/m/j/14 \u00a9 ucles 2014 [turn overanother man\u2019s cheque for close upon a hundred pounds. but he was quite easy and sneering. \u2018set your mind at rest,\u2019 says he, \u2018i will stay with you till the banks open and cash the cheque myself.\u2019 so we all set off, the doctor, and the child\u2019s father, and our friend and myself, and passed the rest of the night in my chambers;

it was snuffed and extinguished in one. a lamp could not have expired with more awful effect. catherine, for a few moments, was motionless with horror. it was done completely; not a remnant of light in the wick could give hope to the rekindling breath. darkness impenetrable and immoveable filled the room. a violent gust of wind, rising with sudden fury, added fresh horror to the moment. catherine trembled from head to foot. in the pause which succeeded, a sound like receding footsteps and the closing of a distant door struck on her affrighted ear. human nature could support no more. a cold sweat stood on her forehead, the manuscript fell from her hand, and groping her way to the bed, she jumped hastily in, and sought some suspension of agony by creeping far underneath the clothes. to close her eyes in sleep that night, she felt must be entirely out of the question. with a curiosity so justly awakened, and feelings in every way so agitated, repose must be absolutely impossible. the storm too abroad so dreadful!

every time he looked at my prisoner, i saw that sawbones turn sick and white with the desire to kill him. i knew what was in his mind, just as he knew what was in mine; and killing being out of the question, we did the next best. we told the man we could and would make such a scandal out of this, as should make his name stink from one end of london to the other. if he had any friends or any credit, we undertook that he should lose them. and all the time, as we were pitching it in red hot, we were keeping the women off him as best we could, for they were as wild as harpies. i never saw a circle of such hateful faces; and there was the man in the middle, with a kind of black, sneering coolness\u2014frightened too, i could see that\u2014but carrying it off, sir, really like satan. \u2018if you choose to make capital out of this accident,\u2019 said he, \u2018i am naturally helpless. no gentleman but wishes to avoid a scene,\u2019 says he. \u2018name your figure.\u2019 well, we screwed him up to a hundred pounds for the child\u2019s family; he would have clearly liked to stick out; but there was something about the lot of us that meant mischief, and at last he struck. the next thing was to get the money; and where do you think he carried us but to that place with the door?\u2014whipped out a key, went in, and presently came back with the matter of ten pounds in gold and a cheque for the balance on coutts\u2019s, drawn payable to bearer and signed with a name that i can\u2019t mention, though it\u2019s one of the points of my story, but it was a name at least very well known and often printed. the figure was stiff; but the signature was good for more than that, if it was only genuine. i took the liberty of pointing out to my gentleman that the whole business looked apocryphal, and that a man does not, in real life, walk into a cellar door at four in the morning and come out of it with 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50", "11": "11 0486/53/m/j/14 \u00a9 ucles 2014 [turn overanother man\u2019s cheque for close upon a hundred pounds. but he was quite easy and sneering. \u2018set your mind at rest,\u2019 says he, \u2018i will stay with you till the banks open and cash the cheque myself.\u2019 so we all set off, the doctor, and the child\u2019s father, and our friend and myself, and passed the rest of the night in my chambers;

sophy did not go, but one of the others did, and things went on quietly again. when mr twycott, the vicar, was ill, sophy brought up his meals to him, and she had no sooner left the room one day than he heard a noise on the stairs. she had slipped down with the tray, and so twisted her foot that she could not stand. the village surgeon was called in; the vicar got better, but sophy was incapacitated for a long time; and she was informed that she must never again walk much or engage in any occupation which required her to stand long on her feet. as soon as she was comparatively well she spoke to him alone. since she was forbidden to walk and bustle about, and, indeed, could not do so, it became her duty to leave. she could very well work at something sitting down, and she had an aunt a seamstress. the parson had been very greatly moved by what she had suffered on his account, and he exclaimed, \u2018no, sophy; lame or not lame, i cannot let you go. y ou must never leave me again!\u2019 he came close to her, and, though she could never exactly tell how it happened, she became conscious of his lips upon her cheek. he then asked her to marry him. sophy did not exactly love him, but she had a respect for him which almost amounted to veneration. even if she had wished to get away from him she hardly dared refuse a personage so reverend and august in her eyes, and she assented forthwith to be his wife. thus it happened that one fine morning, when the doors of the church were naturally open for ventilation, and the singing birds fluttered in and alighted on the tie-beams of the roof, there was a marriage-service 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50", "25": "25 0486/11/o/n/14 \u00a9 ucles 2014at the communion-rails, which hardly a soul knew of. the parson and a neighbouring curate had entered at one door, and sophy at another, followed by two necessary persons, whereupon in a short time there emerged a newly-made husband and wife. mr twycott knew perfectly well that he had committed social suicide by this step, despite sophy\u2019s spotless character, and he had taken his measures accordingly. an exchange of livings had been arranged with an acquaintance who was incumbent of a church in the south of london, and as soon as possible the couple removed thither, abandoning their pretty country home, with trees and shrubs and glebe, for a narrow, dusty house in a long, straight street, and their fine peal of bells for the wretchedest one-tongued clangour that ever tortured mortal ears. it was all on her account. they were, however, away from every one who had known her former position; and also under less observation from without than they would have had to put up with in any country parish. sophy the woman was as charming a partner as a man could possess, though sophy the lady had her deficiencies. she showed a natural aptitude for little domestic refinements, so far as related to things and manners; but in what is called culture she was less intuitive. she had now been married more than fourteen years, and her husband had taken much trouble with her education; but she still held confused ideas on the use of \u2018was\u2019 and \u2018were\u2019, which did not beget a respect for her among the few acquaintances she made. her great grief in this relation was that her only child, on whose education no expense had been and would be spared, was now old enough to perceive these deficiencies in his mother, and not only to see them but to feel irritated at their existence. how does hardy make you feel sympathetic towards sophy here?

dangerous task of all, out in the open at the edge of the bomb-site. summers was sent to watch the road for passers by, and mr thomas, sitting on the loo, heard clearly now the sound of sawing. it no

he was vaguely aware of a voice shouting, but it didn\u2019t concern him. at last the engine responded and he backed the lorry until it touched the great wooden shore that supported mr thomas\u2019s house. that way he could drive right out and down the street without reversing. the lorry moved forward, was momentarily checked as though something were pulling it from behind, and then went on to the sound of a long rumbling crash. the driver was astonished to see bricks bouncing ahead of him, while stones hit the roof of his cab. he put on his brakes. when he climbed out the whole landscape had suddenly altered. there was no house beside the car-park, only a hill of rubble. he went round and examined the back of his car for damage, and found a rope tied there that was still twisted at the other end round part of a wooden strut. the driver again became aware of somebody shouting. it came from the wooden erection which was the nearest thing to a house in that desolation of broken brick. the driver climbed the smashed wall and unlocked the door. mr thomas came out of the loo. he was wearing a grey blanket to which flakes of pastry adhered. he gave a sobbing cry. \u2018my

ucles 2014or 2 read carefully this extract from a novel. tsotsi, a street gangster, is following a beggar without legs called morris tshabalala. tsotsi is intending to rob him. he has done this kind of thing many times before. how does the writing bring to life tsotsi\u2019s changing feelings? to help you answer this question, you might consider: \u2022 how the writing communicates suspense as tsotsi follows his intended victim \u2022 how tsotsi comes to understand why he did not rob him \u2022 the impact of this scene and the effect that the writer\u2019s language has on you. tsotsi knew that something was happening to him. but when he discovered the real nature of the feeling it had gone so far it was too late to do anything about it. they had stopped again. it was obvious why. but maybe even if that dark little side street hadn\u2019t been there the cripple would still have stopped, because he needed the rest. he looked even more like a dog when he was out of breath. his body had the same rhythmic up and down movement as when it panted. at that distance \u2013 tsotsi was still on the opposite side \u2013 the light sometimes played tricks on his eyes and he imagined he saw a long tongue lolling out of the bent head. when he looked up, either to see down the side street or at tsotsi across the road, or back over his shoulder, you thought he was going to howl, the way dogs did in the townships, sitting on their haunches in the empty streets when the moon was bright. one short and dark side street, and the cripple too frightened to crawl into it. he was right of course, tsotsi knew that. if the cripple moved down it, the time would have come to act. while he watched the cripple and waited, tsotsi kept saying to himself: i don\u2019t know you, not from nowhere, so what do i care. just you make a move. i don\u2019t care a damn thing for you. it had never been necessary to say this to himself before. he had to now, and it was because of the feeling. tsotsi had a growing presentiment1 of its nature, but it was not yet fully revealed. at that moment he still knew it only by its hidden working in his body. it was there as a lethargy2 in his legs that should have been stiff and ready to run when the moment came, as a tiredness in his fingers that would have to be even quicker if he was forced to use his knife. above all else it was there as a desire \u2013 and even that in its way was dull and only half-formed \u2013 that it would be better if the cripple didn\u2019t move, if neither of them moved at all, and all of the time to come rushed past like the motor cars, leaving him against the wall and the cripple on his corner. the full truth of what had happened to him came when the old car stalled and was pushed to the corner and he saw his man escape in its wake. he did care. regardless of what he had been saying to himself a few minutes ago, he did care. there was no possibility of doubt or of arguing it away. when morris tshabalala crawled off behind the car, tsotsi experienced a spasm of relief. he couldn\u2019t believe it of himself. he shook his head the way donkeys do to dislodge a troublesome swarm of flies. he cleared his throat and spat onto the pavement as if there were a galling taste in his mouth. he even closed his eyes and dropped his head back against the wall as if he had decided to sleep and forget the episode. the truth persisted. his man had escaped into a few more hours of troubled living and he was desperately glad. it was obvious now what had been happening to him as he followed morris tshabalala down the main street. he was also right in thinking it had never happened before. he had felt for his victim. 1 presentiment: anticipation of a future event 2 lethargy: tiredness", "5": "5

story of his boyhood as an orphan living on a remote farm with his grandparents in nebraska, usa, towards the end of the nineteenth century. \u00e1ntonia (or \u2018tony\u2019) is part of a bohemian immigrant family, and speaks broken english with a heavy accent. both children are about eleven years old. the passage describes the killing of a large and poisonous rattlesnake. how does the writer make jim\u2019s encounter with the snake both dramatic and significant for the boy? to help you answer this question, you might consider: \u0081 the way the writer portrays jim\u2019s initial response to the snake, and how he kills it \u0081 how she shows \u00e1ntonia\u2019s influence on jim\u2019s feelings about the snake \u0081 how the writer shows how jim\u2019s feelings have changed when he looks back at what happened. we were examining a big hole with two entrances. the burrow sloped into the ground at a gentle angle, so that we could see where the two corridors united, and the floor was dusty from use, like a little highway over which much travel went. i was walking backward, in a crouching position, when i heard \u00e1ntonia scream. she was standing opposite me, pointing behind me and shouting something in bohemian 1. i whirled round, and there, on one of those dry gravel beds, was the biggest snake i had ever seen. he was sunning himself, after the cold night, and he must have been asleep when \u00e1ntonia screamed. when i turned, he was lying in long loose waves, like a letter \u2018w\u2019. he twitched and began to coil slowly. he was not merely a big snake, i thought \u2013 he was a circus monstrosity. his abominable muscularity, his loathsome, fluid motion, somehow made me sick. he was as thick as my leg, and looked as if millstones couldn\u2019t crush the disgusting vitality out of him. he lifted his hideous little head, and rattled. i didn\u2019t run because i didn\u2019t think of it \u2013 if my back had been against a stone wall i couldn\u2019t have felt more cornered. i saw his coils tighten \u2013 now he would spring, spring his length, i remembered. i ran up and drove at his head with my spade, struck him fairly across the neck, and in a minute he was all about my feet in wavy loops. i struck now from hate. \u00e1ntonia, barefooted as she was, ran up behind me. even after i had pounded his ugly head flat, his body kept on coiling and winding, doubling and falling back on itself. i walked away and turned my back. i felt seasick. \u00e1ntonia came after me, crying, \u2018o jimmy, he not bite you? y ou sure? why you not run when i say?\u2019 \u2018what did you jabber bohunk 2 for? y ou might have told me there was a snake behind me!\u2019 i said petulantly. \u2018i know i am just awful, jim, i was so scared.\u2019 she took my handkerchief from my pocket and tried to wipe my face with it, but i snatched it away from her. i suppose i looked as sick as i felt. \u2018i never know you was so brave, jim,\u2019 she went on comfortingly. \u2018y ou is just like big mans; you wait for him lift his head and then you go for him. ain\u2019t you feel scared a bit? now we take that snake home and show everybody. nobody ain\u2019t seen in this kawn-tree 3 so big snake like you kill.\u2019 she went on in this strain until i began to think that i had longed for this opportunity, and had hailed it with joy. cautiously we went back to the snake; he was still groping with his tail, turning up his ugly belly in the light. a faint, fetid smell came from him, and a thread of green liquid oozed from his crushed head. \u2018look, tony, that\u2019s his poison,\u2019 i said.i took a long piece of string from my pocket, and she lifted his head with the spade while i tied a noose around it. we pulled him out straight and measured him ", "5": "5 0486/33/o/n/14 \u00a9 ucles 2014by my riding-quirt4; he was about five and a half feet long. he had twelve rattles, but they were broken off before they began to taper, so i insisted that he must once have had twenty-four. i explained to \u00e1ntonia how this meant that he was twenty-four years old, that he must have been there when white men first came, left on from buffalo and indian times 5. as i turned him over, i began to feel proud of him, to have a kind of respect for his age and size. he seemed like the ancient, eldest evil. certainly his kind have left horrible unconscious memories in all warm-blooded life. when we dragged him down into the draw 6, dude7 sprang off to the end of his tether and shivered all over \u2013 wouldn\u2019t let us come near him. we decided that \u00e1ntonia should ride dude home, and i would walk. as she rode along slowly, her bare legs swinging against the pony\u2019s sides, she kept shouting back to me about how astonished everybody would be. i followed with the spade over my shoulder, dragging my snake. her exultation was contagious. the great land had never looked to me so big and free. if the red grass were full of rattlers, i was equal to them all. nevertheless, i stole furtive glances behind me now and then to see that no avenging mate, older and bigger than my quarry, was racing up from the rear. we hung him up to the windmill, and when i went down to the kitchen, i found \u00e1ntonia standing in the middle of the floor, telling the story with a great deal of colour. subsequent experiences with rattlesnakes taught me that my first encounter was fortunate in circumstance. my big rattler was old, and had led too easy a life; there was not much fight in him. he had probably lived there for years, with a fat prairie-dog 8 for breakfast whenever he felt like it, a sheltered home, even an owl- feather bed, perhaps, and he had forgot that the world doesn\u2019t owe rattlers a living. a snake of his size, in fighting trim, would be more than any boy could handle. so in reality it was a mock adventure; the game was fixed for me by chance, as it probably was for many a dragon-slayer. i had been adequately armed; the snake was old and lazy; and i had \u00e1ntonia beside me, to appreciate and admire. that snake hung on our corral 9 fence for several days; some of the neighbours came to see it and agreed that it was the biggest rattler ever killed in those parts. this was enough for \u00e1ntonia. she liked me better from that time on, and she never took a supercilious 10 air with me again. i had killed a big snake \u2013 i was now a big fellow. 1bohemian: from bohemia, now part of the czech republic 2bohunk (slang) : in bohemian language (in czech) 3kawn-tree:

sophy did not go, but one of the others did, and things went on quietly again. when mr twycott, the vicar, was ill, sophy brought up his meals to him, and she had no sooner left the room one day than he heard a noise on the stairs. she had slipped down with the tray, and so twisted her foot that she could not stand. the village surgeon was called in; the vicar got better, but sophy was incapacitated for a long time; and she was informed that she must never again walk much or engage in any occupation which required her to stand long on her feet. as soon as she was comparatively well she spoke to him alone. since she was forbidden to walk and bustle about, and, indeed, could not do so, it became her duty to leave. she could very well work at something sitting down, and she had an aunt a seamstress. the parson had been very greatly moved by what she had suffered on his account, and he exclaimed, \u2018no, sophy; lame or not lame, i cannot let you go. y ou must never leave me again!\u2019 he came close to her, and, though she could never exactly tell how it happened, she became conscious of his lips upon her cheek. he then asked her to marry him. sophy did not exactly love him, but she had a respect for him which almost amounted to veneration. even if she had wished to get away from him she hardly dared refuse a personage so reverend and august in her eyes, and she assented forthwith to be his wife. thus it happened that one fine morning, when the doors of the church were naturally open for ventilation, and the singing birds fluttered in and alighted on the tie-beams of the roof, there was a marriage-service 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50", "25": "25 0486/41/o/n/14 \u00a9 ucles 2014at the communion-rails, which hardly a soul knew of. the parson and a neighbouring curate had entered at one door, and sophy at another, followed by two necessary persons, whereupon in a short time there emerged a newly-made husband and wife. mr twycott knew perfectly well that he had committed social suicide by this step, despite sophy\u2019s spotless character, and he had taken his measures accordingly. an exchange of livings had been arranged with an acquaintance who was incumbent of a church in the south of london, and as soon as possible the couple removed thither, abandoning their pretty country home, with trees and shrubs and glebe, for a narrow, dusty house in a long, straight street, and their fine peal of bells for the wretchedest one-tongued clangour that ever tortured mortal ears. it was all on her account. they were, however, away from every one who had known her former position; and also under less observation from without than they would have had to put up with in any country parish. sophy the woman was as charming a partner as a man could possess, though sophy the lady had her deficiencies. she showed a natural aptitude for little domestic refinements, so far as related to things and manners; but in what is called culture she was less intuitive. she had now been married more than fourteen years, and her husband had taken much trouble with her education; but she still held confused ideas on the use of \u2018was\u2019 and \u2018were\u2019, which did not beget a respect for her among the few acquaintances she made. her great grief in this relation was that her only child, on whose education no expense had been and would be spared, was now old enough to perceive these deficiencies in his mother, and not only to see them but to feel irritated at their existence. how does hardy make you feel sympathetic towards sophy here?

worrying at the mortar between the bricks. they started too high, and it was blackie who hit on the damp course and realised the work could be halved if they weakened the joints immediately above. it was a long, tiring, unamusing job, but at last it was finished. the gutted house stood there balanced on a few inches of mortar between the damp course and the bricks. there remained the most dangerous task of all, out in the open at the edge of the bomb-site. summers was sent to watch the road for passers by, and mr thomas, sitting on the loo, heard clearly now the sound of sawing. it no longer came from his house, and that a little reassured him. he felt less concerned. perhaps the other noises too had no significance. a voice spoke to him through the hole. \u2018mr thomas.\u2019

an owl hooted and made away again on its muffled flight through the soundless world. at seven next morning the driver came to fetch his lorry. he climbed into the seat and tried to start the engine. he was vaguely aware of a voice shouting, but it didn\u2019t concern him. at last the engine responded and he backed the lorry until it touched the great wooden shore that supported mr thomas\u2019s house. that way he could drive right out and down the street without reversing. the lorry moved forward, was momentarily checked as though something were pulling it from behind, and then went on to the sound of a long rumbling crash. the driver was astonished to see bricks bouncing ahead of him, while stones hit the roof of his cab. he put on his brakes. when he climbed out the whole landscape had suddenly altered. there was no house beside the car-park, only a hill of rubble. he went round and examined the back of his car for damage, and found a rope tied there that was still twisted at the other end round part of a wooden strut. the driver again became aware of somebody shouting. it came from the wooden erection which was the nearest thing to a house in that desolation of broken brick. the driver climbed the smashed wall and unlocked the door. mr thomas came out of the loo. he was wearing a grey blanket to which flakes of pastry adhered. he gave a sobbing cry. \u2018my

the only offence against him of which she could accuse herself, had been such as was scarcely possible to reach his knowledge. henry and her own heart only were privy to the shocking suspicions which she had so idly entertained; and equally safe did she believe her secret with each. designedly, at least, henry could not have betrayed her. if, indeed, by any strange mischance his father should have gained intelligence of what she had dared to think and look for, of her causeless fancies and injurious examinations, she could not wonder at any degree of his indignation. if aware of her having viewed him as a murderer, she could not wonder at his even turning her from his house. but a justification so full of torture to herself, she trusted would not be in his power. anxious as were all her conjectures on this point, it was not, however, the one on which she dwelt most. there was a thought yet nearer, a more prevailing, more impetuous concern. how henry would think, and feel, and look, when he returned on the morrow to northanger and heard of her being gone, was a question of force and interest to rise over every other, to be never ceasing, alternately irritating and soothing; it sometimes suggested the dread of his calm acquiescence, and at others was answered by the sweetest confidence in his regret and resentment. to the general, of course, he would not dare to speak; but to eleanor \u2013 what might he not say to eleanor about her?

and instead of dying in bringing the latter into the world, as anybody might expect, she still lived on \u2013 lived to have six children more \u2013 to see them growing up around her, and to enjoy excellent health herself. a family of ten children will be always called a fine family, where there are heads and arms and legs enough for the number; but the morlands had little other right to the word, for they were in general very plain, and catherine, for many years of her life, as plain as any. she had a thin awkward figure, a sallow skin without colour, dark lank hair, and strong features; \u2013 so much for her person; \u2013 and not less unpropitious for heroism seemed her mind. she was fond of all boys\u2019 plays, and greatly preferred cricket not merely to dolls, but to the more heroic enjoyments of infancy, nursing a dormouse, feeding a canary-bird, or watering a rose-bush. indeed she had no taste for a garden; and if she gathered flowers at all, it was chiefly for the pleasure of mischief \u2013 at least so it was conjectured from her always preferring those which she was forbidden to take. \u2013 such were her propensities \u2013 her abilities were quite as extraordinary. she never could learn or understand anything before she was taught; and sometimes not even then, for she was often inattentive, and occasionally stupid. her mother was three months in teaching her only to repeat the \u2018beggar\u2019s petition\u2019, and after all, her next sister, sally, could say it better than she did. not that catherine was always stupid, \u2013 by no means; she learnt the fable of \u2018the hare and many friends\u2019, as quickly as any girl in england. her mother wished her to learn music; and catherine was sure she should like it, for she was very fond of tinkling the keys of the old forlorn spinet; so, at eight years old she began. she learnt a year, and could not bear it; \u2013 and mrs morland, who did not insist on her daughters being accomplished in spite of incapacity or distaste, allowed her to leave off. the day which dismissed the music-master was one of the happiest of catherine\u2019s life.

it was not easy. balancing, the toes of one bare foot on the hot stone, looking for the next clear space to set the other foot down. it took a long time to reach the end of the path. and then the stretch of beach. and then the sea. i used to sit where the water rolled in, rolled in, its frilled white edge nibbling at the sand, withdrawing to leave great damp half moons of a darker, more brownish-beige. i would sit inside one of these curves, at the very midpoint, fitting my body to its contour, and wait. the sea unceasingly shifts and stirs and sends out fingers, paws, tongues to probe the shore. each wave coming in is different. it separates itself from the vast, moving blue, rises and surges forward with a low growl, lightening as it approaches to a pale green, then turns over to display the white frill that slides like a thousand snakes down upon itself, breaks and skitters up the sandbank. i used to sit very still. sometimes the wave would barely touch my feet, sometimes it would swirl around me then pull back, sifting yet another layer of sand from under me, leaving me wet to the waist. my heels rested in twin hollows that filled, emptied and refilled without a break. and subtle as the shadow of a passing cloud, my half moon would slip down the bank \u2013 only to be overtaken and swamped by the next leap of foaming white. i used to sit in the curve and dig my fingers into the grainy, compact sand and feel it grow wetter as my fingers went deeper and deeper till the next rippling, frothing rush of white came and smudged the edges of the little burrow i had made. its walls collapsed and i removed my hand, covered in wet clay, soon to revert to dry grains that i would easily brush away. i lean against the wall of my room and count: twelve years ago, i met him. eight years ago, i married him. six years ago, i gave birth to his child. for eight summers we have been coming here; to the beach-house west of alexandria. the first summer had not been a time of reflection; my occupation then had been to love my husband in this \u2013 to me \u2013 new and different place. to love him as he walked towards my parasol, shaking the water from his black hair, his feet sinking into the warm, hospitable sand. to love him as he carried his nephew on his shoulders into the sea, threw him in, caught him and hoisted him up again; a colossus bestriding the waves. to love him as he played backgammon with his father in the evening, the slam of counters and the clatter of dice resounding on the patio while, at the dining-room table, his sister showed me how to draw their ornate, circular script. to love this new him, who had been hinted at but never revealed when we lived in my northern land, and who after a long 5 1015202530354045", "27": "27 0486/12/f/m/15 \u00a9 ucles 2015absence, had found his way back into the heart of his country, taking me along with him. we walked in the sunset along the water\u2019s edge, kicking at the spray, my sun-hat fallen on my back, my hand, pale bronze in his burnt brown, my face no doubt mirroring his: aglow with health and love; a young couple in a glitzy commercial for life insurance or a two-week break in the sun. my second summer here was the sixth summer of our love \u2013 and the last of our happiness. carrying my child and loving her father, i sat on the beach, dug holes in the sand and let my thoughts wander. i thought about our life in my country, before we were married: four years in the cosy flat, precarious on top of a roof in a georgian square, him meeting me at the bus-stop when i came back from work, sundays when it did not rain and we sat in the park with our newspapers, late nights at the movies. i thought of those things and missed them \u2013 but with no great sense of loss. it was as though they were all there, to be called upon, to be lived again whenever we wanted. i looked out to sea and, now i realise, i was trying to work out my co-ordinates. i thought a lot about the water and the sand as i sat there watching them meet and flirt and touch. i tried to understand that i was on the edge, the very edge of africa; that the vastness ahead was nothing compared to what lay behind me. but \u2013 even though i\u2019d been there and seen for myself its never-ending dusty green interior, its mountains, the big sky, my mind could not grasp a world that was not present to my senses \u2013 i could see the beach, the waves, the blue beyond, and cradling them all, my baby. how does soueif make this such a striking opening to the story?

\u00a9 ucles 2015or 2 read carefully the following extract from a novel. after a very long journey lev, an eastern european, has just arrived in london. lev\u2019s wife has recently died and he has left his daughter, maya, in his home country with his mother, ina, in order to find work in england. how does the writer vividly convey to you lev\u2019s thoughts and feelings at this moment? to help you answer this question, you might consider: \u0081 the way the writer describes lev\u2019s feelings about the tourists and the joggers \u0081 how she portrays his thoughts about his mother and daughter \u0081 how she conveys his feelings of being in a strange country in the passage as a whole. reaching the river, lev set down his bag and extracted one twenty-pound note from his wallet. he bought two hot dogs and a can of coca-cola from a stall and a hoard of change was put into his hand. he felt proud of this transaction. he leaned on the embankment wall, and looked at london. the food felt rich and burning, the cola seemed to pinch at his teeth. though the sky was blue, the river remained an opalescent 1 grey-green and lev wondered whether this was always true of city rivers \u2013 that they were incapable of reflecting the sky because of all the centuries of dark mud beneath. travelling on the water, going in both directions, were cumbersome tourist boats, with carefree people clustered into seating on the top deck, taking photographs in the sun. lev\u2019s eye was held by these people. he envied them their ease and their summer shorts and the way the voices of the tour guides echoed out across the wavelets, naming the buildings in three or four different languages, so that those on the boats would never feel confused or lost. lev noted, too, that this journey of theirs was finite \u2013 upriver a few miles, past the giant white wheel 2 turning slowly on its too- fragile stem, then back to where they\u2019d started from \u2013 whereas his own journey in england had barely begun; it was infinite, with no known ending or destination, and yet already, as the moments passed, confusion and worry were sending pains to his head. at lev\u2019s back, joggers kept passing, and the scuff and squeak of their trainers, their rapid breathing, were like a reproach to lev, who stood without moving, bathing his teeth in cola, devoid of any plan, while these runners had purpose and strength and a tenacious little goal of self-improvement. lev finished the cola and lit a cigarette. he was sure his \u2018self\u2019 needed improving, too. for a long time now, he\u2019d been moody, melancholy and short-tempered. even with maya. for days on end, he\u2019d sat on ina\u2019s porch without moving, or lain in an old grey hammock, smoking and staring at the sky. many times he\u2019d refused to play with his daughter, or help her with her reading, left everything to ina. and this was unfair, he knew. ina kept the family alive with her jewellery-making. she also cooked their meals and cleaned the house and hoed the vegetable patch and fed the animals \u2013 while lev lay and looked at clouds. it was more than unfair; it was lamentable. but at last he\u2019d been able to tell his mother he was going to make amends. by learning english and then by migrating to england, he was going to save them. two years from now, he would be a man-of-the-world.

the resource occurred to him now as so easy and agreeable, especially as marner\u2019s hoard was likely to be large enough to leave godfrey a handsome surplus beyond his immediate needs, and enable him to accommodate his faithful brother, that he had almost turned the horse\u2019s head towards home again. godfrey would be ready enough to accept the suggestion: he would snatch eagerly at a plan that might save him from parting with wildfire. but when dunstan\u2019s meditation reached this point, the inclination to go on grew strong and prevailed. he didn\u2019t want to give godfrey that pleasure: he preferred that master godfrey should be vexed. moreover, dunstan enjoyed the self-important consciousness of having a horse to sell, and the opportunity of driving a bargain, swaggering, and, possibly, taking somebody in. he might have all the satisfaction attendant on selling his brother\u2019s horse, and not the less have the further satisfaction of setting godfrey to borrow marner\u2019s money. so he rode on to cover. bryce and keating were there, as dunstan was quite sure they would be \u2013 he was such a lucky fellow. \u2018hey-day,\u2019 said bryce, who had long had his eye on wildfire, \u2018you\u2019re on your brother\u2019s horse today: how\u2019s that?\u2019 \u2018o, i\u2019ve swopped with him,\u2019 said dunstan, whose delight in lying, grandly independent of utility, was not to be diminished by the likelihood that his hearer would not believe him \u2013 \u2018wildfire\u2019s mine now.\u2019 \u2018what! has he swopped with you for that big-boned hack of yours?\u2019 said bryce, quite aware that he should get another lie in answer. \u2018o, there was a little account between us,\u2019 said dunsey, carelessly, \u2018and wildfire made it even. i accommodated him by taking the horse, though it was against my will, for i\u2019d got an itch for a mare o\u2019 jortin\u2019s \u2013 as rare a bit o\u2019 blood as ever you threw your leg across. but i shall keep wildfire, now i\u2019ve got him; though i\u2019d a bid of a hundred and fifty for him the other day, from a man over at flitton \u2013 he\u2019s buying for lord cromleck \u2013 a fellow with a cast in his eye, and a green waistcoat. but i mean to stick to wildfire: i shan\u2019t get a better at a fence in a hurry. the mare\u2019s got more blood, but she\u2019s a bit too weak in the hind-quarters.\u2019 bryce of course divined that dunstan wanted to sell the horse, and dunstan knew that he divined it (horse-dealing is only one of many human transactions carried on in this ingenious manner); and they both considered 5 1015202530354045", "19": "19 0486/11/m/j/15 \u00a9 ucles 2015 [turn overthat the bargain was in its first stage, when bryce replied ironically \u2013 \u2018i wonder at that now; i wonder you mean to keep him; for i never heard of a man who didn\u2019t want to sell his horse getting a bid of half as much again as the horse was worth. y ou\u2019ll be lucky if you get a hundred.\u2019 keating rode up now, and the transaction became more complicated. it ended in the purchase of the horse by bryce for a hundred and twenty, to be paid on the delivery of wildfire, safe and sound, at the batherley stables. it did occur to dunsey that it might be wise for him to give up the day\u2019s hunting, proceed at once to batherley, and, having waited for bryce\u2019s return, hire a horse to carry him home with the money in his pocket. but the inclination for a run, encouraged by confidence in his luck, and by a draught of brandy from his pocket-pistol at the conclusion of the bargain, was not easy to overcome, especially with a horse under him that would take the fences to the admiration of the field.

she had set out at an early hour, but had lingered on the road, inclined by her indolence to believe that if she waited under a warm shed the snow would cease to fall. she had waited longer than she knew, and now that she found herself belated in the snow-hidden ruggedness of the long lanes, even the animation of a vindictive purpose could not keep her spirit from failing. it was seven o\u2019clock, and by this time she was not very far from raveloe, but she was not familiar enough with those monotonous lanes to know how near she was to her journey\u2019s end. she needed comfort, and she knew but one comforter \u2013 the familiar demon in her bosom; but she hesitated a moment, after drawing out the black remnant, before she raised it to her lips. in that moment the mother\u2019s love pleaded for painful consciousness rather than oblivion \u2013 pleaded to be left in aching weariness, rather than to have the encircling arms benumbed so that they could not feel the dear burden. in another moment molly had flung something away, but it was not the black remnant \u2013 it was an empty phial. and she walked on again under the breaking cloud, from which there came now and then the light of a quickly-veiled star, for a freezing wind had sprung up since the snowing had ceased. but she walked always more and more drowsily, and clutched more and more automatically the sleeping child at her bosom.

either 19 read this extract, and then answer the question that follows it: mr utterson reflected; and then, raising his head, \u2018if you will come with me in my cab,\u2019 he said, \u2018i think i can take you to his house.\u2019 it was by this time about nine in the morning, and the first fog of the season. a great chocolate-coloured pall lowered over heaven, but the wind was continually charging and routing these embattled vapours; so that as the cab crawled from street to street, mr utterson beheld a marvellous number of degrees and hues of twilight; for here it would be dark like the back-end of evening; and there would be a glow of a rich, lurid brown, like the light of some strange conflagration; and here, for a moment, the fog would be quite broken up, and a haggard shaft of daylight would glance in between the swirling wreaths. the dismal quarter of soho seen under these changing glimpses, with its muddy ways, and slatternly passengers, and its lamps, which had never been extinguished or had been kindled afresh to combat this mournful reinvasion of darkness, seemed, in the lawyer\u2019s eyes, like a district of some city in a nightmare. the thoughts of his mind, besides, were of the gloomiest dye; and when he glanced at the companion of his drive, he was conscious of some touch of that terror of the law and the law\u2019s officers, which may at times assail the most honest. as the cab drew up before the address indicated, the fog lifted a little and showed him a dingy street, a gin palace, a low french eating house, a shop for the retail of penny numbers and twopenny salads, many ragged children huddled in the doorways, and many women of many different nationalities passing out, key in hand, to have a morning glass; and the next moment the fog settled down again upon that part, as brown as umber, and cut him off from his blackguardly surroundings. this was the home of henry jekyll\u2019s favourite; of a man who was heir to a quarter of a million sterling. an ivory-faced and silvery-haired old woman opened the door. she had an evil face, smoothed by hypocrisy; but her manners were excellent. y es, she said, this was mr hyde\u2019s, but he was not at home; he had been in that night very late, but had gone away again in less than an hour; there was nothing strange in that; his habits were very irregular, and he was often absent; for instance, it was nearly two months since she had seen him till yesterday. \u2018very well then, we wish to see his rooms,\u2019 said the lawyer; and when the woman began to declare it was impossible, \u2018i had better tell you who this person is,\u2019 he added. \u2018this is inspector newcomen of scotland y ard.\u2019 a flash of odious joy appeared upon the woman\u2019s face. \u2018ah!\u2019 said she, \u2018he is in trouble! what has he done?\u2019 mr utterson and the inspector exchanged glances. \u2018he don\u2019t seem a very popular character,\u2019 observed the latter. \u2018and now, my good woman, just let me and this gentleman have a look about us.\u2019 [from chapter 4, \u2018the carew murder case\u2019] in what ways does stevenson\u2019s writing make this moment in the novel

answer the question that follows it: he came out at the woodside, in open battle now, still searching for the right stones. there were plenty here, piled and scattered where they had been ploughed out of the field. he selected two, then straightened and saw the horse twenty yards off in the middle of the steep field, watching him calmly. they looked at each other. \u2018out of it!\u2019 he shouted, brandishing his arm. \u2018out of it! go on!\u2019 the horse twitched its pricked ears. with all his force he threw. the stone soared and landed beyond with a soft thud. he re-armed and threw again. for several minutes he kept up his bombardment without a single hit, working himself up into a despair and throwing more and more wildly, till his arm began to ache with the unaccustomed exercise. throughout the performance the horse watched him fixedly. finally he had to stop and ease his shoulder muscles. as if the horse had been waiting for just this, it dipped its head twice and came at him. he snatched up two stones and roaring with all his strength flung the one in his right hand. he was astonished at the crack of the impact. it was as if he had struck a tile \u2013 and the horse actually stumbled. with another roar he jumped forward and hurled his other stone. his aim seemed to be under superior guidance. the stone struck and rebounded straight up into the air, spinning fiercely, as the horse swirled away and went careering down towards the far bottom corner of the field, at first with great, swinging leaps, then at a canter, leaving deep churned holes in the soil. it turned up the far side of the field, climbing till it was level with him. he felt a little surprise of pity to see it shaking its head, and once it paused to lower its head and paw over its ear with its forehoof as a cat does. \u2018y ou stay there!\u2019 he shouted. \u2018keep your distance and you\u2019ll not get hurt.\u2019and indeed the horse did stop at that moment, almost obediently. it watched him as he climbed to the crest. the rain swept into his face and he realised that he was freezing, as if his very flesh were sodden. the farm seemed miles away over the dreary fields. without another glance at the horse \u2013 he felt too exhausted to care now what it did \u2013 he loaded the crook of his left arm with stones and plunged out on to the waste of mud. he was halfway to the first hedge before the horse appeared, silhouetted against the sky at the corner of the wood, head high and attentive, watching his laborious retreat over the three fields. the ankle-deep clay dragged at him. every stride was a separate, deliberate effort, forcing him up and out of the sucking earth, burdened as he was by his sogged clothes and load of stones and limbs that seemed themselves to be turning to mud. he fought to keep his breathing even, two strides in, two strides out, the air ripping his lungs. in the middle of the last field he stopped and looked around. the horse, tiny on the skyline, had not moved. at the corner of the field he unlocked his clasped arms and dumped the stones by the gatepost, then leaned on the gate. the farm was in front of him. he became conscious of the rain again and suddenly longed to stretch out full-length under it, to take the cooling, healing drops all over 5 1015202530354045", "25": "25 0486/13/m/j/15 \u00a9 ucles 2015his body and forget himself in the last wretchedness of the mud. making an effort, he heaved his weight over the gate-top. he leaned again, looking up at the hill. rain was dissolving land and sky together like a wet watercolour as the afternoon darkened. he concentrated, raising his head, searching the skyline from end to end. the horse had vanished. the hill looked lifeless and desolate, an island lifting out of the sea, awash with every tide. under the long shed where the tractors, plough, binders and the rest were drawn up, waiting for their seasons, he sat on a sack thrown over a petrol drum, trembling, his lungs heaving. the mingled smell of paraffin, creosote, fertiliser, dust \u2013 all was exactly as he had left it twelve years ago. the ragged swallows\u2019 nests were still there tucked in the angles of the rafters. he remembered three dead foxes hanging in a row from one of the beams, their teeth bloody. the ordeal with the horse had already sunk from reality. it hung under the surface of his mind, an obscure confusion of fright and shame, as after a narrowly escaped street accident. there was a solid pain in his chest, like a spike of bone stabbing, that made him wonder if he had strained his heart on that last stupid burdened run. piece by piece he began to take off his clothes, wringing the grey water out of them, but soon he stopped that and just sat staring at the ground, as if some important part had been cut out of his brain. how does hughes make this such a powerful ending to the story? or 22 what does the writer make you feel about either mr

pushed it aside and leaned forward, both hands spread flat on the plate-glass top of the desk. \u201cwalt, i might as well give you this straight from the shoulder,\u201d he said, and the last shred of hope slipped away. the funny part was that it came as a shock, even so. \u201cmr. harvey and i have felt for some time that you haven\u2019t quite caught on to the work here, and we\u2019ve both very reluctantly come to the conclusion that the best thing to do, in your own best interests as well as ours, is to let you go. now,\u201d he added quickly, \u201cthis is no reflection on you personally, walt. we do a highly specialized kind of work here and we can\u2019t expect everybody to stay on top of the job. in your case particularly, we really feel you\u2019d be happier in some organization better suited to your\u2014abilities.\u201d crowell leaned back, and when he raised his hands their moisture left two gray, perfect prints on the glass, like the hands of a skeleton. walter stared at them, fascinated, while they shriveled and disappeared. \u201cwell,\u201d he said, and looked up. \u201cy ou put that very nicely, george. thanks.\u201d crowell\u2019s lips worked into an apologetic, regular guy\u2019s smile. \u201cawfully sorry,\u201d he said. \u201cthese things just happen.\u201d and he began to fumble with the knobs of his desk drawers, visibly relieved that the worst was over. \u201cnow,\u201d he said, \u201cwe\u2019ve made out a check here covering your salary through the end of next month. that\u2019ll give you something in the way of\u2014severance

was up to him to break it. he got to his feet. \u201call right, george. i won\u2019t keep you.\u201d crowell got up quickly and came around the desk with both hands held out\u2014one to shake walter\u2019s hand, the other to put on his shoulder as they walked to the door. the gesture, at once friendly and humiliating, brought a quick rush of blood to walter\u2019s throat, and for a terrible second he thought he might be going to cry. \u201cwell, boy,\u201d crowell said, \u201cgood luck to you.\u201d \u201cthanks,\u201d he said, and he was so relieved to find his voice steady that he said it again, smiling. \u201cthanks. so long, george.\u201d there was a distance of some fifty feet to be crossed on the way back to his cubicle, and walter henderson accomplished it with

the darkness. \u201cwe\u2019ll just give the cows their something-to-eat, afore2 they go to bed,\u201d brangwen was saying to her, holding her close and sure. there was a trickling of water into the butt, a burst of rain-drops sputtering on to her shawl, and the light of the lantern swinging, flashing on a wet pavement and the base of a wet wall. otherwise it was black darkness: one breathed darkness. he opened the doors, upper and lower, and they entered into the high, dry barn, that smelled warm even if it were not warm. he hung the lantern on the nail and shut the door. they were in another world now. the light shed softly on the timbered barn, on the whitewashed walls, and the great heap of hay; instruments cast their shadows largely, a ladder rose to the dark arch of a loft. outside there was the driving rain, inside, the softly-illuminated stillness and calmness of the barn. holding the child on one arm, he set about preparing the food for the cows, filling a pan with chopped hay and brewer\u2019s grains and a little meal. the child, all wonder, watched what he did. a new being was created in her for the new conditions. sometimes, a little spasm, eddying from the bygone storm of sobbing, shook her small body. her eyes were wide and wondering, pathetic. she was silent, quite still. in a sort of dream, his heart sunk to the bottom, leaving the surface of him still, quite still, he rose with the panful of food, carefully balancing the child on one arm, the pan in the other hand. the silky fringe of the shawl swayed softly, grains and hay trickled to the floor; he went along a dimly-lit passage behind the mangers 3, where the horns of the cows pricked out of the obscurity. the child shrank, he balanced stiffly, rested the pan on the manger wall, and tipped out the food, half to this cow, half to the next. there was a noise of chains running, as the cows lifted or dropped their heads sharply; then a contented, soothing sound, a long snuffing as the beasts ate in silence. the journey had to be performed several times. there was the rhythmic sound of the shovel in the barn, then the man returned walking stiffly between the two weights, the face of the child peering out from the shawl. then the next time, as he stooped, she freed her arm and put it round his neck, clinging soft and warm, making all easier.", "5": "5 0486/42/m/j/15 \u00a9

she used to go to church in it. he was back again in the old irresponsibility and security, a boy at home. the two sat very quiet. his mind, in a sort of trance, seemed to become more and more vague.

the writer describes a boyhood trip with his father to the local park. the father swims in the lake, while the boy, who is afraid of water, watches him. how does the writer vividly convey to you his

how his thoughts and feelings about his father develop. instead of walking in the direction of the waterworks, we walked quietly towards the lake in the centre of the park. swimming here was forbidden. the lake was surrounded by a low iron fence which was only three feet high. so it was not meant to keep people away from the deep water, only to emphasise the prohibition. i had never seen anyone swim here, except a family of swans. i had heard that the lake was maybe forty feet deep. the banks down to the water\u2019s edge were steep and overgrown with tall weeds. one reason i think dad liked this park was its informality. it was more like the countryside than the term \u2018park\u2019 suggested. \u2018y ou wait here and mind this stuff. i won\u2019t be long,\u2019 he said without looking at me. i was immediately relieved and immediately apprehensive. the edges of the lake had swathes of water reed growing and beyond that a film of algae that looked like green confetti 1. only at the centre could you see the still black sheen of unmoving water. it looked pretty at first glance, especially when the swans moved across it. but the thought of it was ominous, and the swans scared me. they were not like the birds in the reservoir lakes who were used to the proximity of people with their toy boats and the fishermen and families who often fed them bait or breadcrumbs. the lake swans never got close to human beings because of the fence, the bank and the reeds. the lake was their home and they patrolled it with austere 2 assurance. dad stepped over the fence with the rolled-up towel and swimming trunks he had brought in the small haversack3. within minutes, he had changed and was descending the bank. \u2018daddy, daddy, what about the swans?\u2019 i asked, becoming more fearful by the second. i had seen the waterworks swans hissing and charging at dogs they thought were too near their nests. i had watched them stand up and spread their wings, flapping furiously. \u2018the swans won\u2019t come near me,\u2019 dad assured me calmly as he slid down through the waist-high weeds and entered the water like a sea snake. he breasted the reeds and the water without a sound. a few water hens scurried out and skimmed to the far side of the lake. other birds called out their warning at his alien presence in the water. everywhere else around us was complete silence. but dad was no alien here. he swam on through the algae into the middle of the lake. i saw his head and face crusted with the green scum and his black shiny hair sitting on top of the water. he looked like a seal that had suddenly emerged out of the black depths. then he disappeared again, only to reappear a few seconds later. i watched him intensely and felt lonely and afraid. he moved across the water as if his head was fixed to a submerged stick and an invisible hand was moving it under the surface. he wasn\u2019t himself. there were no signs of movement of a body beneath

up out of the water and made a slight wave. and then he was swallowed up by the lake again. i knew the wave was an encouragement for me to be unafraid; but it was a passing gesture, as if he was only half conscious of me or anything else. there in the middle of the lake he hardly made a splash or a ripple. he seemed so content. water was his element and he melted into it. i didn\u2019t know him. i only knew the man who made aeroplanes and who brought home animals. this aquatic beast who looked back at me like a ponderous seal, rolled languorously 4 as a beaver, shook his wet hair and snorted

man in mental perplexity. the problem he was thus debating as he walked, was one of a class that is rarely solved. mr hyde was pale and dwarfish, he gave an impression of deformity without any nameable malformation, he had a displeasing smile, he had borne himself to the lawyer with a sort of murderous mixture of timidity and boldness, and he spoke with a husky, whispering and somewhat broken voice; all these were points against him, but not all of these together could explain the hitherto unknown disgust, loathing and fear with which mr utterson regarded him. \u2018there must be

world\u2019s commotion. walking straight into the front room he stopped in front of the piece of mirror-glass tacked over the sink and looked fixedly into it. \u2018i\u2019ll tell you something,

tanner, yis, that\u2019s about it.\u2019\u2018what day is it, then?\u2019 asked tanner, somewhat at random. it was almost too much for him at that moment to realise that brinkman existed. he seemed like a stranger, perhaps from a foreign country, not understanding how ordinary things were done or said. brinkman made no attempt to leave, but said; \u2018last time i came here we started with canned toheroas. y our wife set them in front of me. i\u2019m not sure that they had an entirely good effect on the intestines. then we had fried eggs and excellent jellied beetroot, a choice between tea or bovo, bread and butter and unlimited quantities of treacle. i have a note of all this in my daily journal. that\u2019s not to say, however, that i came over here simply to take dinner with you. it wasn\u2019t for the drive, either, although i\u2019m always glad to have the opportunity of a change of scene and to read a little in nature\u2019s book. no, i\u2019ve come today, as i came formerly, for the sake of hearing a woman\u2019s voice.\u2019 had tanner noticed, he went on, that there were no native songbirds in the territory? at that moment there was a crying, or a calling, from the next room such as tanner had never heard before, not in a shipwreck \u2013 and he had been in a wreck \u2013 not in a slaughterhouse. \u2018don\u2019t put yourself out on my account,\u2019 said brinkman. \u2018i\u2019m going to sit here until you come back and have a quiet smoko.\u2019 the doctor drove up bringing with him his wife\u2019s widowed sister, who lived with them and was a nurse, or had been a nurse. tanner came out of the bedroom covered with blood, something like a butcher. he told the doctor he\u2019d managed to deliver the child, a girl, in fact he\u2019d wrapped it in a towel and tucked it up in the washbasket. the doctor took him back into the bedroom and made him sit down. the nurse put down the things she\u2019d brought with her and looked round for the tea-tin. brinkman sat there, as solid as his chair. \u2018y ou may be wondering who i am,\u2019 he said. \u2018i\u2019m a neighbour, come over for dinner. i think of myself as one of the perpetually

more children, some of them boys, and one of those boys was mr tanner\u2019s father. that evening, when the doctor came in from the yard with the messy scrap, he squeezed it as though he was wringing it out to dry, and it opened its mouth and the colder air of the kitchen rushed in and she\u2019d got her start in life. after that the tanners always had one of those tinplate mottoes hung up on the

got to be anything in particular, this second little girl grew up to be a lawyer with a firm in wellington, and she did very well. all the time brinkman continued to sit there by the table and smoke

the question that follows it: at thirteen, aruna still had thin brown legs and wore her hair plaited and tied in loops over her ears with large ribbons. even though she had to dress in the faded blue cotton slip ordained by the convent, and white not coloured ribbons, there was already something about the way she tossed her head when she saw a man looking at her, with a sidelong look of both scorn and laughter, and the way her foot tapped and her legs changed position, that might have alerted the family to what it could expect. even if mama was indignant in refusing, she was impressed too, and \u2013 uma saw \u2013 respectful of this display of her younger daughter\u2019s power of attraction. by the time aruna was fourteen she was rebelling against the blue cotton tunic and the white hair ribbons. at every opportunity she would shed them and change into flowered silk salwars. \u2018silk!\u2019 uma would exclaim, and papa would sit up and take notice, frowning, but mama was inclined to indulge aruna and perhaps realised, instinctively, that if she did, there would be rewards to reap. so aruna fluttered about in flowered silk, and the hair ribbons were replaced with little shiny plastic clips and clasps, and flowers that she picked from the dusty shrubs and hedges. when uma was still watching to see that arun did not crawl off the veranda and break his neck or put knitting needles or naphthalene balls in his mouth, aruna was already climbing into bicycle rickshaws and going off to the cinema \u2013 with girl friends from school, she said. that was quite true, but she did not mention the young men who took the seats behind them, or even beside them, tempestuously throwing out a knee, an elbow, or even a hand at times, and contriving to touch the little, flustered, excited creatures, then followed them home on their bicycles, weaving through the traffic and singing ardently along the way. while mama searched energetically for a husband for uma, families were already \u2018making enquiries\u2019 about aruna. y et nothing could be done about them; it was imperative that uma marry first. that was the only decent, the only respectable line of behaviour. that also explained why mamapapa responded so eagerly to an advertisement in a sunday newspaper placed by \u2018a decent family\u2019 in search of a bride for their only son. mamapapa went together to meet them and found it was a cloth merchant\u2019s family from the bazaar which had recently begun to prosper and was building a new house on the outskirts of the city. they had purchased a large piece of land in what had formerly been a swamp but was being reclaimed by the municipality by filling it in with city refuse; it was now marked into plots and even had some gates and walls coming up to show the beginnings of urbanisation. the merchant\u2019s family had laid the foundation of what would clearly be a palatial dwelling compared to the cramped quarters they had occupied for generations in the city. but, the father explained \u2013 disarmingly \u2013 they could not proceed until they came into some money, and here the dowry mentioned by papa would come in useful. he was being frank with papa, but then it was papa\u2019s daughter who would come to his house as a bride. papa looked dubious at this confession, but mama was so delighted by the sight of prospective prosperity that she could not be restrained. they themselves owned no house; papa had always refused to move out of their rented one with which he was perfectly content, leaving mama 5 1015202530354045", "17": "17

door. \u2018mr utterson, sir, asking to see you,\u2019 he called; and even as he did so, once more violently signed to the lawyer to give ear. a voice answered from within: \u2018tell him i cannot see anyone,\u2019 it said complainingly. \u2018thank you, sir,\u2019 said poole, with a note of something like triumph in his voice; and taking up his candle, he led mr utterson back across the yard and into the great kitchen, where the fire was out and the beetles were leaping on the floor. \u2018sir,\u2019 he said, looking mr utterson in the eyes, \u2018was that my master\u2019s voice?\u2019 \u2018it seems much changed,\u2019 replied the lawyer, very pale, but giving look for look. \u2018changed? well, yes, i think so,\u2019 said the butler. \u2018have i been twenty years in this man\u2019s house, to be deceived about his voice? no, sir; master\u2019s made away with; he was made away with, eight days ago, when we heard him cry out upon the name of god: and who\u2019s in there instead of him, and why it stays there, is a thing that cries to heaven, mr utterson!\u2019 \u2018this is a very strange tale, poole; this is rather a wild tale, my man,\u2019 said mr utterson, biting his finger. \u2018suppose it were as you suppose, supposing dr jekyll to have been\u2014well, murdered, what could induce the murderer to stay? that won\u2019t hold water; it doesn\u2019t commend

nine.\u2018just one minute,\u2019 she said, and picked up a telephone. while she was talking i looked around the foyer, in which there was nothing to look at, but i don\u2019t like eavesdropping on people talking on the phone. then she put down the phone and said to me, \u2018won\u2019t be long. would you like to take a seat?\u2019 for some reason that caught me unawares and i flashed her a blinding smile and kept standing there, wondering what was going to happen next, and then i realised what she had said and i smiled again and turned around and bumped into a chair and sat down and crossed my legs and looked around and then remembered the shortness of my trousers and quickly uncrossed my legs and sat perfectly straight and still, except for looking at my watch ten times in the next thirty seconds. i don\u2019t know how long i sat there. it was either five minutes or an hour, it\u2019s hard to say. the lady at the desk didn\u2019t seem to have anything to do, and i didn\u2019t like looking at her, but from time to time our eyes met, and i would smile \u2013 or was that smile stretched across my face from the second i came in? i used to do things like that when i was thirteen. finally a door opened and another lady appeared. she seemed, for some reason, quite surprised when she saw me sitting there, as though i had three eyes or was wearing a red suit, but i must say this for her, she had poise, she pulled herself together very quickly, hardly dropped a stitch, as it were, and holding open the door through which she had come, she said, \u2018won\u2019t you come this way?\u2019 and i did. i was shown into an office that was filled with men in grey suits. actually, there were only three of them, but they all stood up when i came in, and the effect was overpowering. i think i might even have taken a half-step back. but my blinding smile stayed firm. the only name i remember is randell and maybe i have that wrong. there was a lot of handshaking and smiling and saying of names. and when all that was done, no one seemed to know what to do. we just stood there, all uncomfortably smiling. finally, the man whose name might have been randell said, \u2018oh, please, please, sit down,\u2019 and everyone did. \u2018well,\u2019 mr randell said. \u2018y ou\u2019re a young man to be drawing comics, i must say.\u2019 \u2018i\u2019ve been interested in

don\u2019t think mr randell was used to receiving quick decisions, for he then said something that seemed to me enormously ridiculous. \u2018that\u2019s, ah, two pounds ten a page,\u2019 he said, and looked at me with his eyes wide open and one eyebrow higher than the other. \u2018y es, that\u2019s right,\u2019 i said. \u2018six two-and-a-halfs are fifteen. exactly.\u20195 1015202530354045", "27":

himself, as though he had just thought of something very important (what an actor, i thought) and he said, \u2018oh, there is one other thing, though. jim, do we have mr lurie\u2019s comic here?\u2019

we\u2019ll, ah, make the corrections. if you approve, that is.\u2019 \u2018of course,\u2019 i said.\u2018we\u2019ll, ah, post you our cheque for, ah, fifteen pounds,\u2019 he said. \u2018in the

y es, in a way there was: it was the face of his mother, as sharp-nosed and grim-featured as he, gazing steadily back at him with an expression of fortitude in the face of calamity. they were to find out that this was how it was \u2013 it was the relationship central to his life, leaving room for no other. anamika was simply an interloper, someone brought in because it was the custom and because she would, by marrying him, enhance his superiority to other men. so they had to tolerate her. only they did not tolerate her. no one said so openly, but uma and aruna heard gossip, over the next year or two, whispers and low voices that dropped even lower when they were within earshot. when they did pick up some hints, some information, it was deeply troubling: anamika had been beaten, anamika was beaten regularly by her mother-in-law while her husband stood by and approved \u2013 or, at least, did not object. anamika spent her entire time in the kitchen, cooking for his family which was large so that meals were eaten in shifts \u2013 first the men, then the children, finally the women. she herself ate the remains in the pots before scouring them (or did uma and aruna imagine this last detail?). if the pots were not properly scoured, so they heard, her mother-in-law threw them on the ground and made her do them all over again. when anamika was not scrubbing or cooking, she was in her mother-in-law\u2019s room, either massaging that lady\u2019s feet or folding and tidying her clothes. she never went out of the house except to the temple with other women. anamika had never once been out alone with her husband. aruna wondered what 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45", "17": "17 0486/13/o/n/15 \u00a9 ucles 2015 [turn overshe did with all the fine clothes and jewellery she had been given at her wedding. then the news came that anamika had had to go to the hospital. she had had a miscarriage at home, it was said, after a beating. it was said she could not bear more children. now anamika was flawed, she was damaged goods. she was no longer perfect. would she be sent back to her family?

the cove 1, above deep sea water which would catch us if we fell, and gathered the rock samphire2 that grew in vertical fields. we perched in little nooks and sentry holes, facing out to the setting sun, and talked to each other across the cliff, as we chewed on the samphire\u2019s pale green leaves, relishing its saltiness. as dark was finally falling, we returned to the cove off which the boat was moored. it lay at the mouth of a small steep-sided valley, cut by a stream. the valley\u2019s two banks were thick with small trees \u2013 ash, elder, rowan \u2013 hung with wild honeysuckle, and bindweed 3, whose almond scent gathered in the air and moved with the wind in currents through the dusk, and whose white trumpet-shaped flowers shone in the fading light. the cove\u2019s beach was formed of hundreds of thousands of stones, some as smooth as eggs. several old rusted tractors with black plastic bucket seats were pulled up to either side, near the cliffs, ready to haul fishing boats out of the water. where it was sandier, near the water, three wading birds moved forwards together in a line, swinging their beaks from side to side in arcs as they advanced, like a team of metal detectors. we moved boulders to make seats, and sat for a while, watching the sun complete its combustion over the western sea. when it was fully dark, we lit a birchwood fire in a pit of stones beneath the westernmost cliff edge of the cove, and sat round it, drinking, eating, talking. the orange fire popped bright sun-flares out into the darkness. resin hissed, and wood cracked as it tore itself along its grain. sparks rushed in flocks into the darkness, before passing out of sight. the sea hushed on the shingle. time became measured by the fire\u2019s failing and flaring. later in the evening, i walked across the cove. i looked back through the dark at the fire, to see its orange sway, and the figures, visible only as shadows, moving about it. by two in the morning the fire had dulled down to a pyre of embers, which pulsed black and orange with the light wind. the night was moonless and tepid. it was then that i saw the glimmering of the water. a line of blinking light \u2013 purple and silver \u2013 rimming the long curve of the beach. i walked down to the edge, squatted, and waved a hand in the water. it blazed purple, orange, yellow and silver. phosphorescence 4! i left my clothes on the stones, and waded into the warm shallows. where it was undisturbed, the water was still and black. but where it was stirred, it burned with light. every movement i made provoked a brilliant swirl, and everywhere it lapped against a floating body it was struck into colour, so that the few boats moored in the bay were outlined with luminescence, gleaming off their wet sloped sides. glancing back, the cove, the cliffs and the caves all appeared trimmed with light. i found that ", "5": "5 0486/41/o/n/15 \u00a9 ucles 2015i could fling long streaks of fire from my

2015or 2 read carefully this extract from a novel set in england in the nineteenth century. jane, a young orphan girl, has been unfairly punished after she was bullied by her cousin john. she has been locked in the red room, the room where her uncle mr reed died \u2013 and now night is falling. how does the writing strikingly convey jane\u2019s growing terror to you? to help you answer this

jane\u2019s terror by the servants bessie and abbot. daylight began to forsake the red-room; it was past four o\u2019clock, and the beclouded afternoon was tending to drear1 twilight. i heard the rain still beating continuously on the staircase window, and the wind howling in the grove behind the hall; i grew by degrees cold as a stone, and then my courage sank. my habitual mood of humiliation, self-doubt, forlorn depression, fell damp on the embers of my decaying ire2. all said i was wicked, and perhaps i might be so: what thought had i been but just conceiving of starving myself to death? that certainly was a crime: and was i fit to die? or was the vault 3 under the chancel of gateshead church an inviting bourne4? in such vault i had been told did mr reed lie buried; and led by this thought to recall his idea, i dwelt on it with gathering dread. i could not remember him, but i knew that he was my own uncle \u2013 my mother\u2019s brother \u2013 that he had taken me when a parentless infant to his house; and that in his last moments he had required a promise of mrs reed that she would rear and maintain me as one of her own children. mrs reed probably considered she had kept this promise; and so she had, i dare say, as well as her nature would permit her: but how could she really like an interloper, unconnected with her, after her husband\u2019s death, by any tie? it must have been most irksome to find herself bound by a hard-wrung pledge to stand in the stead of a parent to a strange child she could not love, and to see an uncongenial alien permanently intruded on her own family group. a singular notion dawned upon me. i doubted not \u2013 never doubted \u2013 that if mr reed had been alive he would have treated me kindly; and now, as i sat looking at the white bed and overshadowed walls \u2013 occasionally also turning a fascinated eye towards the dimly gleaming mirror \u2013 i began to recall what i had heard of dead men, troubled in their graves by the violation of their last wishes, revisiting the earth to punish the perjured5 and avenge the oppressed; and i thought mr reed\u2019s spirit, harassed by the wrongs of his sister\u2019s child, might quit its abode \u2013 whether in the church vault or in the unknown world of the departed \u2013 and rise before me in this chamber. i wiped my tears and hushed my sobs, fearful lest any sign of violent grief might waken a preternatural6 voice to comfort me, or elicit from the gloom some haloed face, bending over me with strange pity. this idea, consolatory7 in theory, i felt would be terrible if realised: with all my might i endeavoured to stifle it \u2013 i endeavoured to be firm. shaking my hair from my eyes, i lifted my head and tried to look boldly round the dark room; at this moment a light gleamed on the wall. was it, i asked myself, a ray from the moon penetrating some aperture in the blind? no; moonlight was still, and this stirred; while i gazed, it glided up to the ceiling and quivered over my head. i can now conjecture8 readily that this streak of light was, in ", "5": "5 0486/42/o/n/15 \u00a9 ucles 2015all likelihood, a gleam from a lantern carried by some one across the lawn; but then, prepared as my mind was for horror, shaken as my nerves were by agitation, i thought the swift-darting beam was a herald of some coming vision from another world. my heart beat thick, my head grew hot; a sound filled my ears, which i deemed the rushing of wings; something seemed near me; i was oppressed, suffocated: endurance broke down; i rushed to the door and shook the lock in desperate effort. steps came running along the outer passage; the key turned, bessie and abbot entered. \u2018miss eyre, are you ill?\u2019 said bessie. \u2018what a dreadful noise! it went quite through me!\u2019 exclaimed abbot. \u2018take me out! let me go into the nursery!\u2019 was my cry. \u2018what for? are you hurt? have you seen something?\u2019 again demanded bessie.

she gave her card. in a few minutes the servant returned, and with a look which did not quite confirm his words, said he had been mistaken, for that miss tilney was walked out. catherine, with a blush of mortification, left the house. she felt almost persuaded that miss tilney was at home, and too much offended to admit her; and as she retired down the street, could not withhold one glance at the drawing- room windows, in expectation of seeing her there, but no one appeared at them. at the bottom of the street, however, she looked back again, and then, not at a window, but issuing from the door, she saw miss tilney herself. she was followed by a gentleman, whom catherine believed to be her father, and they turned up towards edgar\u2019s-buildings. catherine, in deep mortification, proceeded on her way. she could almost be angry herself at such angry incivility; but she checked the resentful sensation; she remembered her own ignorance. she knew not how such an offence as her\u2019s might be classed by the laws of worldly politeness, to what a degree of unforgivingness it might with propriety lead, nor to what rigours of rudeness in return it might justly make her amenable. dejected and humbled, she had even some thoughts of not going with the others to the theatre that night; but it must be confessed that they were not of long continuance: for she soon recollected, in the first place, that she was without any excuse for staying at home; and, in the second, that it was a play she wanted very much to see. to the theatre accordingly they all went; no tilneys appeared to plague or please her; she feared that, amongst the many perfections of the family, a fondness for plays was not to be ranked; but perhaps it was because they were habituated to the finer performances of the london stage, which she knew, on isabella\u2019s authority, rendered every thing else of the kind \u2018quite horrid.\u2019 she was not deceived in her own expectation of pleasure; the comedy so well suspended her care, that no one, observing her during the first four acts, would have supposed she had any wretchedness about her. on the beginning of the fifth, however, the sudden view of mr. henry tilney and his father, joining a party in the opposite box, recalled her to anxiety and distress. the stage could no longer excite genuine merriment\u2014no longer keep her whole attention. every other look upon an average was directed towards the opposite box; and, for the space of two entire scenes, did she thus watch 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45", "13": "13 0486/12/f/m/16 \u00a9 ucles 2016 [turn over henry tilney, without being once able to catch his eye. no longer could he be suspected of indifference for a play; his notice was never withdrawn from the stage during two whole scenes. at length, however, he did look towards her, and he bowed\u2014but such a bow! no smile, no continued observance attended it; his eyes were immediately returned to their former direction. catherine was restlessly miserable; she could almost have run round to the box in which he sat, and forced him to hear her explanation. feelings rather natural than heroic possessed her; instead of considering her own dignity injured by this ready condemnation\u2014instead of proudly resolving, in conscious innocence, to shew her resentment towards him who could harbour a doubt of it, to leave to him all the trouble of seeking an explanation, and to enlighten him on the past only by avoiding his sight, or flirting with somebody else, she took to herself all the shame of misconduct, or at least of its appearance, and was only eager for an opportunity of explaining its cause. the play concluded\u2014the curtain fell\u2014henry tilney was no longer to be seen where he had hitherto sat, but his father remained, and perhaps he might be now coming round to their box. she was right; in a few minutes he appeared, and, making his way through the then thinning rows, spoke with like calm politeness to mrs. allen and her friend.\u2014not with such calmness was he answered by the latter: \u2018oh! mr. tilney, i have been quite wild to speak to you, and make my apologies. you must have thought me so rude; but indeed it was not my own fault,\u2014was it, mrs. allen?

tie it up with lengths of string, so that it would go over his shoulders. the food had been the most difficult to get. he had taken it from the kitchen, when his mother was out, and then wondered whether that was stealing. at school, they said that stealing was one of the worst, worst things you could ever do, he had been impressed from the very first week about it. but in the end, he had decided it was not stealing, the food he was taking would be the food he would have eaten, if he had not been going away, it was part of what his mother got for working here. he wasn\u2019t taking very much, in any case. biscuits and two packets of jelly which he could eat, cube by cube, some potato crisps and half a box of processed cheeses. he bought chocolate in the village, and some peppermints in a tube. it looked enough. he had money to buy more, when he got farther away from derne. water was more difficult. he had nothing to put it in. a glass bottle would be heavy and might break, and in any case, he couldn\u2019t find one that was empty. in the end, he decided to drink a lot before he set out, and then find a stream, or a shop selling lemonade. he had never been far into the country before, but he thought there would be streams. besides the food, he packed a torch, and his penknife, some sticking plaster, a pair of socks and a ball of string. he had not been able to find a map, only the one mr hooper had in his desk, which he could look at, but dared not take. there was nothing else he could think of. besides, the satchel was completely full, though it felt quite light, when he tried it on. he stood in the room, holding the string straps, thinking, i am going away, i am going away. there was a queer feeling in his stomach. he woke soon after four

now, by a sudden turn, it was his knowledge. it was already bad enough when the name was but a name of which he could learn no more. it was worse when it began to be clothed upon with detestable attributes;

the resource occurred to him now as so easy and agreeable, especially as marner\u2019s hoard was likely to be large enough to leave godfrey a handsome surplus beyond his immediate needs, and enable him to accommodate his faithful brother, that he had almost turned the horse\u2019s head towards home again. godfrey would be ready enough to accept the suggestion: he would snatch eagerly at a plan that might save him from parting with wildfire. but when dunstan\u2019s meditation reached this point, the inclination to go on grew strong and prevailed. he didn\u2019t want to give godfrey that pleasure: he preferred that master godfrey should be vexed. moreover, dunstan enjoyed the self-important consciousness of having a horse to sell, and the opportunity of driving a bargain, swaggering, and, possibly, taking somebody in. he might have all the satisfaction attendant on selling his brother\u2019s horse, and not the less have the further satisfaction of setting godfrey to borrow marner\u2019s money. so he rode on to cover. bryce and keating were there, as dunstan was quite sure they would be \u2013 he was such a lucky fellow. \u2018hey-day,\u2019 said bryce, who had long had his eye on wildfire, \u2018you\u2019re on your brother\u2019s horse today: how\u2019s that?\u2019 \u2018o, i\u2019ve swopped with him,\u2019 said dunstan, whose delight in lying, grandly independent of utility, was not to be diminished by the likelihood that his hearer would not believe him \u2013 \u2018wildfire\u2019s mine now.\u2019 \u2018what! has he swopped with you for that big-boned hack of yours?\u2019 said bryce, quite aware that he should get another lie in answer. \u2018o, there was a little account between us,\u2019 said dunsey, carelessly, \u2018and wildfire made it even. i accommodated him by taking the horse, though it was against my will, for i\u2019d got an itch for a mare o\u2019 jortin\u2019s \u2013 as rare a bit o\u2019 blood as ever you threw your leg across. but i shall keep wildfire, now i\u2019ve got him; though i\u2019d a bid of a hundred and fifty for him the other day, from a man over at flitton \u2013 he\u2019s buying for lord cromleck \u2013 a fellow with a cast in his eye, and a green waistcoat. but i mean to stick to wildfire: i shan\u2019t get a better at a fence in a hurry. the mare\u2019s got more blood, but she\u2019s a bit too weak in the hind-quarters.\u2019 bryce of course divined that dunstan wanted to sell the horse, and dunstan knew that he divined it (horse-dealing is only one of many human transactions carried on in this ingenious manner); and they both considered 5 1015202530354045", "19": "19 0486/11/m/j/15 \u00a9 ucles 2015 [turn overthat the bargain was in its first stage, when bryce replied ironically \u2013 \u2018i wonder at that now; i wonder you mean to keep him; for i never heard of a man who didn\u2019t want to sell his horse getting a bid of half as much again as the horse was worth. y ou\u2019ll be lucky if you get a hundred.\u2019 keating rode up now, and the transaction became more complicated. it ended in the purchase of the horse by bryce for a hundred and twenty, to be paid on the delivery of wildfire, safe and sound, at the batherley stables. it did occur to dunsey that it might be wise for him to give up the day\u2019s hunting, proceed at once to batherley, and, having waited for bryce\u2019s return, hire a horse to carry him home with the money in his pocket. but the inclination for a run, encouraged by confidence in his luck, and by a draught of brandy from his pocket-pistol at the conclusion of the bargain, was not easy to overcome, especially with a horse under him that would take the fences to the admiration of the field.

she had set out at an early hour, but had lingered on the road, inclined by her indolence to believe that if she waited under a warm shed the snow would cease to fall. she had waited longer than she knew, and now that she found herself belated in the snow-hidden ruggedness of the long lanes, even the animation of a vindictive purpose could not keep her spirit from failing. it was seven o\u2019clock, and by this time she was not very far from raveloe, but she was not familiar enough with those monotonous lanes to know how near she was to her journey\u2019s end. she needed comfort, and she knew but one comforter \u2013 the familiar demon in her bosom; but she hesitated a moment, after drawing out the black remnant, before she raised it to her lips. in that moment the mother\u2019s love pleaded for painful consciousness rather than oblivion \u2013 pleaded to be left in aching weariness, rather than to have the encircling arms benumbed so that they could not feel the dear burden. in another moment molly had flung something away, but it was not the black remnant \u2013 it was an empty phial. and she walked on again under the breaking cloud, from which there came now and then the light of a quickly-veiled star, for a freezing wind had sprung up since the snowing had ceased. but she walked always more and more drowsily, and clutched more and more automatically the sleeping child at her bosom.

either 19 read this extract, and then answer the question that follows it: mr utterson reflected; and then, raising his head, \u2018if you will come with me in my cab,\u2019 he said, \u2018i think i can take you to his house.\u2019 it was by this time about nine in the morning, and the first fog of the season. a great chocolate-coloured pall lowered over heaven, but the wind was continually charging and routing these embattled vapours; so that as the cab crawled from street to street, mr utterson beheld a marvellous number of degrees and hues of twilight; for here it would be dark like the back-end of evening; and there would be a glow of a rich, lurid brown, like the light of some strange conflagration; and here, for a moment, the fog would be quite broken up, and a haggard shaft of daylight would glance in between the swirling wreaths. the dismal quarter of soho seen under these changing glimpses, with its muddy ways, and slatternly passengers, and its lamps, which had never been extinguished or had been kindled afresh to combat this mournful reinvasion of darkness, seemed, in the lawyer\u2019s eyes, like a district of some city in a nightmare. the thoughts of his mind, besides, were of the gloomiest dye; and when he glanced at the companion of his drive, he was conscious of some touch of that terror of the law and the law\u2019s officers, which may at times assail the most honest. as the cab drew up before the address indicated, the fog lifted a little and showed him a dingy street, a gin palace, a low french eating house, a shop for the retail of penny numbers and twopenny salads, many ragged children huddled in the doorways, and many women of many different nationalities passing out, key in hand, to have a morning glass; and the next moment the fog settled down again upon that part, as brown as umber, and cut him off from his blackguardly surroundings. this was the home of henry jekyll\u2019s favourite; of a man who was heir to a quarter of a million sterling. an ivory-faced and silvery-haired old woman opened the door. she had an evil face, smoothed by hypocrisy; but her manners were excellent. y es, she said, this was mr hyde\u2019s, but he was not at home; he had been in that night very late, but had gone away again in less than an hour; there was nothing strange in that; his habits were very irregular, and he was often absent; for instance, it was nearly two months since she had seen him till yesterday. \u2018very well then, we wish to see his rooms,\u2019 said the lawyer; and when the woman began to declare it was impossible, \u2018i had better tell you who this person is,\u2019 he added. \u2018this is inspector newcomen of scotland y ard.\u2019 a flash of odious joy appeared upon the woman\u2019s face. \u2018ah!\u2019 said she, \u2018he is in trouble! what has he done?\u2019 mr utterson and the inspector exchanged glances. \u2018he don\u2019t seem a very popular character,\u2019 observed the latter. \u2018and now, my good woman, just let me and this gentleman have a look about us.\u2019 [from chapter 4, \u2018the carew murder case\u2019] in what ways does stevenson\u2019s writing make this moment in the novel

answer the question that follows it: he came out at the woodside, in open battle now, still searching for the right stones. there were plenty here, piled and scattered where they had been ploughed out of the field. he selected two, then straightened and saw the horse twenty yards off in the middle of the steep field, watching him calmly. they looked at each other. \u2018out of it!\u2019 he shouted, brandishing his arm. \u2018out of it! go on!\u2019 the horse twitched its pricked ears. with all his force he threw. the stone soared and landed beyond with a soft thud. he re-armed and threw again. for several minutes he kept up his bombardment without a single hit, working himself up into a despair and throwing more and more wildly, till his arm began to ache with the unaccustomed exercise. throughout the performance the horse watched him fixedly. finally he had to stop and ease his shoulder muscles. as if the horse had been waiting for just this, it dipped its head twice and came at him. he snatched up two stones and roaring with all his strength flung the one in his right hand. he was astonished at the crack of the impact. it was as if he had struck a tile \u2013 and the horse actually stumbled. with another roar he jumped forward and hurled his other stone. his aim seemed to be under superior guidance. the stone struck and rebounded straight up into the air, spinning fiercely, as the horse swirled away and went careering down towards the far bottom corner of the field, at first with great, swinging leaps, then at a canter, leaving deep churned holes in the soil. it turned up the far side of the field, climbing till it was level with him. he felt a little surprise of pity to see it shaking its head, and once it paused to lower its head and paw over its ear with its forehoof as a cat does. \u2018y ou stay there!\u2019 he shouted. \u2018keep your distance and you\u2019ll not get hurt.\u2019and indeed the horse did stop at that moment, almost obediently. it watched him as he climbed to the crest. the rain swept into his face and he realised that he was freezing, as if his very flesh were sodden. the farm seemed miles away over the dreary fields. without another glance at the horse \u2013 he felt too exhausted to care now what it did \u2013 he loaded the crook of his left arm with stones and plunged out on to the waste of mud. he was halfway to the first hedge before the horse appeared, silhouetted against the sky at the corner of the wood, head high and attentive, watching his laborious retreat over the three fields. the ankle-deep clay dragged at him. every stride was a separate, deliberate effort, forcing him up and out of the sucking earth, burdened as he was by his sogged clothes and load of stones and limbs that seemed themselves to be turning to mud. he fought to keep his breathing even, two strides in, two strides out, the air ripping his lungs. in the middle of the last field he stopped and looked around. the horse, tiny on the skyline, had not moved. at the corner of the field he unlocked his clasped arms and dumped the stones by the gatepost, then leaned on the gate. the farm was in front of him. he became conscious of the rain again and suddenly longed to stretch out full-length under it, to take the cooling, healing drops all over 5 1015202530354045", "25": "25 0486/13/m/j/15 \u00a9 ucles 2015his body and forget himself in the last wretchedness of the mud. making an effort, he heaved his weight over the gate-top. he leaned again, looking up at the hill. rain was dissolving land and sky together like a wet watercolour as the afternoon darkened. he concentrated, raising his head, searching the skyline from end to end. the horse had vanished. the hill looked lifeless and desolate, an island lifting out of the sea, awash with every tide. under the long shed where the tractors, plough, binders and the rest were drawn up, waiting for their seasons, he sat on a sack thrown over a petrol drum, trembling, his lungs heaving. the mingled smell of paraffin, creosote, fertiliser, dust \u2013 all was exactly as he had left it twelve years ago. the ragged swallows\u2019 nests were still there tucked in the angles of the rafters. he remembered three dead foxes hanging in a row from one of the beams, their teeth bloody. the ordeal with the horse had already sunk from reality. it hung under the surface of his mind, an obscure confusion of fright and shame, as after a narrowly escaped street accident. there was a solid pain in his chest, like a spike of bone stabbing, that made him wonder if he had strained his heart on that last stupid burdened run. piece by piece he began to take off his clothes, wringing the grey water out of them, but soon he stopped that and just sat staring at the ground, as if some important part had been cut out of his brain. how does hughes make this such a powerful ending to the story? or 22 what does the writer make you feel about either mr

pushed it aside and leaned forward, both hands spread flat on the plate-glass top of the desk. \u201cwalt, i might as well give you this straight from the shoulder,\u201d he said, and the last shred of hope slipped away. the funny part was that it came as a shock, even so. \u201cmr. harvey and i have felt for some time that you haven\u2019t quite caught on to the work here, and we\u2019ve both very reluctantly come to the conclusion that the best thing to do, in your own best interests as well as ours, is to let you go. now,\u201d he added quickly, \u201cthis is no reflection on you personally, walt. we do a highly specialized kind of work here and we can\u2019t expect everybody to stay on top of the job. in your case particularly, we really feel you\u2019d be happier in some organization better suited to your\u2014abilities.\u201d crowell leaned back, and when he raised his hands their moisture left two gray, perfect prints on the glass, like the hands of a skeleton. walter stared at them, fascinated, while they shriveled and disappeared. \u201cwell,\u201d he said, and looked up. \u201cy ou put that very nicely, george. thanks.\u201d crowell\u2019s lips worked into an apologetic, regular guy\u2019s smile. \u201cawfully sorry,\u201d he said. \u201cthese things just happen.\u201d and he began to fumble with the knobs of his desk drawers, visibly relieved that the worst was over. \u201cnow,\u201d he said, \u201cwe\u2019ve made out a check here covering your salary through the end of next month. that\u2019ll give you something in the way of\u2014severance

was up to him to break it. he got to his feet. \u201call right, george. i won\u2019t keep you.\u201d crowell got up quickly and came around the desk with both hands held out\u2014one to shake walter\u2019s hand, the other to put on his shoulder as they walked to the door. the gesture, at once friendly and humiliating, brought a quick rush of blood to walter\u2019s throat, and for a terrible second he thought he might be going to cry. \u201cwell, boy,\u201d crowell said, \u201cgood luck to you.\u201d \u201cthanks,\u201d he said, and he was so relieved to find his voice steady that he said it again, smiling. \u201cthanks. so long, george.\u201d there was a distance of some fifty feet to be crossed on the way back to his cubicle, and walter henderson accomplished it with

butt, a burst of rain-drops sputtering on to her shawl, and the light of the lantern swinging, flashing on a wet pavement and the base of a wet wall. otherwise it was black darkness: one breathed darkness. he opened the doors, upper and lower, and they entered into the high, dry barn, that smelled warm even if it were not warm. he hung the lantern on the nail and shut the door. they were in another world now. the light shed softly on the timbered barn, on the whitewashed walls, and the great heap of hay; instruments cast their shadows largely, a ladder rose to the dark arch of a loft. outside there was the driving rain, inside, the softly-illuminated stillness and calmness of the barn. holding the child on one arm, he set about preparing the food for the cows, filling a pan with chopped hay and brewer\u2019s grains and a little meal. the child, all wonder, watched what he did. a new being was created in her for the new conditions. sometimes, a little spasm, eddying from the bygone storm of sobbing, shook her small body. her eyes were wide and wondering, pathetic. she was silent, quite still. in a sort of dream, his heart sunk to the bottom, leaving the surface of him still, quite still, he rose with the panful of food, carefully balancing the child on one arm, the pan in the other hand. the silky fringe of the shawl swayed softly, grains and hay trickled to the floor; he went along a dimly-lit passage behind the mangers 3, where the horns of the cows pricked out of the obscurity. the child shrank, he balanced stiffly, rested the pan on the manger wall, and tipped out the food, half to this cow, half to the next. there was a noise of chains running, as the cows lifted or dropped their heads sharply; then a contented, soothing sound, a long snuffing as the beasts ate in silence. the journey had to be performed several times. there was the rhythmic sound of the shovel in the barn, then the man returned walking stiffly between the two weights, the face of the child peering out from the shawl. then the next time, as he stooped, she freed her arm and put it round his neck, clinging soft and warm, making all easier.", "5": "5 0486/42/m/j/15 \u00a9

the writer describes a boyhood trip with his father to the local park. the father swims in the lake, while the boy, who is afraid of water, watches him. how does the writer vividly convey to you his

how his thoughts and feelings about his father develop. instead of walking in the direction of the waterworks, we walked quietly towards the lake in the centre of the park. swimming here was forbidden. the lake was surrounded by a low iron fence which was only three feet high. so it was not meant to keep people away from the deep water, only to emphasise the prohibition. i had never seen anyone swim here, except a family of swans. i had heard that the lake was maybe forty feet deep. the banks down to the water\u2019s edge were steep and overgrown with tall weeds. one reason i think dad liked this park was its informality. it was more like the countryside than the term \u2018park\u2019 suggested. \u2018y ou wait here and mind this stuff. i won\u2019t be long,\u2019 he said without looking at me. i was immediately relieved and immediately apprehensive. the edges of the lake had swathes of water reed growing and beyond that a film of algae that looked like green confetti 1. only at the centre could you see the still black sheen of unmoving water. it looked pretty at first glance, especially when the swans moved across it. but the thought of it was ominous, and the swans scared me. they were not like the birds in the reservoir lakes who were used to the proximity of people with their toy boats and the fishermen and families who often fed them bait or breadcrumbs. the lake swans never got close to human beings because of the fence, the bank and the reeds. the lake was their home and they patrolled it with austere 2 assurance. dad stepped over the fence with the rolled-up towel and swimming trunks he had brought in the small haversack3. within minutes, he had changed and was descending the bank. \u2018daddy, daddy, what about the swans?\u2019 i asked, becoming more fearful by the second. i had seen the waterworks swans hissing and charging at dogs they thought were too near their nests. i had watched them stand up and spread their wings, flapping furiously. \u2018the swans won\u2019t come near me,\u2019 dad assured me calmly as he slid down through the waist-high weeds and entered the water like a sea snake. he breasted the reeds and the water without a sound. a few water hens scurried out and skimmed to the far side of the lake. other birds called out their warning at his alien presence in the water. everywhere else around us was complete silence. but dad was no alien here. he swam on through the algae into the middle of the lake. i saw his head and face crusted with the green scum and his black shiny hair sitting on top of the water. he looked like a seal that had suddenly emerged out of the black depths. then he disappeared again, only to reappear a few seconds later. i watched him intensely and felt lonely and afraid. he moved across the water as if his head was fixed to a submerged stick and an invisible hand was moving it under the surface. he wasn\u2019t himself. there were no signs of movement of a body beneath

up out of the water and made a slight wave. and then he was swallowed up by the lake again. i knew the wave was an encouragement for me to be unafraid; but it was a passing gesture, as if he was only half conscious of me or anything else. there in the middle of the lake he hardly made a splash or a ripple. he seemed so content. water was his element and he melted into it. i didn\u2019t know him. i only knew the man who made aeroplanes and who brought home animals. this aquatic beast who looked back at me like a ponderous seal, rolled languorously 4 as a beaver, shook his wet hair and snorted

then answer the question that follows it: he cursed the candy store and rosa, and cursed, from its beginning, his unhappy life. it was on one of these bad mornings that a ten-year-old girl from around the block came in and asked for two rolls of colored tissue paper, one red and one yellow. he wanted to tell her to go to hell and stop bothering, but instead went with bad grace to the rear, where rosa, whose bright idea it was to keep the stuff, had put it. he went from force of habit, for the girl had been coming in every monday since the summer for the same thing, because her rock-faced mother, who looked as if she arranged her own widowhood, took care of some small kids after school and gave them the paper to cut out dolls and such things. the girl, whose name he didn\u2019t know, resembled her mother, except her features were not quite so sharp and she had very light skin with dark eyes; but she was a plain kid and would be more so at twenty. he had noticed, when he went to get the paper, that she always hung back as if afraid to go where it was dark, though he kept the comics there and most of the other kids had to be slapped away from them; and that when he brought her the tissue paper her skin seemed to grow whiter and her eyes shone. she always handed him two hot dimes and went out without glancing back. it happened that rosa, who trusted nobody, had just hung a mirror on the back wall, and as tommy opened the drawer to get the girl her paper this monday morning that he felt so bad, he looked up and saw in the glass something that made it seem as if he were dreaming. the girl had disappeared, but he saw a white hand reach into the candy case for a chocolate bar and for another, then she came forth from behind the counter and stood there, innocently waiting for him. he felt at first like grabbing her by the neck and socking till she threw up, but he had been caught, as he sometimes was, by this thought of how his uncle dom, years ago before he went away, used to take with him tony alone of all the kids, when he went crabbing to sheepshead bay. once they went at night and threw the baited wire traps into the water and after a while pulled them up and they had this green lobster in one, and just then this fat-faced cop came along and said they had to throw it back unless it was nine inches. dom said it was nine inches, but the cop said not to be a wise guy so dom measured it and it was ten, and they laughed about that lobster all night. then he remembered how he had felt after dom was gone, and tears filled his eyes. he found himself thinking about the way his life had turned out, and then about this girl, moved that she was so young and a thief. he felt he ought to do something for her, warn her to cut it out before she got trapped and fouled up her life before it got started. his urge to do this was strong, but when he went forward she looked up frightened because he had taken so long. the fear in her eyes bothered him and he didn\u2019t say anything. she thrust out the dimes, grabbed at the tissue rolls and ran out of the store. he had to sit down. he kept trying to make the desire to speak to her go away, but it came back stronger than ever. he asked himself what difference does it make if she swipes candy \u2013 so she swipes it; and the role of reformer was strange and distasteful to him, yet he could

trouble speaking right, stumbled over words, especially in new situations. he was afraid he would sound like a jerk and she would not take him seriously. he had to tell her in a sure way so that even if it scared her, she would understand he had done it to set her straight. he mentioned her to no one but often thought about her, always looking around whenever he went outside to raise the awning or wash the window, to see if any of the girls playing in the street was her, but they never were. the following monday, an hour after opening the store he had smoked a full pack of butts. he thought he had found what he wanted to say but was afraid for some reason she wouldn\u2019t come in, or if she did, this time she would be afraid to take the candy. he wasn\u2019t sure he wanted that to happen until he had said what he had to say. but at about eleven, while he was reading the news, she appeared, asking for the tissue paper, her eyes shining so he had to look away. he knew she meant to steal. going to the rear he slowly opened the drawer, keeping his head lowered as he sneaked a look into the glass and saw her slide behind the counter. his heart beat hard and his feet felt nailed to the floor. he tried to remember what he had intended to do, but his mind was like a dark, empty room so he let her, in the end, slip away and stood tongue-tied, the dimes burning his palm. in what

canopy, the wind his death-lament. the ancient pulse of germ and birth was shrunken hard and dry, and every spirit upon earth seemed fervourless as i. at once a voice arose among the bleak twigs overhead in a full-hearted evensong of joy illimited; an aged thrush, frail, gaunt, and small, in blast-beruffled plume, had chosen thus to fling his soul upon the growing gloom. so little cause for

read this extract, and then answer the question that follows it: where utterson was liked, he was liked well. hosts loved to detain the dry lawyer, when the light-hearted and the loose-tongued had already their foot on the threshold; they liked to sit awhile in his unobtrusive company, practising for solitude, sobering their minds in the man\u2019s rich silence, after the expense and strain of gaiety. to this rule dr jekyll was no exception; and as he now sat on the opposite side of the fire \u2013 a large, well-made, smooth-faced man of fifty, with something of a slyish cast perhaps, but every mark of capacity and kindness \u2013 you could see by his looks that he cherished for mr utterson a sincere and warm affection. \u2018i have been wanting to speak to you, jekyll,\u2019 began the latter. \u2018y ou know that will of yours?\u2019 a close observer might have gathered that the topic was distasteful; but the doctor carried it off gaily. \u2018my poor utterson,\u2019 said he, \u2018you are unfortunate in such a client. i never saw a man so distressed as you were by my will; unless it were that hide-bound pedant, lanyon, at what he called my scientific heresies. o, i know he\u2019s a good fellow \u2013 you needn\u2019t frown \u2013 an excellent fellow, and i always mean to see more of him; but a hide-bound pedant for all that; an ignorant, blatant pedant. i was never more disappointed in any man than lanyon.\u2019 \u2018y ou know i never approved of it,\u2019 pursued utterson, ruthlessly disregarding the fresh topic. \u2018my will? y es, certainly, i know that,\u2019 said the doctor, a trifle sharply. \u2018y ou have told me so.\u2019 \u2018well, i tell you so again,\u2019 continued the lawyer. \u2018i have been learning something of young hyde.\u2019 the large handsome face of dr jekyll grew pale to the very lips, and there came a blackness about his eyes. \u2018i do not care to hear more,\u2019 said he. \u2018this is a matter i thought we had agreed to drop.\u2019 \u2018what i heard was abominable,\u2019 said utterson. \u2018it can make no change. y ou do not understand my position,\u2019 returned the doctor, with a certain incoherency of manner. \u2018i am painfully situated, utterson; my position is a very strange \u2013 a very strange one. it is one of those affairs that cannot be mended by talking.\u2019 \u2018jekyll,\u2019 said utterson, \u2018you know me: i am a man to be trusted. make a clean breast of this in confidence, and i make no doubt i can get you out of it.\u2019 \u2018my good utterson,\u2019 said the doctor, \u2018this is very good of you, this is downright good of you, and i cannot find words to thank you in. i believe you fully; i would trust you before any man alive, ay, before myself, if i could make the choice; but indeed it isn\u2019t what you fancy; it is not so bad as that; and just to put your good heart at rest, i will tell you one thing: the moment i choose, i can be rid of mr hyde. i give you my hand upon that; and i thank you again and again; and i will just add one little word, utterson, that i\u2019m sure you\u2019ll take in good part: this is a private matter, and i beg of you to let it sleep.\u2019 utterson reflected a little, looking in the fire. \u2018i have no doubt you are perfectly right,\u2019 he said at last, getting to his feet. \u2018well, but since we have touched

young man; and if i am taken away, utterson, i wish you to promise me that you will bear with him and get his rights for him. i think you would, if you knew all; and it would be a weight off my mind if you would promise.\u2019 \u2018i can\u2019t pretend that i shall ever like him,\u2019 said the lawyer. \u2018i don\u2019t ask that,\u2019 pleaded jekyll, laying his hand upon the other\u2019s arm; \u2018i only ask for justice; i only ask you to help him for my sake, when i am no longer here.\u2019 utterson heaved an irrepressible sigh. \u2018well,\u2019 said he, \u2018i promise.\u2019 [from

this extract from to da-duh, in memoriam (by paule marshall), and then answer the question that follows it: all the fight went out of her at that. the hand poised to strike me fell limp to her side, and as she stared at me, seeing not me but the building that was taller than the highest hill she knew, the small stubborn light in her eyes (it was the same amber as the flame in the kerosene lamp she lit at dusk) began to fail. finally, with a vague gesture that even in the midst of her defeat still tried to dismiss me and my world, she turned and started back through the gully, walking slowly, her steps groping and uncertain, as if she were suddenly no longer sure of the way, while i followed triumphant yet strangely saddened behind. the next morning i found her dressed for our morning walk but stretched out on the berbice chair in the tiny drawing room where she sometimes napped during the afternoon heat, her face turned to the window beside her. she appeared thinner and suddenly indescribably old. \u2018my da-duh,\u2019 i said. \u2018y es, nuh,\u2019 she said. her voice was listless and the face she slowly turned my way was, now that i think back on it, like a benin mask, the features drawn and almost distorted by an ancient abstract sorrow. \u2018don\u2019t you feel well?\u2019 i asked. \u2018girl, i don\u2019t know.\u2019 \u2018my da-duh, i goin\u2019 boil you some bush tea,\u2019 my aunt, da-duh\u2019s youngest child, who lived with her, called from the shed roof kitchen. \u2018who tell you i need bush tea?\u2019 she cried, her voice assuming for a moment its old authority. \u2018y ou can\u2019t even rest nowadays without some malicious person looking for you to be dead. come girl,\u2019 she motioned me to a place beside her on the old-fashioned lounge chair, \u2018give us a tune.\u2019 i sang for her until breakfast at eleven, all my brash irreverent tin pan alley songs, and then just before noon we went out into the ground. but it was a short, dispirited walk. da-duh didn\u2019t even notice that the mangoes were beginning to ripen and would have to be picked before the village boys got to them. and when she paused occasionally and looked out across the canes or up at her trees it wasn\u2019t as if she were seeing them but something else. some huge, monolithic shape had imposed itself, it seemed, between her and the land, obstructing her vision. returning to the house she slept the entire afternoon on the berbice chair. she remained like this until we left, languishing away the mornings on the chair at the window gazing out at the land as if it were already doomed; then, at noon, taking the brief stroll with me through the ground during which she seldom spoke, and afterwards returning home to sleep till almost dusk sometimes. on the day of our departure she put on the austere, ankle length white dress, the black shoes and brown felt hat (her town clothes she called them), but she did not go with us to town. she saw us off on the road outside her house and in the midst of my mother\u2019s tearful protracted farewell, she leaned down and whispered in my ear, \u2018girl, you\u2019re not to forget now to send me the picture of that building, you hear.\u2019 by the time i mailed her the large colored picture postcard of the empire state building she was dead. she died during the famous \u201937 strike which 5 10

according to my aunt\u2019s letter, that the downdraft from them shook the ripened mangoes from the trees in da-duh\u2019s orchard. frightened, everyone in the village fled into the canes. except da-duh. she remained in the house at the window so my aunt said, watching as the planes came swooping and screaming like monstrous birds down over the village, over her house, rattling her trees and flattening the young canes in her field. it must have seemed to her lying there that they did not intend pulling out of their dive, but like the hard-back beetles which hurled themselves with suicidal force against the walls of the house at night, those menacing silver shapes would hurl themselves in an ecstasy of self-immolation onto the land, destroying it utterly. when the planes finally left and the villagers returned they found her dead on the berbice chair at the window. she died and i lived, but always, to this day even, within the shadow of her death. for a brief period after i was grown i went to live alone, like one doing penance, in a loft above a noisy factory in downtown new y ork and there painted seas of sugar cane and huge swirling van gogh suns and palm trees striding

but in this horrid place one can find time for nothing. i have had my pen in my hand to begin a letter to you almost every day since you left bath, but have always been prevented by some silly trifler or other. pray write to me soon, and direct to my own home. thank god! we leave this vile place to-morrow. since you went away, i have had no pleasure in it\u2014the dust is beyond any thing;

but it is very difficult to know whom to trust, and young men never know their minds two days together. i rejoice to say, that the young man whom, of all others, i particularly abhor, has left bath. y ou will know, from this description, i must mean captain tilney, who, as you may remember, was amazingly disposed to follow and tease me, before you went away. afterwards he got worse, and became quite my shadow. many girls might have been taken in, for never were such attentions; but i knew the fickle sex too well. he went away to his regiment two days ago, and i trust i shall never be plagued with him again. he is the greatest coxcomb i ever saw, and amazingly disagreeable. the last two days he was always by the side of charlotte davis: i pitied his taste, but took no notice of him. the last time we met was in bath-street, and i turned directly into a shop that he might not speak to me;\u2014i would not even look at him. he went into the pump- room afterwards;

and, as i hinted above, am afraid he took something in my conduct amiss. pray explain every thing to his satisfaction; or, if he still harbours any doubt, a line from himself to me, or a call at putney when next in town, might set all to rights. i have not been to the rooms this age, nor to the play, except going in last night with the hodges\u2019s, for a frolic, at half-price: they teased me into it;

full of specks of flimsy ash, and sharp grit, and occasional fiery sparks that pricked face and fingers like hot needles if you opened the window. it was very noisy too, whenever it picked up a little speed. the engine gave great bellowing sighs, and the invisible wheels underneath clicked rhythmically and monotonously, tap-tap-tap-crash, tap-tap-tap-crash. the window-panes were both grimy and misted up. the train stopped frequently, and when it stopped, they used their gloves to wipe rounds, through which they peered out at flooded fields, furrowed hillsides and tiny stations, whose names were carefully blacked out, whose platforms were empty of life. the children did not know that the namelessness was meant to baffle or delude an invading army. they felt \u2013 they did not think it out, but somewhere inside them the idea sprouted \u2013 that the erasure was because of them, because they were not meant to know where they were going or, like hansel and gretel, 2 to find the way

he had suddenly stepped. tired from his long sea journey, his eyes stinging, his walk unsteady, he had been questioning the nature of this darkness. for it seemed to him not merely an external phenomenon, having to do with an actual absence of light, but rather as though it emanated from within him, as if he had finally crossed the threshold of his own absence of hope. now, he is relieved to see the walls of a panelled room take shape around him. a voice says: \u2018this is the vinterstue . the winter room.\u2019 the lamp is lifted up. held high, it burns more brightly, as though sustained by purer air, and the young man sees a shadow cast onto the wall. it is a long, slanting shadow and so he knows it is his own. it appears to have a deformity, a hump, occurring along its spine from below the shoulder-blades to just above the waist. but this is the shadow\u2019s trickery. the young man is peter claire, the lutenist, and the curvature on his back is his lute. he is standing near a pair of lions, made of silver. their eyes seem to watch him in the flickering gloom. beyond them he can see a table and some tall chairs. but peter claire is separate from everything,

suddenly, with peculiar speed, the lamp moves and everything in the room seems to rearrange itself. peter claire sees his shadow on the wall become elongated, stretching upwards for a few seconds towards the ceiling before being swallowed by the darkness, with no trace of it remaining. then the end of a corridor is reached and the gentleman stops before a door. he knocks and waits, putting a finger to his lips and leaning close against the door to listen for the command from within. it comes at last, a voice deep and slow, and peter claire finds himself, in the next minute, standing before king christian, who is sitting in a chair in his night-shirt. before him, on a small table, is a pair of scales and by these a clutch of silver coins. 1 physicians : doctors 2 berate : scold

but her lungs most of all. sopping wet and breathing shallow she spent those hours trying to negotiate the weight of her eyelids. the day breeze blew her dress dry; the night wind wrinkled it. nobody saw her emerge or came accidentally by. if they had, chances are they would have hesitated before approaching her. not because she was wet, or dozing or had what sounded like asthma, but because amid all that she was smiling. it took her the whole of the next morning to lift herself from the ground and make her way through the woods past a giant temple of boxwood to the field and then the yard of the slate-gray house. exhausted again, she sat down on the first handy place\u2014a stump not far from the steps of 124. by then keeping her eyes open was less of an effort. she could manage it for a full two minutes or more. her neck, its circumference no wider than a parlor-service saucer, kept bending and her chin brushed the bit of lace edging her dress. women who drink champagne when there is nothing to celebrate can look like that: their straw hats with broken brims are often askew; they nod in public places; their shoes are undone. but their skin is not like that of the woman breathing

and like all objects to which a man devotes himself, they had fashioned him into correspondence with themselves. his loom, as he wrought in it without ceasing, had in its turn wrought on him, and confirmed more and more the monotonous craving for its monotonous response. his gold, as he hung over it and saw it grow, gathered his power of loving together into a hard isolation like its own. as soon as he was warm he began to think it would be a long while to wait till after supper before he drew out his guineas, and it would be pleasant to see them on the table before him as he ate his unwonted feast. for joy is the best of wine, and silas\u2019s guineas were a golden wine of that sort. he rose and placed his candle unsuspectingly on the floor near his loom, swept away the sand without noticing any change, and removed the bricks. the sight of the empty hole made his heart leap violently, but the belief that his gold was gone could not come at once \u2013 only terror, and the eager effort to put an end to the terror. he passed his trembling hand all about the hole, trying to think it possible that his eyes had deceived him;

and silas, by acting as if he believed in false hopes, warded off the moment of despair. he searched in every corner, he turned his bed over, and shook it, and kneaded it; he looked in his brick oven where he laid his sticks. when there was no other place to be searched, he kneeled down again and felt once more all round the hole. there was no untried refuge left for a moment\u2019s shelter from the terrible truth. yes, there was a sort of refuge which always comes with the prostration of thought under an overpowering passion: it was that expectation of impossibilities, that belief in contradictory images, which is still distinct from madness, because it is capable of being dissipated by the external 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45", "17": "17 0486/11/o/n/16 \u00a9 ucles 2016 [turn over fact. silas got up from his knees trembling, and looked round at the table: didn\u2019t the gold lie there after all? the table was bare. then he turned and looked behind him \u2013 looked all round his dwelling, seeming to strain his brown eyes after some possible appearance of the bags where he had already sought them in vain. he could see every object in his cottage \u2013 and his gold was not there. again he put his trembling hands to his head, and gave a wild ringing scream, the cry of desolation. for a few moments after, he stood motionless;

sawdust, certainly, and machine oil. swept concrete, perhaps. and car. the car was another perfection \u2013 a small family saloon with constellations of chromium-plated fitments glittering in the darkness of the garage, its bodywork and engine spotlessly maintained in constant readiness for the end of the war, when there would be petrol to run it again. sometimes the only part of keith\u2019s father to be seen was his legs, projecting from a pool of light underneath the car, as he carried out the full regular schedule of checks and oil changes. all it was missing was its wheels. it stood in perfect immobility on four carefully carpentered wooden chocks, to prevent its being commandeered, as keith explained, by invading germans. the wheels themselves were hung neatly on the wall, alongside a picnic hamper, tennis rackets in wooden presses, deflated airbeds and rubber rings \u2013 all the apparatus of a forgotten life of leisure which had been suspended, like so many things, for the duration, that great overarching condition shaping all their lives in so many different ways. stephen once plucked up courage to ask keith privately if the germans, with the evil ingenuity for which they were notorious, might not take the wheels down from the wall and put them back on the car. keith explained to him that the wheel nuts which secured them were locked away in a secret drawer by his father\u2019s bedside, together with the revolver with which he\u2019d been armed when he was an officer in the great war, and with which he was going to give any invading germans this time a nasty surprise. keith\u2019s father worked and worked \u2013 and as he worked he whistled. he whistled as richly and effortlessly as a songbird, an infinitely complex, 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45", "19": "19 0486/11/o/n/16 \u00a9 ucles 2016 [turn over meandering tune that never reached a resting place any more than his work did. he rarely found a moment to speak. when he did, the words were quick and dry and impatient. \u2018door \u2013 paint \u2013 wet,\u2019 he\u2019d inform keith\u2019s mother. if he was in a good mood he\u2019d address keith as \u2018old chap\u2019. sometimes this would become \u2018old boy\u2019, which had imperative overtones: \u2018bike away in the shed, old boy.\u2019 occasionally, though, his lips drew back to form what appeared to be a smile, and he\u2019d call keith \u2018old bean\u2019. \u2018if that toy aeroplane of yours touches the greenhouse, old bean,\u2019 he\u2019d smile, \u2018i\u2019ll cane you.\u2019 keith evidently believed him. so did stephen; there was a selection of canes waiting among the sticks and umbrellas on the rack in the hall. stephen he never addressed at all \u2013 never so much as looked at. even if it was stephen who was threatening the damage to the greenhouse, it was keith who was \u2018old bean\u2019 and keith who\u2019d get caned, because stephen didn\u2019t exist. but then stephen never spoke to him either, or even looked directly at him, whether he was smiling or not; perhaps because he was too frightened to, or perhaps because if you\u2019re non-existent you can\u2019t. there were other reasons why keith\u2019s father inspired respect. he\u2019d won a medal in the great war, keith had told stephen, for killing five germans. he\u2019d run them through with a bayonet, though exactly how his father had managed to attach a bayonet to the famous revolver stephen didn\u2019t have the courage to ask. there the bayonet still was, though, chillingly bouncing on keith\u2019s father\u2019s khaki-trousered buttock every weekend as he marched off in his home guard uniform; though it wasn\u2019t really the home guard that he was going to, as keith had explained \u2013 it was to special undercover work for the secret service.

there was one hope \u2013 that she had crept through the stile and got into the fields, where he habitually took her to stroll. but the grass was high in the meadow, and there was no descrying her, if she were there, except by a close search that would be a trespass on mr osgood\u2019s crop. still, that misdemeanour must be committed; and poor silas, after peering all round the hedgerows, traversed the grass, beginning with perturbed vision to see eppie behind every group of red sorrel, and to see her moving always farther off as he approached. the meadow was searched in vain; and he got over the stile into the next field, looking with dying hope towards a small pond which was now reduced to its summer shallowness, so as to leave a wide margin of good adhesive mud. here, however, sat eppie, discoursing cheerfully to her own small boot, which she was using as a bucket to convey the water into a deep hoofmark, while her little naked foot was planted comfortably on a cushion of olive-green mud. a red-headed calf was observing her with alarmed doubt through the opposite hedge. here was clearly a case of aberration in a christened child which demanded severe treatment; but silas, overcome with convulsive joy at finding his treasure again, could do nothing but snatch her up, and cover her with half-sobbing kisses. it was not until he had carried her home, and 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45", "15": "15 0486/12/o/n/16 \u00a9 ucles 2016 [turn over had begun to think of the necessary washing, that he recollected the need that he should punish eppie, and \u2018make her remember.\u2019 the idea that she might run away again and come to harm, gave him unusual resolution, and for the first time be determined to try the coal-hole \u2013 a small closet near the hearth. \u2018naughty, naughty eppie,\u2019 he suddenly began, holding her on his knee, and pointing to her muddy feet and clothes \u2013 \u2018naughty to cut with the scissors and run away. eppie must go into the coal-hole for being naughty. daddy must put her in the coal-hole.\u2019 he half-expected that this would be shock enough, and that eppie would begin to cry. but instead of that, she began to shake herself on his knee, as if the proposition opened a pleasing novelty. seeing that he must proceed to extremities, he put her into the coal-hole, and held the door closed, with a trembling sense that he was using a strong measure. for a moment there was silence, but then came a little cry, \u2018opy, opy!\u2019 and silas let her out again, saying, \u2018now eppie \u2019ull never be naughty again, else she must go in the coal-hole \u2013 a black naughty place.\u2019 the weaving must stand still a long while this morning, for now eppie must be washed, and have clean clothes on; but it was to be hoped that this punishment would have a lasting effect, and save time in future \u2013 though, perhaps, it would have been better if eppie had cried more.

as hard as he could, landing with all four feet on the man\u2019s right arm near the shoulder. ming clung to the cloth of the man\u2019s white jacket, but they were both falling. the man groaned. ming hung on. branches crackled. ming could not tell up from down. ming jumped off the man, became aware of direction and of the earth too late and landed on his side. almost at the same time, he heard the thud of the man hitting the ground, then of his body rolling a little way, then there was silence. ming had to breathe fast with his mouth open until his chest stopped hurting. from the direction of the man, he could smell drink, cigar, and the sharp odour that meant fear. but the man was not moving. ming could now see quite well. there was even a bit of moonlight. ming headed for the steps

he was pleased when he killed a bird and created this smell of blood under his own teeth. this was big prey. ming, unnoticed by any of the others, stood up to his full height as the group passed with the corpse, and inhaled the aroma of his victory with a lifted nose. then suddenly the house was empty. everyone had gone, even concha. ming drank a little water from his bowl in the kitchen, then went to his mistress\u2019 bed, curled against the slope of the pillows, and fell fast asleep. he was awakened by the rr-rr-r of an unfamiliar car. then the front door opened, and he recognised the step of elaine and then concha. ming stayed where he was. elaine and concha talked softly for a few minutes. then elaine came into the bedroom. the lamp was still on. ming watched her slowly open the

sounded up and down the stairs outside ward\u2019s cubicle. built into a narrow alcove in a bend of the staircase between the fourth and fifth floors, its plywood walls flexed and creaked with every footstep like the timbers of a rotting windmill. over a hundred people lived in the top three floors of the old rooming house, and sometimes ward would lie awake on his narrow bunk until 2 or 3 a.m., mechanically counting the last residents returning from the all-night movies in the stadium half a mile away. through the window he could hear giant fragments of the amplified dialogue booming among the rooftops. the stadium was never empty. during the day the huge four-sided screen was raised on its davit and athletics meetings or football matches ran continuously. for the people in the houses abutting the stadium the noise must have been unbearable. ward, at least, had a certain degree of privacy. two months earlier, before he came to live on the staircase, he had shared a room with seven others on the ground floor of a house in 755th street, and the ceaseless press of people jostling past the window had reduced him to a state of exhaustion. the street was always full, an endless clamour of voices and shuffling feet. by 6.30, when he woke, hurrying to take his place in the bathroom queue, the crowds already jammed it from sidewalk to sidewalk, the din punctuated every half minute by the roar of the elevated trains running over the shops on the opposite side of the road. as soon as he saw the advertisement describing the staircase cubicle he had left (like everyone else, he spent most of his spare time scanning the classifieds in the newspapers, moving his lodgings an average of once every two months) despite the higher rental. a cubicle on a staircase would almost certainly be on its own. however, this had its drawbacks. most evenings his friends from the library would call in, eager to rest their elbows after the bruising crush of the public reading room. the cubicle was slightly more than four and a half square metres in floor area, half a square metre over the statutory maximum for a single person, the carpenters having taken advantage, illegally, of a recess beside a nearby chimney breast. consequently ward had been able to fit a small straight-backed chair into the interval between the bed and the door, so that only one person at a time needed to sit on the bed \u2013 in most single cubicles host and guest had to sit side by side on the bed, conversing over their shoulders and changing places periodically to avoid neck-strain. \u2018you were lucky to find this place,\u2019 rossiter, the most regular visitor, never tired of telling him. he reclined back on the bed, gesturing at the cubicle. \u2018it\u2019s enormous, the perspectives really zoom. i\u2019d be surprised if you haven\u2019t got at least five metres here, perhaps six.\u2019 ward shook his head categorically. rossiter was his closest friend, but the quest for living space had forged powerful reflexes. \u2018just over four and a half, i\u2019ve measured it carefully. there\u2019s no doubt about it.\u2019 rossiter lifted one eyebrow. \u2018i\u2019m amazed. it must be the

made upon the ceiling, out of convenience, and by tilting back the plywood partitions the rated area of a cubicle could be either increased, for the benefit of a prospective tenant (many married couples were thus bamboozled into taking a single cubicle), or decreased temporarily on the visits of the housing inspectors. ceilings were criss- crossed with pencil marks staking out the rival claims of tenants on opposite sides of a party wall. someone timid of his rights could be literally squeezed out of existence \u2013 in fact, the advertisement \u2018quiet clientele\u2019 was usually

\u0081 the effect of the last story she tells, and of its final line. there is a city surrounded by water with watery alleys that do for streets and roads and silted up back ways that only the rats can cross. miss your way, which is easy to do, and you may find yourself staring at a hundred eyes guarding a filthy palace of sacks and bones. find your way, which is easy to do, and you may meet an old woman in a doorway. she will tell your fortune, depending on your face. this is the city of mazes. y ou may set off from the same place to the same place every day and never go by the same route. if you do so, it will be by mistake. y our bloodhound nose will not serve you here. y our course in compass reading will fail you. y our confident instructions to passers-by will send them to squares

mercurial 2 city, it is required you do awake your faith. with faith, all things are possible.rumour has it that the inhabitants of this city walk on water. that, more bizarre still, their feet are webbed. not all feet, but the feet of the boatmen whose trade is hereditary. this is the legend.when a boatman\u2019s wife finds herself pregnant she waits until the moon is full and the night empty of idlers. then she takes her husband\u2019s boat and rows to a terrible island where the dead are buried. she leaves her boat with rosemary 3 in the bows so that the limbless ones cannot return with her and hurries to the grave of the most recently dead in her family. she has brought her offerings: a flask of wine, a lock of hair from her husband and a silver coin. she must leave the offerings on the grave and beg for a clean heart if her child be a girl and boatman\u2019s feet if her child be a boy. there is no time to lose. she must be home before dawn and the boat must be left for a day and a night covered in salt. in this way, the boatmen keep their secrets and their trade. no newcomer can compete. and no boatman will take off his boots, no matter how you bribe him. i have seen tourists throw diamonds to the fish, but i have never seen a boatman take off his boots. there was once a weak and foolish man whose wife cleaned the boat and sold the fish and brought up their children and went to the terrible island as she should when her yearly time was due. their house was hot in summer and cold in winter and there was too little food and too many mouths. this boatman, ferrying a tourist from one church to another, happened to fall into conversation with the man and the man brought up the question of the webbed feet. at the same time he drew a purse of gold from his pocket and let it lie quietly in the bottom of the boat. winter was approaching, the boatman was thin and he thought what harm could it do to unlace just one boot and let this visitor see what there was. the

\u2022 how the writer uses setting to create tension \u2022 how he conveys charlie\u2019s thoughts and feelings \u2022 the impact of charlie\u2019s reaction to the arrival of his father and the strangers. charlie stowe waited until he heard his mother snore before he got out of bed. even then he moved with caution and tiptoed to the window. the front of the house was irregular, so that it was possible to see a light burning in his mother\u2019s room. but now all the windows were dark. a searchlight passed across the sky, lighting the banks of cloud and probing the dark deep spaces between, seeking enemy airships. the wind blew from the sea, and charlie stowe could hear behind his mother\u2019s snores the beating of the waves. a draught through the cracks in the window-frame stirred his nightshirt. charlie stowe was frightened. but the thought of the tobacconist\u2019s shop which his father kept down a dozen wooden stairs drew him on. he was twelve years old, and already boys at the county school mocked him because he had never smoked a cigarette. the packets were piled twelve deep below, and the little shop lay under a thin haze of stale smoke which would completely disguise his crime. that it was a crime to steal some of his father\u2019s stock charlie stowe had no doubt, but he did not love his father; his father was unreal to him, a wraith, pale, thin, and indefinite, who noticed him only spasmodically1 and left even punishment to his mother. for his mother he felt a passionate demonstrative love; her large boisterous presence and her noisy charity filled the world for him. but his father\u2019s affection and dislike were as indefinite as his movements. tonight he had said he would be in norwich, and yet you never knew. charlie stowe had no sense of safety as he crept down the wooden stairs. when they creaked he clenched his fingers on the collar of his nightshirt. at the bottom of the stairs he came out quite suddenly into the little shop. it was too dark to see his way, and he did not dare touch the switch. for half a minute he sat in despair on the bottom step with his chin cupped in his hands. then the regular movement of the searchlight was reflected through an upper window and the boy had time to fix in memory the pile of cigarettes, the counter, and the small hole under it. the footsteps of a policeman on the pavement made him grab the first packet to his hand and dive for the hole. a light shone along the floor and a hand tried the door, then the footsteps passed on, and charlie cowered in the darkness. at last he got his courage back by telling himself in his curiously adult way that if he were caught now there was nothing to be done about it, and he might as well have his smoke. he put a cigarette in his mouth and then remembered that he had no matches. for a while he dared not move. three times the searchlight lit the shop, while he muttered taunts and encouragements. \u201cmay as well be hung for a sheep,\u201d \u201ccowardy, cowardy custard,\u201d grown-up and childish exhortations oddly mixed. but as he moved he heard footfalls in the street, the sound of several men walking rapidly. charlie stowe was old enough to feel surprise that anybody was about. the footsteps came nearer, stopped; a key was turned in the shop door, a voice said, \u201clet him in,\u201d and then he heard his father,

how does the writing in this passage vividly portray rachel\u2019s pleasure in working creatively? to help you answer this question, you might consider: \u0081 how the writer describes the details which rachel observes \u0081 how he shows her transforming what she sees into sketches \u0081 how he suggests the importance of her work to her life. she settled herself comfortably in the sand with her back against an especially flat bit of cliff. this was the risky side of the beach to lie because there were great rocks high above, barely contained in the turf and shale around them, but it caught the sun and gave the best view. she tugged her sketchpad and a pencil case out of the picnic bag and began drawing the archway the sea had hollowed out from the cliff on the beach\u2019s shady side. it was an interesting shape but a challenge to capture with only a pencil and a few coloured crayons as it presented such extremes of light and shade. but then, working on the planes of water, the utterly still, dark pool in the sand beneath the arch and the dazzlingly white-shot blue of the open sea glimpsed beyond, she grasped an idea for a painting or a series of paintings. layers of finely gradated colour could be built up in bands, like a stack of pyrex 1 saucers that had once held her fascinated in a hospital canteen. she abandoned the sketch then filled page after page with studies, leaning on her drawn-up knees. she was faintly aware of time passing as she worked. some people came to the beach with a dog and explored the caves, talking loudly about a bird they thought was roosting there, and passed on. petroc padded around her and helped himself to sandwiches and a pork pie and tomatoes and some apple juice. at one point, when she had fallen back to staring at the arch in the cliff \u2013 seeing it yet not seeing it as the pictures formed and rearranged themselves on the canvas in her mind \u2013 a man walked into her vision and distracted her. he was impossibly tall, thin and old, perhaps seventy, like a mervyn peake 2 illustration. she watched as he half-stripped until he had nothing on but his khaki trousers then darted like a wading bird in and out of the shallow surf, stamping his feet and stooping to catch the foam in his hands before anointing his face and neck and, strangest of all, the small of his back. she saw that petroc, far up the beach among the high tide of pebbles, was watching too and she grinned at him. then they watched the man stamp his feet dry on his jersey, dress and leave again, clambering back up the boulders and clay with surprising agility. his little visit had taken all of six or seven minutes, like a speeded-up re-enactment of childhood joy amid the mature pleasures of a long clifftop walk. she began to draw a quick cartoony drawing of the man stamping in the surf but was distracted afresh by the light on the water and the entirely unwatery shapes she could see in it if she stared long enough, a kind of network of dish shapes and bending discs. then she remembered that several of the crayons she was using were water soluble so she experimented with a corner of a handkerchief dipped in apple juice and rubbed selectively across what she had drawn. she was playing and she was working and she was entirely absorbed and happy.", "5": "5 0486/43/o/n/16 \u00a9 ucles 2016finally she broke off, when her

she smiled her strained smile, lifted her head to take a taste off the spoon, then lay back exhausted and would take no more. sal got him down to the kitchen, got him out of his coat and muffler at last. he sat passively under her hands, staring into the fire. when she knelt to take off his boots she exclaimed\u2014they were wet through, his feet mottled with the chill of them. he had fallen in a drift of snow, he said, and while he had waited for the apothecary, the snow in them had melted, and stayed melted all the way home. he started to sneeze after supper and next day woke up flushed and sweating, shivering under four blankets, tossing his head on the pillow. the surgeon came again, for the husband this time. he cupped him and gave him something thick and brown in a small square bottle that made him drift into a kind of sleep from which he called out hoarsely and struggled to escape the bedclothes. in spite of the medicine, the flame of the fever consumed him. his cheeks were scarlet, the skin dry and hot to the touch, his tongue furred and grey, his eyes sunk back into their sockets. within a week he was dead.when they told mrs middleton she cried out once, a terrible hoarse sound. then she turned her face to the wall and did not speak again. sal sat with her all day and slept at the foot of her bed. the surgeon was called again and again, until the table by the bed bristled with bottles of potions and pills. but mrs middleton\u2019s slide towards death would not be stopped by anything the surgeon could do. with each day that passed she shrank further into the bedclothes, her eyes closed as if she could not bear to see the world any longer, slipping away behind her skin. at last a grey dawn came when she was stiff under the blanket. they laid her in her box at gilling\u2019s, beside mr middleton\u2019s, waiting for the ground to thaw so they could bury them. it was only after the ice on the river broke up, the hole dug and the prayers said over the two coffins as they swayed down on the undertaker\u2019s ropes, that the thornhills realised everything was gone. mr middleton had done all that any man could do. he had lived thriftily and put cash aside. he had put money into well-made boats and kept them in repair, had made sure his apprentice was honest and worked hard. his business had been good, his life cautiously prosperous. but as soon as he was gone it fell into pieces with amazing speed. in that frozen month his savings were devoured. the surgeon had come every day, and hardly a visit passed when he did not prescribe some new cure that cost a pound the bottle. the uneaten jars of brandied cherries and figs in honey sat on the pantry shelf. even though there was no work for him to do, the apprentice had still to be fed, and with the river frozen, all that coal he had carried up the stairs had cost five pounds the sack. worst of all, the landlord\u2019s man had still come by for the rent every monday. whether the river was frozen or not, whether a man could work or not, did not matter to the landlord\u2019s man.5 10 15202530354045", "21": "21 0486/12/f/m/17 \u00a9 ucles 2017 [turn over to thornhill, the house on swan

down, no matter how hard times were, and wait for them to get better. he had taken a long time to understand that the house had not been owned, only leased. when he did, it was as if some vital part of himself had dropped away, leaving a void. the house on swan lane, always so warm, so safe, was now as cheerless as any of the tenements of his childhood. the rent was in arrears, and the furniture had to be sold to pay it. sal and thornhill watched even the bed mrs middleton had died in, which seemed scarcely cold, being carted off. when that was not enough, the bailiffs came after the wherries, first the hope that the apprentice worked, so he had to go and find another master to serve out his time, and then the second-best one too, that thornhill could not prove was a wedding gift. the river had barely melted, thornhill had done just a week\u2019s work, when he watched them take his wherry in tow. his livelihood disappeared away under blackfriars bridge. from now on he would be a journeyman, rowing other men\u2019s boats and never knowing when he would be told there was no work for him. he sat for a long time on the pier at bull wharf watching the red sails of the sailor-men bellying out as they tacked from reach to reach. the tide was pushing in from the sea. across the surface of the river, pocked, pitted, rough, ran another kind of roughness, a buckle in the water crossing from one bank to the other. behind it pushed water of a different character, barred and furrowed: the sea. he watched the tide, and thought of how the river would go on doing this dance of

were children in the gutters, playing with the garbage and screeching. a small stone suddenly hit him in the back. he wheeled about, but it was too dark to see where it had come from. a few seconds later another stone, coming from in front of him, landed against his knee. in the dim light, he saw a group of small children scattering before him. more stones came from the other direction, this time without hitting him. when he got beyond, to a point where there was a light, he stopped and tried to watch the two groups in battle, but they all ran off into the dark, and so he started up again, his gait as mechanical and rhythmical as before. a wind that was dry and warm, coming up the street out of the blackness before him, met him head on. he sniffed at the fragments of mystery in it, and again he felt an unaccustomed exaltation. even though the street became constantly less urban, it seemed reluctant to give up; huts continued to line it on both sides. beyond a certain point there were no more lights, and the dwellings themselves lay in darkness. the wind, straight from the south, blew across the barren mountains that were invisible ahead of him, over the vast flat sebkha1 to the edges of the town, raising curtains of dust that climbed to the crest of the hill and lost themselves in the air above the harbour. he stood still. the last possible suburb had been strung on the street\u2019s thread. beyond the final hut the garbage and rubble floor of the road sloped abruptly downward in three directions. in the dimness below were shallow, crooked canyon-like formations. port raised his eyes to the sky: the powdery course of the milky way2 was like a giant rift across the heavens that let the faint white light through. in the distance he heard a motor-cycle. when its sound was finally gone, there was nothing to hear but an occasional cock-crow, like the highest part of a repeated melody whose other notes were inaudible. he started down the bank to the right, sliding among the fish skeletons and dust. once below, he felt out a rock that seemed clean and sat down on it. the stench was overpowering. he lit a match, saw the ground thick with chicken feathers and decayed melon rinds. as he rose to his feet he heard steps above him at the end of the street. a figure stood at the top of the embankment. it did not speak, yet port was certain that it had seen him, had followed him, and knew he was sitting down there. it lit a cigarette, and for a moment he saw an arab wearing a chechia3 on his head. the match, thrown into the air,

assuredly, among these flushed and dull-eyed men there were some whom \u2013 thanks to their native human-kindness \u2013 even riot could never drive into brutality; men who, when their cheeks were fresh, had felt the keen point of sorrow or remorse, had been pierced by the reeds they leaned on, or had lightly put their limbs in fetters from which no struggle could loose them; and under these sad circumstances, common to us all, their thoughts could find no resting-place outside the ever-trodden round of their own petty history. that, at least, was the condition of godfrey cass in this six-and- twentieth year of his life. a movement of compunction, helped by those small indefinable influences which every personal relation exerts on a pliant nature, had urged him into a secret marriage, which was a blight on his life. it was an ugly story of low passion, delusion, and waking from delusion, which needs not to be dragged from the privacy of godfrey\u2019s bitter memory. he had long known that the delusion was partly due to a trap laid for him by dunstan, who saw in his brother\u2019s degrading marriage the means of gratifying at once his jealous hate and his cupidity. and if godfrey could have felt himself simply a victim, the iron bit that destiny had put into his mouth would have chafed him less intolerably. if the curses he muttered half aloud when he was alone had had no other object than dunstan\u2019s diabolical cunning, he might have shrunk less from the consequences of avowal. but he had something else to curse \u2013 his own vicious folly, which now seemed as mad and unaccountable to him as almost all our follies and vices do when their promptings have long passed away. for four years he had thought of nancy lammeter, and wooed her with tacit patient worship as the woman who made him think of the future with joy: she would be his wife, and would make home lovely to him, as his 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45", "17": "17 0486/11/m/j/17 \u00a9 ucles 2017 [turn over father\u2019s home had never been; and it would be easy, when she was always near, to shake off those foolish habits that were no pleasures, but only a feverish way of annulling vacancy. godfrey\u2019s was an essentially domestic nature, bred up in a home where the hearth had no smiles, and where the daily habits were not chastised by the presence of household order. his easy disposition made him fall in unresistingly with the family courses, but the need of some tender permanent affection, the longing for some influence that would make the good he preferred easy to pursue, caused the neatness, purity, and liberal orderliness of the lammeter household, sunned by the smile of nancy, to seem like those fresh bright hours of the morning when temptations go to sleep and leave the ear open to the voice of the good angel, inviting to industry, sobriety, and peace. and yet the hope of this paradise had not been enough to save him from a course which shut him out of it for ever. instead of keeping fast hold of the strong silken rope by which nancy would have drawn him safe to the green banks where it was easy to step firmly, he had let himself be dragged back into mud and slime, in which it was useless to struggle. he had made ties for himself which robbed him of all wholesome motive and were a constant exasperation. still, there was one position worse than the present: it was the position he would be in when the ugly secret was disclosed; and the desire that continually triumphed over every other was that of warding off the evil day, when he would have to bear the consequences of his father\u2019s violent resentment for the wound inflicted on his family pride \u2013 would have, perhaps, to turn his back on that hereditary ease and dignity which, after all, was a sort of reason for living, and would carry with him the certainty that he was banished for ever from the sight and esteem of nancy lammeter.

yards out; pigment flakes under wax on the lines of parked cars; far hills and the heather on them and miles and miles of sky where the sun spreads on dust and water and illegible things moving in it

decorated hungarian plates. the area was primitive, bug-ridden and brutal. its streets, unlike the fashionable streets, were as crowded in winter as in summer. the gas-lit windows threw out a greenish glow. the stalls dripped with gas flares. harriet pushed her way between men and women who, wrapped to the eyes in woollen scarves, were bulky with frieze, sheep-skin and greasy astrakhan. the beggars, on home ground, rummaging for food under the stalls, did not usually trouble to beg here, but the sight of harriet was too much for them. when she stopped at a meat stall to buy veal, she became conscious of a sickening smell of decay beside her. turning, she saw an ancient female dwarf who was thrusting the stump of an arm up to her face. she searched hurriedly for a coin and could find nothing smaller than a hundred- lei 2 note. she knew it was too much but handed it over. it led, as she feared, to trouble. the woman gave a shrill cry calling to her a troupe of children, who at once set upon harriet, waving their deformities and begging with professional and remorseless piteousness. she took the meat she had bought and tried to escape into the crowd. the children clung like lice. they caught hold of her arms, their faces screwed into the classical mask of misery while they whined and whimpered in chorus. guy had told her she must try and get used to the beggars. they could be discouraged by a show of amiable indifference. she had not yet learned the trick and perhaps never would. their persistence roused her to fury. she reached the stall where the hungarian plates were displayed and paused. at once the children surrounded her, their eyes gleaming at her annoyance, seeming to be dancing in triumph. she made off again, almost running, only wanting now to get away from them. at the end of the road she saw a tr\u02d8 asur\u02d8 a\u20093 and shouted to it. it stopped. she jumped on board and the children followed her. they clung to the steps, wailing at her, until the driver struck them off with his whip. as they dropped down, one by one, her anger subsided. she looked back at them and saw them still staring after the dispenser of hundred- lei notes \u2013 a collection of wretched, ragged waifs with limbs as thin as sticks. before she left england, she had read books written by travellers in rumania who had given a picture of a rollicking, open-hearted, happy, healthy peasantry, full of music and generous hospitality. they were, it was true, mad about music. music was their only outlet. they made themselves drunk on it. as for the rest, she had seen nothing of it. the peasants in this city were starved, frightened figures, scrawny with pellagra,4 wandering about in a search for work or making a half- hearted attempt to beg. the situation would have been simplified for her could she, like guy, have seen the peasants not only as victims, but as blameless victims. the truth was, the more

or was any body angry with her? or had she quarrelled with maria and julia? or was she puzzled about any thing in her lesson that he could explain? did she, in short, want any thing he could possibly get her, or do for her?\u2019 for a long while no answer could be obtained beyond a \u2018no, no \u2014 not at all \u2014 no, thank you;\u2019 but he still persevered, and no sooner had he begun to revert to her own home, than her increased sobs explained to him where the grievance lay. he tried to console her. \u2018you are sorry to leave mamma, my dear little fanny,\u2019 said he, \u2018which shews you to be a very good girl; but you must remember that you are with relations and friends, who all love you, and wish to make you happy. let us walk out in the park, and you shall tell me all about your brothers and sisters.\u2019 on pursuing the subject, he found that dear as all these brothers and sisters generally were, there was one among them who ran more in her thoughts than the rest. it was william whom she talked of most and wanted most to see. william, the eldest, a year older than herself, her constant companion and friend; her advocate with her mother (of whom he was the darling) in every distress. \u2018william did not like she should come away \u2014 he had told her he should miss her very much indeed.\u2019 \u2018but william will write to you, i dare say.\u2019 \u2018yes, he had promised he would, but he had told her to write first.\u2019 \u2018and when shall you do it?\u2019 she hung her head and answered, hesitatingly, \u2018she did not know; she had not any paper.\u2019 \u2018if that be all your difficulty, i will furnish you with paper and every other material, and you may write your letter whenever you chuse. would it make you happy to write to william?\u20195 10 15202530354045", "13": "13 0486/11/m/j/18 \u00a9 ucles 2018 [turn over \u2018yes, very.\u2019 \u2018then let it be done now. come with me into the breakfast room, we shall find every thing there, and be sure of having the room to ourselves.\u2019 \u2018but cousin \u2014 will it go to the post?\u2019 \u2018yes, depend upon me it shall; it shall go with the other letters; and as your uncle will frank it, it will cost william nothing.\u2019 \u2018my uncle!\u2019 repeated fanny with a frightened look. \u2018yes, when you have written the letter, i will take it to my father to frank.\u2019 fanny thought it a bold measure, but offered no farther resistance; and they went together into the breakfast-room, where edmund prepared her paper, and ruled her lines with all the good will that her brother could himself have felt, and probably with somewhat more exactness. he continued with her the whole time of her writing, to assist her with his penknife or his orthography, as either were wanted; and added to these attentions, which she felt very much, a kindness to her brother, which delighted her beyond all the rest. he wrote with his own hand his love to his cousin william, and sent him half a guinea under the seal. fanny\u2019s feelings on the occasion were such as she believed herself incapable of expressing; but her countenance and a few artless words fully conveyed all their gratitude and delight, and her cousin began to find her an interesting object. he talked to her more, and from all that she said, was convinced of her having an affectionate heart, and a strong desire of doing right; and he could perceive her to be farther entitled to attention, by great sensibility of her situation, and great timidity. he had never knowingly given her pain, but he now felt that she required more positive kindness, and with that view endeavoured, in the first place, to lessen her fears of them all, and gave her especially a great deal of good advice as to playing with maria and julia, and being as merry as possible. from this day fanny grew more comfortable.

he found himself staring at mr lucas as he blurted out, mr lucas knows there is no lighter on the river can come to her , but even as the words left his mouth he knew they had nothing to do with the case at hand, and he called out desperately, i am as innocent as the child unborn , but the words had no meaning after so much rehearsal. in any case the judge, way up behind his bench, was not listening. he was shuffling papers together and leaning sideways while someone whispered in his ear. lucas was not listening either, his hand feeling for the watch in his pocket. thornhill saw the silver lid spring open, saw lucas glance at the face of the watch, press it closed again, tweak a nostril with thumb and forefinger. his own words, which had sounded with such conviction in newgate yard, fell hollow and were swallowed up. now the judge was fiddling with the black cap, sitting it carelessly on the long grey wig so it hung over one ear. he began to speak, in a thin high voice that thornhill could barely hear. down in the body of the court one of the lounging ushers, a corpulent gent in a bulging dirty white waistcoat, caught sight of someone he knew across the room and made a mincing wave and a little smirk. a barrister fiddled with the grubby ruffles at his neck, another got out his snuff-box and offered it to his neighbour. it seemed the court could scarcely be bothered to listen as william thornhill, in the time between two heartbeats, was found guilty and sentenced to be taken from this place and hanged by the neck until you are dead .5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45", "21": "21 0486/11/m/j/18 \u00a9 ucles 2018 [turn over he heard a cry, from the public gallery or from his own mouth he did not know. he wanted to call out, i beg your pardon, your worship, there has been some mistake, but now the turnkey was grabbing him by the upper arm, forcing him down the steps, and through the door into the tunnel that led back to newgate. he turned his head towards the public gallery. sal was up there somewhere, but invisible. then he was back in the cell with the others, but without his story, stripped naked of his tale of injured innocence, stripped of everything but the knowledge that his moment of hope had been and gone, and left him now with nothing ahead but death.

hills, and most of the caves they could find. they discovered no trace of a burial, nor did they find anything in the caves. at one stage someone foolishly suggested we might have imagined it all. so my father produced the launchman and people from the township as witnesses to the fact that an old maori, dying, had actually been brought to our farm. that convinced them. but it didn\u2019t take them anywhere near finding the body. they traced the remnants of the tribe, living up the coast, and found that indeed an old man of the tribe was missing. no one denied that there had been a visit to our farm. but they maintained that they knew nothing about a body. the old man, they said, had just wandered off into the bush; they hadn\u2019t found him again. he might, they added, even still be alive. just to be on the safe side, in case there was any truth in their story, the police put the old man on the missing persons register, for all the good that might have done. but we knew. we knew every night we looked up at the hills that he was there, somewhere. so he was still alive, in a way. certainly it was a long time before he let us alone. and by then my father had lost all taste for the farm. it seemed the land itself had heaped some final indignity upon him, made a fool of him. he never talked again, anyway, about running sheep on the hills. when butter prices rose and land values improved, a year or two afterwards, he had no hesitation in selling out. we shifted into another part of the country entirely, for a year or two, and then into another. finally we found ourselves milking a small herd for town supply, not far from the city. we\u2019re still on that farm, though there\u2019s talk of the place being purchased soon for a city sub-division. we think we might sell, but we\u2019ll face the issue when it arises. now and then jim comes to see us, smart in a city suit, a lecturer at the university. my father always found it difficult to talk to jim, and very often now he goes off to bed and leaves us to it. one thing i must say about jim: he has no objection to helping with the milking. he insists that he enjoys it; perhaps he does. it\u2019s all flatland round our present farm, with one farm much like another, green grass and square farmhouses and pine shelter belts, and it\u2019s not exactly the place to sit out on a summer evening and watch shadows gathering on the hills. because there aren\u2019t hills within sight; or shadows either, for that matter. it\u2019s all very tame and quiet, apart from cars speeding on the highway. i get on reasonably well with jim. we read much the same books, have much the same opinions on a great many subjects. the city hasn\u2019t made a great deal of difference to him. we\u2019re both married, with young families. we also have something else in common: we were both in the war, fighting in the desert. one evening after milking, when we stood smoking and yarning in the cool, i remembered something

and it was pretty soon decided between them, that though far from clever, she shewed a tractable disposition, and seemed likely to give them little trouble. a mean opinion of her abilities was not confined to them. fanny could read, work, and write, but she had been taught nothing more; and as her cousins found her ignorant of many things with which they had been long familiar, they thought her prodigiously stupid, and for the first two or three weeks, were continually bringing some fresh report of it into the drawing room. \u2018dear mamma, only think, my cousin cannot put the map of europe together\u2014or my cousin cannot tell the principal rivers in russia\u2014or she never heard of asia minor\u2014or she does not know the difference between water-colours and crayons!\u2014how strange!\u2014did you ever hear any thing so stupid?\u2019 \u2018my dear,\u2019 their considerate aunt would reply; \u2018it is very bad, but you must not expect every body to be as forward and quick at learning as yourself.\u2019 \u2018but, aunt, she is really so very ignorant!\u2014do you know, we asked her last night, which way she would go to get to ireland; and she said, she should cross to the isle of wight. she thinks of nothing but the isle of wight, and she calls it the island, as if there were no other island in the world. i am sure i should have been ashamed of myself, if i had not known better long before i was so old as she is. i cannot remember the time when i did not know a great deal that she has not the least notion of yet. how long ago it is aunt, since we used to repeat the chronological order of the kings of england, with the dates of their accession, and most of the principal events of their reigns.\u2019 \u2018yes,\u2019 added the other; \u2018and of the roman emperors as low as severus; besides a great deal of the heathen mythology, and all the metals, semi-metals, planets, and distinguished philosophers.\u2019 \u2018very true, indeed, my dears, but you are blessed with wonderful memories, and your poor cousin has probably none at all. there is a vast deal of difference in memories, as well as in every thing else, and therefore you must make allowance for your cousin, and pity her deficiency. and remember that, if you are ever so forward and clever yourselves, you should always be modest; for, much as you know already, there is a great deal more for you to learn.\u2019 \u2018yes, i know there is, till i am seventeen. but i must tell you another thing of fanny, so odd and so stupid. do you know, she says she does not want to learn either music or drawing.\u2019 \u2018to be sure, my dear, that is very stupid indeed, and shews a great want of genius and emulation. but all things considered, i do not know whether it is not as well that it should be so, for, though you know (owing to me) your papa and mamma are so good as to bring her up with you, it is not at all necessary that she should be as accomplished as you are;\u2014on the contrary, it is much more desirable that there should be a difference.\u2019 such were the counsels by which mrs norris assisted to form her nieces\u2019 minds;

but her legs and arms, curiously enough, in spite of constant exposure to the sun, kept a miraculous whiteness which somehow made her seem more undressed than other girls who went scantily clad. the first time i stopped to talk to her, i was astonished at her soft voice and easy, gentle ways. the girls out there usually got rough and mannish after they went to herding. but lena asked jake and me to get off our horses and stay awhile, and behaved exactly as if she were in a house and were accustomed to having visitors. she was not embarrassed by her ragged clothes, and treated us as if we were old acquaintances. even then i noticed the unusual colour of her eyes \u2014 a shade of deep violet \u2014 and their soft, confiding expression. chris lingard was not a very successful farmer, and he had a large family. lena was always knitting stockings for little brothers and sisters, and even the norwegian women, who disapproved of her, admitted that she was a good daughter to her mother. as tony said, she had been talked about. she was accused of making ole benson lose the little sense he had \u2014 and that at an age when she should still have been in pinafores. ole lived in a leaky dugout somewhere at the edge of the settlement. he was fat and lazy and discouraged, and bad luck had become a habit with him. after he had had every other kind of misfortune, his wife, \u2018crazy mary,\u2019 tried to set a neighbour\u2019s barn on fire, and was sent to the asylum at lincoln. she was kept there for a few months, then escaped and walked all the way home, nearly two hundred miles, travelling by night and hiding in barns and haystacks by day. when she got back to the norwegian settlement, her poor feet were as hard as hoofs. she promised to be good, and was allowed to stay at home \u2014 though everyone realized she was as crazy as ever, and she still ran about barefooted through the snow, telling her domestic troubles to her neighbours. not long after mary came back from the asylum, i heard a young dane, who was helping us to thresh, tell jake and otto that chris lingard\u2019s oldest girl had put ole benson out of his head, until he had no more sense than his crazy wife. when ole was cultivating his corn that summer, he used to get discouraged in the field, tie up his team, and wander off to wherever lena lingard was herding. there he would sit down on the draw-side and help her watch her cattle. all the settlement was talking about it. the norwegian preacher\u2019s wife went to lena and told her she ought not to allow this; she begged lena to come to church on sundays. lena said she hadn\u2019t a dress in the world any less ragged than the one on her back. then 5 10 15202530354045", "15": "15 0486/13/m/j/18 \u00a9 ucles 2018 [turn over the minister\u2019s wife went through her old trunks and found some things she had worn before her marriage.

the veranda steps. a ray of light fell on him from our sleeping room, and i noticed that he looked very agitated. he sat without speaking for a few minutes. a donkey brayed in a neighbouring lane; wind rustled the avenue trees. i waited for him to open his mouth and tell me his business. i felt he might be wanting a loan of money; he must be in terrible straits. \u2018i want to ask you \u2026\u2019 he began. it was at this point that the donkey brayed into the night. \u2018it is a good omen they say, the braying of a donkey. so my request is well-timed.\u2019 \u2018go on,\u2019 i said, wondering how much he was going to want. \u2018tell me what you want,\u2019 i said. \u2018i want you to take charge of my school, and see that it does not go to ruin,\u2019 he said. worry seemed to have done its work on this poor man, i thought. \u2018all right,\u2019 i said, but added, \u2018but i\u2019ve my college \u2026\u2019 \u2018i know it,\u2019 he said. \u2018but do you think you are happy in your work there?\u2019 he asked. i did not reply. it needed no reply. \u2018but who cares for happiness in work? one works for the money \u2026\u2019 said i in my sober cynicism. \u2018true, true,\u2019 he said. \u2018i cannot compel you. please at least keep an eye on the school, and see that these children are not thrown into a hostile world \u2026\u2019 \u2018all right, all right,\u2019 i said, not wishing to offend a man mentally unsound. the light from our bedroom illuminated a part of his face. i looked at it. he had the abstraction of a mystic rather than of a maniac. i could not contain myself any longer. and so i cried, \u2018tell me, what is the matter?\u2019 he smiled and said: \u2018this is perhaps my last day. tomorrow, i may be no more.\u2019 his voice fluttered. \u2018you may remember that i had an astrologer\u2019s report with me, and i have also mentioned that my wife would get a big surprise in life; this is it. i never wanted to speak to anyone about it. but i felt i owed it to the children, not to leave the school without any arrangement for it. i hesitated the whole day, and a dozen times came up to your gate and turned away \u2026\u2019 i looked at him greatly puzzled: the man was talking as if he were moving to the next street \u2026 this was too disturbing \u2013 even for me who had been educated to accept and accommodate the idea of death. he spoke on quietly: \u2018my astrologer has written a month-to-month report, and my life has been going on in its details like a time-table. i see it so clearly that nothing ever worries me. i give things just their value \u2013 never unduly disturb my mind over affairs; which include also my wife, who, i find, conducts herself according to the time-table.\u2019 \u2018what is to happen to her?\u2019 i asked, almost involuntarily.5 10 15202530354045", "23": "23 0486/13/m/j/18 \u00a9 ucles 2018 [turn over \u2018god knows. i only hope she won\u2019t start a litigation against my brother, over their house and property.\u2019 i sat up, thinking it over. it seemed absurd to be talking thus. \u2018no, no, no,\u2019 i cried. \u2018it can\u2019t be.\u2019 \u2018it is,\u2019 he persisted.\u2018astrologers are not allowed to mention these things \u2026\u2019\u2018not my astrologer. he is not a professional predictor, but a hermit, who can see past, present, and future as one, and give everything its true value. he doesn\u2019t want you to put your head under the sand, thinking that you are unseen. man must essentially be a creature of strength and truth. you would love him if you met him, but i don\u2019t know where he is. he came one day for alms, took a fancy to me, and sat down and dictated my life to me after a glance at my palm, and took the road again in the evening. i have never seen him since. but the few hours he was with me he charged my mind with new visions, ideas and strength. my life underwent a revolution. it was after that i left my family and home and set up the school. they jeered at us and made fun of me, but i don\u2019t mind. my life has gone on precisely as he predicted.\u2019 [from chapter 7] explore the

from stories of ourselves remember to support your ideas with details from the writing. either 21 read this extract from to da-duh, in memoriam (by paule marshall), and then answer the question that follows it: we were in the back of the lorry finally, packed in among the barrels of ham, flour, cornmeal and rice and the trunks of clothes that my mother had brought as gifts. we made our way slowly through bridgetown\u2019s clogged streets, part of a funereal procession of cars and open-sided buses, bicycles, and donkey carts. the dim little limestone shops and offices along the way marched with us, at the same mournful pace, toward the same grave ceremony \u2013 as did the people, the women balancing huge baskets on top their heads as if they were no more than hats they wore to shade them from the sun. looking over the edge of the lorry i watched as their feet slurred the dust. i listened, and their voices, raw and loud and dissonant in the heat, seemed to be grappling with each other high overhead. da-duh sat on a trunk in our midst, a monarch amid her court. she still held my hand, but it was different now. i had suddenly become her anchor, for i felt her fear of the lorry with its asthmatic motor (a fear and distrust, i later learned, she held of all machines) beating like a pulse in her rough palm. as soon as we left bridgetown behind though, she relaxed, and while the others around us talked she gazed at the canes standing tall on either side of the winding marl road. \u2018c\u2019dear,\u2019 she said softly to herself after a time. \u2018the canes this side are pretty enough.\u2019 they were too much for me. i thought of them as giant weeds that had overrun the island, leaving scarcely any room for the small tottering houses of sunbleached pine we passed or the people, dark streaks as our lorry hurtled by. i suddenly feared that we were journeying, unaware that we were, toward some dangerous place where the canes, grown as high and thick as a forest, would close in on us and run us through with their stiletto blades. i longed then for the familiar: for the street in brooklyn where i lived, for my father who had refused to accompany us (\u2018blowing out good money on foolishness,\u2019 he had said of the trip), for a game of tag with my friends under the chestnut tree outside our ageing brownstone house. \u2018yes, but wait till you see st thomas canes,\u2019 da-duh was saying to me. \u2018they\u2019s canes father, bo,\u2019 she gave a proud arrogant nod. \u2018tomorrow, god willing, i goin\u2019 take you out in the ground and show them to you.\u2019 true to her word da-duh took me with her the following day out into the ground. it was a fairly large plot adjoining her weathered board and shingle house and consisting of a small orchard, a good-sized canepiece and behind the canes, where the land sloped abruptly down, a gully. she had purchased it with panama money sent her by her eldest son, my uncle joseph, who had died working on the canal. we entered the ground along a trail no wider than her body and as devious and complex as her reasons for showing me her land. da-duh strode briskly ahead, her slight form filled out this morning by the layers of sacking petticoats she wore under her working dress to protect her against the damp. a fresh white cloth, elaborately arranged around her head, added to her height, and lent her a vain, almost roguish air.5 10 15202530354045", "25": "25 0486/13/m/j/18 \u00a9 ucles 2018 her pace slowed once we reached the orchard, and glancing back at me occasionally over her shoulder, she pointed out the various trees. \u2018this here is a breadfruit,\u2019 she said. \u2018that one yonder is a papaw. here\u2019s a guava. this is a mango. i know you don\u2019t have anything like these in new york. here\u2019s a sugar apple.\u2019 (the fruit looked more like artichokes than apples to me.) \u2018this one bears limes \u2026\u2019 she went on for some time, intoning the names of the trees as though they were those of her gods. finally, turning to me, she said, \u2018i know you don\u2019t have anything this nice where you come from.\u2019 then, as i hesitated: \u2018i said i know you don\u2019t have anything this nice where you come from \u2026\u2019 \u2018no,\u2019 i said and my world did seem suddenly lacking.da-duh nodded and passed on. the orchard ended and we were on the narrow cart road that led through the canepiece, the canes clashing like swords above my cowering head. again she turned and her thin muscular arms spread wide, her dim gaze embracing the small field of canes, she said \u2013 and her voice almost broke under the weight of her pride, \u2018tell me, have you got anything like these in that place where you were born?\u2019 \u2018no.\u2019\u2018i din\u2019 think so. i bet you don\u2019t even know that these canes here and the sugar you eat is one and the same thing. that they does throw the canes into some damn machine at the factory and squeeze out all the little life in them to make sugar for you all so in new york to eat. i bet you don\u2019t know that.\u2019 how does marshall vividly convey the narrator\u2019s

what the people around me mean when they speak, perhaps. i look as though i am in a foreign country where i do not speak the language. kate looks both radiant and ethereal; her eyes are alight. her mouth is puckered into a mirthful v; she is trying to suppress a smile. the v of her mouth is echoed above her face by her two forked fingers, poised airily behind her head. but it is the picture of my mother that surprised me the most. mr sumarsono\u2019s portrait was of someone entirely different from the person i knew, though the face was the same. looking at it gave me the same feeling that the stopped escalator did; a sense of dislocation, a sudden uncertainty about my own beliefs. in the photograph my mother leans back against her chair like a queen, all her power evident, and at rest. her face is turned slightly away; she is guarding her privacy. her nose, her cheeks, her eyes, are bright with wine and excitement, but she is calm and amused. a mother cannot be beautiful, because she is so much more a mother than a woman, but in this picture it struck me, my mother looked, in an odd way, beautiful. i could see for the first time that other people might think she actually was beautiful. mr sumarsono\u2019s view of my mother was of a glowing, self-assured, generous woman. and mr sumarsono himself was a real person, despite his meekness. i knew that; i had seen him take control. his view meant something; i could not ignore it. and i began to wonder. we still have the pictures. mr sumarsono brought them with him the next time he came out for the weekend.", "6": "6 0486/41/m/j/18 \u00a9 ucles 2018 blank page", "7": "7 0486/41/m/j/18 \u00a9 ucles 2018 blank page", "8": "8 0486/41/m/j/18 \u00a9 ucles 2018 blank page permission to reproduce items where third-party owned material protected by copyright is included has been sought and cleared where possible. every reasonable effort has been made by the publisher (ucles) to trace copyright holders, but if any items requiring clearance have unwittingly been included, the publisher will be pleased to make amends at the earliest possible opportunity. to avoid the issue of disclosure of answer-related information to candidates, all copyright acknowledgements are reproduced online in the cambridge international examinations copyright acknowledgements booklet. this is produced for each series of examinations and is freely available to download at www.cie.org.uk after the live examination series. cambridge international examinations is part of the cambridge assessment group. cambridge assessment is the brand name of university of cambridge local examinations syndicate (ucles), which is itself a department of the university of cambridge." }, "0486_s18_qp_42.pdf": { "1": "this document consists of 5 printed pages, 3 blank pages and 1 insert. dc (rcl (go)) 149022/1 \u00a9 ucles 2018 [turn overcambridge international examinations cambridge international general certificate of secondary education *1303641981*literature (english) 0486/42 paper 4 unseen may/june 2018 1 hour 15 minutes no additional materials are required. read these instructions first an answer booklet is provided inside this question paper. you should follow the instructions on the front cover of the answer booklet. if you need additional answer paper ask the invigilator for a continuation booklet. answer either question 1 or question 2. you are advised to spend about 20 minutes reading the question paper and planning your answer. both questions in this paper carry equal marks.", "2": "2 0486/42/m/j/18 \u00a9 ucles 2018 answer either question 1 or question 2. either 1 read carefully the poem opposite, in which the poet shares wartime memories of his mother. how does the poet strikingly convey his impressions of his mother? to help you answer this question, you might consider: \u2022 the words and images the poet uses in the first stanza \u2022 how he describes her reaction to an air raid \u2022 how his thoughts and feelings develop towards the end of the poem.", "3": "3 0486/42/m/j/18 \u00a9 ucles 2018 [turn over to my mother most near, most dear, most loved and most far, under the window where i often found her sitting as huge as asia, seismic1 with laughter, gin and chicken helpless in her irish hand, irresistible as rabelais2, but most tender for the lame dogs and hurt birds that surround her \u2013 she is a procession no one can follow after but be like a little dog following a brass band. she will not glance up at the bomber3, or condescend to drop her gin and scuttle to a cellar, but lean on the mahogany table like a mountain whom only faith can move, and so i send o all my faith, and all my love to tell her that she will move from mourning into morning. 1 seismic : like an earthquake 2 rabelais : french writer famous for his outrageous humour 3 bomber : an aircraft carrying bombs", "4": "4 0486/42/m/j/18 \u00a9 ucles 2018 or 2 read carefully the following extract from a short story. hilary culvert is travelling to visit her older sister sheila, who is a university student. they are from the large family of a church of england minister. \t how \tdoes\tthe\twriter\tvividly\tconvey\thilary\u2019s\tdislike\tof\ther\tlife\tat\thome? to help you answer this question, you might consider: \u2022\t how\tthe\twriter\tportrays\thilary\u2019s\tfamily\tlife \u2022\t how\tshe\tdescribes \thilary\u2019s\tmother \u2022\t how\tshe\tconveys\thilary\u2019s\tdesire\tto\tescape. it should have been a relief to leave the flatlands of east anglia behind and cross into the hills and valleys of the west, but everywhere today seemed equally colourless. \thilary\tdidn\u2019t\tcare.\ther\tanticipation \tburned\tup\tbrightly\tenough\tby\titself.\t little flames of it licked up inside her. this was the first time she had been away from home alone. sheila was ahead of her in their joint project: to get as far away from home as possible, and not to become anything like their mother. at about the same time that sheila and hilary had confided to each other that they\tdidn\u2019t\tany\tlonger\tbelieve\tin\tgod,\tthey\thad\talso\tgiven\tup\tbelieving \tthat\tthe\t pattern of domestic life they had been brought up inside was the only one, or was even\tremotely \tdesirable. \tsomewhere \telse\tpeople\tlived\tdifferently;

2018 let us begin with two girls at a dance. they are at the edge of the room. one sits on a chair, opening and shutting a dance-card1 with gloved fingers. esme stands beside her, watching the dance unfold: the circling couples, the clasped hands, the drumming shoes, the whirling skirts, the bounce of the floor. it is the last hour of the year and the windows behind them are blank with night. the seated girl is dressed in something pale, esme forgets what. esme is in a dark red frock that doesn\u2019t suit her. she has lost her gloves. it begins here. or perhaps not. perhaps it begins earlier, before the party, before they dressed in their new finery, before the candles were lit, before the sand was sprinkled on the boards, before the year whose end they are celebrating began. who knows? either way it ends at a grille2 covering a window with each square exactly two thumbnails wide. if esme cares to gaze into the distance \u2013 that is to say, at what lies beyond the metal grille \u2013 she finds that, after a while, something happens to the focusing mechanism of her eyes. the squares of the grille will blur and, if she concentrates long enough, vanish. there is always a moment before her body reasserts itself, readjusting her eyes to the proper reality of the world, when it is just her and the trees, the road, the beyond. nothing in between. the squares at the bottom are worn free of paint and you can see the different layers of colour inside each other, like rings in a tree. esme is taller than most so can reach the part where the paint is new and thick as tar. behind her, a woman makes tea for her dead husband. is he dead? or just run off? esme doesn\u2019t recall. another woman is searching for water to pour on flowers that perished long ago in a seaside town not far from here. it is always the meaningless tasks that endure: the washing, the cooking, the clearing, the cleaning. never anything majestic or significant, just the tiny rituals that hold together the seams of human life. the girl obsessed with cigarettes has had two warnings already and everyone is thinking she is about to get a third. and esme is thinking, where does it begin \u2013 is it there, is it here, at the dance, in india, before? she speaks to no one, these days. she wants to concentrate, she doesn\u2019t like to muddy things with the distraction of speech. there is a zoetrope3 inside her head and she doesn\u2019t like to be caught out when it stops. whir, whir. stop. in india, then. the garden. herself aged about four, standing on the back step. above her, mimosa trees are shaking their heads at her, powdering the lawn with yellow dust. if she walked across it, she\u2019d leave a trail behind. she wants something. she wants something but she doesn\u2019t know what. it\u2019s like an itch she can\u2019t reach to scratch. a drink? her ayah4? a sliver of mango? she rubs at an insect bite on her arm and pokes at the yellow dust with her bare toe. in the distance somewhere she can hear her sister\u2019s skipping-rope hitting the ground and the short shuffle of feet in between. slap shunt slap shunt slap shunt. 1 dance-card : list of dance partners 2

the slime and ooze with which it was covered, and its sodden state, this boat and the two figures in it obviously were doing something that they often did, and were seeking what they often sought. half savage as the man showed, with no covering on his matted head, with his brown arms bare to between the elbow and the shoulder, with the loose knot of a looser kerchief1 lying low on his bare breast in a wilderness of beard and whisker, with such dress as he wore seeming to be made out of the mud that begrimed his boat, still there was business-like usage in his steady gaze. so with every lithe action of the girl, with every turn of her wrist, perhaps most of all with her look of dread or horror; they were things of usage. \u2018keep her out, lizzie. tide runs strong here. keep her well afore2 the sweep of it.\u2019 trusting to the girl\u2019s skill and making no use of the rudder, he eyed the coming tide with an absorbed attention. so the girl eyed him. but, it happened now, that a slant of light from the setting sun glanced into the bottom of the boat, and, touching a rotten stain there which bore some resemblance to the outline of a muffled human form, coloured it as though with diluted blood. this caught the girl\u2019s eye, and she shivered. \u2018what ails3 you?\u2019 said the man, immediately aware of it, though so intent on the advancing waters; \u2018i see nothing afloat.\u2019 the red light was gone, the shudder was gone, and his gaze, which had come back to the boat for a moment, travelled away again. wheresoever the strong tide met with an impediment4, his gaze paused for an instant. at every mooring- chain and rope, at every stationary boat or barge that split the current into a broad- arrowhead, at the offsets from the piers of southwark bridge, at the paddles of the river steamboats as they beat the filthy water, at the floating logs of timber lashed together lying off certain wharves, his shining eyes darted a hungry look. after a darkening hour or so, suddenly the rudder-lines tightened in his hold, and he steered hard towards the surrey shore. always watching his face, the girl instantly answered to the action in her sculling5; presently the boat swung round, quivered as from a sudden jerk, and the upper half of the man was stretched out over the stern6. the girl pulled the hood of a cloak she wore, over her head and over her face, and, looking backward so that the front folds of this hood were turned down the river, kept the boat in that direction going before the tide. until now, the boat had barely held her own, and had hovered about one spot; but now, the banks changed swiftly, and the deepening shadows and the kindling lights of london bridge were passed, and the tiers of shipping lay on either hand.",

annual joust, the regular fanfare, a call to arms, the imperative letters stern as clarion notes, the king\u2019s command, upon the pain of court-martial, to tilt at the old windmills. with creaking bones and suppressed grunts, we battle-weary knights creep to attention, ransack the wardrobes for our rusty armour, tuck the pot bellies with great finesse into the shrinking gear, and with helmets shutting off half our world, report for service. we are again united with sleek weapons we were betrothed to in our active cavalier days. we will keep charging up the same hills, plod through the same forests, till we are too old, too ill-fitted for life\u2019s other territories. the same trails will find us time and again, and we quick to obey, like children placed on carousels they cannot get off from, borne along through somebody\u2019s expensive fantasyland, with an oncoming rush of tedious rituals, masked threats and monsters armed with the same roar. in the end we will perhaps surprise ourselves and emerge unlikely heroes with long years of braving the same horrors pinned on our tunic fronts. we will have proven that sisyphus is not a myth. we will play the game till the monotony sends his lordship to sleep. we will march the same paths till they break onto new trails, our lives stumbling onto the open sea, into daybreak.

and as a marriage with mr rushworth would give her the enjoyment of a larger income than her father\u2019s, as well as ensure her the house in town, which was now a prime object, it became by the same rule of moral obligation, her evident duty to marry mr rushworth if she could. mrs norris was most zealous in promoting the match, by every suggestion and contrivance, likely to enhance its desirableness to either party; and among other means by seeking an intimacy with the gentleman\u2019s mother, who at present lived with him, and to whom she even forced lady bertram to go through ten miles of indifferent road, to pay a morning visit. it was not long before a good understanding took place between this lady and herself. mrs rushworth acknowledged herself very desirous that her son should marry, and declared that of all the young ladies she had ever seen, miss bertram seemed, by her amiable qualities and accomplishments, the best adapted to make him happy. mrs norris accepted the compliment, and admired the nice discernment of character which could so well distinguish merit. maria was indeed the pride and delight of them all\u2014perfectly faultless\u2014an angel; and of course, so surrounded by admirers, must be difficult in her choice; but yet as far as mrs norris could allow herself to decide on so short an acquaintance, mr rushworth appeared precisely the young man to deserve and attach her. after dancing with each other at a proper number of balls, the young people justified these opinions, and an engagement, with a due reference to the absent sir thomas, was entered into, much to the satisfaction of their respective families, and of the general lookers-on of the neighbourhood, who had, for many weeks past, felt the expediency of mr rushworth\u2019s marrying miss bertram. it was some months before sir thomas\u2019s consent could be received; but in the mean while, as no one felt a doubt of his most cordial pleasure in the connection, the intercourse of the two families was carried on without restraint, and no other attempt made at secrecy, than mrs norris\u2019s talking of it every where as a matter not to be talked of at present. edmund was the only one of the family who could see a fault in the business; but no representation of his aunt\u2019s could induce him to find mr rushworth a desirable companion. he could allow his sister to be the best judge of her own happiness, but he was not pleased that her happiness should centre in a large income; nor could he refrain from often saying to himself, in mr rushworth\u2019s company, \u2018if this man had not twelve thousand a year, he would be a very stupid fellow.\u20195 10 15 20 25 30 35 40", "11": "11 0486/11/m/j/19 \u00a9 ucles 2019 [turn over sir thomas, however, was truly happy in the prospect of an alliance so unquestionably advantageous, and of which he heard nothing but the perfectly good and agreeable. it was a connection exactly of the right sort;

as i pumped panting up steep hills he glided along beside me, joking steadily. he analysed my character, and he insisted on knowing what i disliked most about him (\u2018you\u2019re too conventional,\u2019 i said). he rode backward with no hands, he rode on his own handlebars, he jumped off and back on his moving bike as he had seen trick horseback riders do in the movies. he sang. despite the steady musical undertone in his speaking voice finny couldn\u2019t carry a tune, and he couldn\u2019t remember the melody or the words to any song. but he loved listening to music, any music, and he liked to sing. we reached the beach late in the afternoon. the tide was high and the surf was heavy. i dived in and rode a couple of waves, but they had reached that stage of power in which you could feel the whole strength of the ocean in them. the second wave, as it tore toward the beach with me, spewed me a little ahead of it, encroaching rapidly; suddenly it was immeasurably bigger than i was, it rushed me from the control of gravity and took control of me itself; the wave threw me down in a primitive plunge without a bottom, then there was a bottom, grinding sand, and i skidded onto the shore. the wave hesitated, balanced there, and then hissed back toward the deep water, its tentacles not quite interested enough in me to drag me with it. i made my way up on the beach and lay down. finny came, ceremoniously took my pulse, and then went back into the ocean. he stayed in an hour, breaking off every few minutes to come back to me and talk. the sand was so hot from the all-day sunshine that i had to brush the top layer away in order to lie down on it, and finny\u2019s progress across the beach became a series of high, startled leaps. the ocean, throwing up foaming sun-sprays across some nearby rocks, was winter cold. this kind of sunshine and ocean, with the accumulating roar of the surf and the salty, adventurous, flirting wind from the sea, always intoxicated phineas. he was everywhere, he enjoyed himself hugely, he laughed out loud at passing sea gulls. and he did everything he could think of for me. we had dinner at a hot dog stand, with our backs to the ocean and its now cooler wind, our faces toward the heat of the cooking range. then we walked on toward the centre of the beach, where there was a subdued new england strip of honky-tonks. the boardwalk lights against the deepening blue sky gained an ideal, starry beauty and the lights from the belt of honky-tonks and shooting galleries and beer gardens gleamed with a quiet purity in the clear twilight. finny and i went along the boardwalk in our sneakers and white slacks, finny in a light blue polo shirt and i in a t-shirt. i noticed that people were 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45", "21": "21 0486/11/m/j/19 \u00a9 ucles 2019 [turn over looking fixedly at him, so i took a look myself to see why. his skin radiated a reddish copper glow of tan, his brown hair had been a little bleached by the sun, and i noticed that the tan made his eyes shine with a cool blue- green fire. \u2018everybody\u2019s staring at you,\u2019 he suddenly said to me. \u2018it\u2019s because of that movie-star tan you picked up this afternoon \u2026 showing off again.\u2019 enough broken rules were enough that night. neither of us suggested going into any of the honky-tonks or beer gardens. we did have one glass of beer each at a fairly respectable-looking bar, convincing, or seeming to convince the bartender that we were old enough by a show of forged draft cards. then we found a good spot among some sand dunes at the lonely end of the beach, and there we settled down to sleep for the night. the last words of finny\u2019s usual nighttime monologue were, \u2018i hope you\u2019re having a pretty good time here. i know i kind of dragged you away at the point of a gun, but after all you can\u2019t come to the shore with just anybody and you can\u2019t come by yourself, and at this teen-age period in life the proper person is your best pal.\u2019 he hesitated and then added, \u2018which is what you are,\u2019 and there was silence on his dune. it was a courageous thing to say. exposing a sincere emotion nakedly like that at the devon school was the next thing to suicide. i should have told him then that he was my best friend also and rounded off what he had said. i started to;

had some desecrating hand effaced the traces of her presence? no; here too the setting was undisturbed. my feet sank into the same deep-piled daghestan; the book-shelves took the firelight on the same rows of rich subdued bindings; her arm-chair stood in its old place near the tea-table; and from the opposite wall her face confronted me. her face \u2013 but was it hers?

and always two long black shadows flitted before us or followed after, dark spots on the ruddy grass. we had been silent a long time, and the edge of the sun sank nearer and nearer the prairie floor, when we saw a figure moving on the edge of the upland, a gun over his shoulder. he was walking slowly, dragging his feet along as if he had no purpose. we broke into a run to overtake him. \u2018my papa sick all the time,\u2019 tony panted as we flew. \u2018he not look good, jim.\u2019 as we neared mr shimerda she shouted, and he lifted his head and peered about. tony ran up to him, caught his hand and pressed it against her cheek. she was the only one of his family who could rouse the old man from the torpor in which he seemed to live. he took the bag from his belt and showed us three rabbits he had shot, looked at \u00e1ntonia with a wintry flicker of a smile and began to tell her something. she turned to me. \u2018my tatinek make me little hat with the skins, little hat for win-ter!\u2019 she exclaimed joyfully. \u2018meat for eat, skin for hat\u2019 \u2014 she told off these benefits on her fingers. her father put his hand on her hair, but she caught his wrist and lifted it carefully away, talking to him rapidly. i heard the name of old hata. he untied the handkerchief, separated her hair with his fingers, and stood looking down at the green insect. when it began to chirp faintly, he listened as if it were a beautiful sound. i picked up the gun he had dropped; a queer piece from the old country, short and heavy, with a stag\u2019s head on the cock. when he saw me examining it, he turned to me with his far-away look that always made me feel as if i were down at the bottom of a well. he spoke kindly and gravely, and \u00e1ntonia translated: \u2018my tatinek say when you are big boy, he give you his gun. very fine, from bohemie. it was belong to a great man, very rich, like what you not got here; many fields, many forests, many big house. my papa play for his wedding, and he give my papa fine gun, and my papa give you.\u2019 i was glad that this project was one of futurity. there never were such people as the shimerdas for wanting to give away everything they had. even the mother was always offering me things, though i knew she expected substantial presents in return. we stood there in friendly silence, while the feeble minstrel sheltered in \u00e1ntonia\u2019s hair went on with its scratchy chirp. the old man\u2019s smile, as he listened, was so full of sadness, of pity for things, that i never afterward forgot it. as the sun sank there 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45", "13": "13 0486/12/m/j/19 \u00a9 ucles 2019 [turn over came a sudden coolness and the strong smell of earth and drying grass. \u00e1ntonia and her father went off hand in hand, and i buttoned up my jacket and raced my shadow home.

and to the pure genuine pleasure of the exercise, something was probably added in edmund\u2019s attendance and instructions, and something more in the conviction of very much surpassing her sex in general by her early progress, to make her unwilling to dismount. fanny was ready and waiting, and mrs norris was beginning to scold her for not being gone, and still no horse was announced, no edmund appeared. to avoid her aunt, and look for him, she went out. the houses, though scarcely half a mile apart, were not within sight of each other; but by walking fifty yards from the hall door, she could look down the park, and command a view of the parsonage and all its demesnes, gently rising beyond the village road; and in dr grant\u2019s meadow she immediately saw the group\u2014edmund and miss crawford both on horseback, riding side by side, dr and mrs grant, and mr crawford, with two or three grooms, standing about and looking on. a happy party it appeared to her\u2014all interested in one object\u2014cheerful beyond a doubt, for the sound of merriment ascended even to her. it was a sound which did not make her cheerful; she wondered that edmund should forget her, and felt a pang. she could not turn her eyes from the meadow, she could not help watching all that passed. at first miss crawford and her companion made the circuit of the field, which was not small, at a foot\u2019s pace; then, at her apparent suggestion, they rose into a canter; and to fanny\u2019s timid nature it was most astonishing to see how well she sat. after a few minutes, they stopt entirely, edmund was close to her, he was speaking to her, he was evidently directing her management of the bridle, he had hold of her hand; she saw it, or the imagination supplied what the eye could not reach. she must not wonder at all this; what could be more natural than that edmund should be making himself useful, and proving his good-nature by any one? she could not but think indeed that mr crawford might as well have saved him the trouble; that it would have been particularly proper and becoming in a brother to have done it himself; but mr crawford, with all his boasted good nature, and all his coachmanship, probably knew nothing of the matter, and had no active kindness in comparison of edmund. she began to think it rather hard upon the mare to have such double duty; if she were forgotten the poor mare should be remembered. her feelings for one and the other were soon a little tranquillized, by seeing the party in the meadow disperse, and miss crawford still on 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40", "11": "11 0486/13/m/j/19 \u00a9 ucles 2019 [turn over horseback, but attended by edmund on foot, pass through a gate into the lane, and so into the park, and make towards the spot where she stood. she began then to be afraid of appearing rude and impatient;

as a child deven had barely understood this but now that he himself occupied a not very dissimilar position at home, he felt protective towards the dead man, and in his imagination glorified and deified him as he had not done when he was living. at magical moments like this the fantasy took on the stuff of truth. it positively glowed \u2013 like the sunset. then the flock of parrots wheeled around, perhaps on finding the fields bare of grain, and returned to the tree above their heads, screaming and quarrelling as they settled amongst the thorns. one brilliant feather of spring green fluttered down through the air and fell at their feet in the grey clay. deven bent to pick it up and presented it to his son who stuck it behind his ear in imitation of his schoolteacher with the pencil. \u2018look, now i\u2019m master- ji,\u2019 he screamed excitedly. yes, that was the climax of that brief halcyon passage. it was as if the evening star shone through at that moment, casting a small pale illumination upon deven\u2019s flattened grey world. of course it could not be maintained, of course it had to diminish and decline. yes.5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45", "15": "15 0486/13/m/j/19 \u00a9 ucles 2019 [turn over when they got back to their house \u2013 dii/69 in that colony named after a leader of harijans \u2013 the careful brown paper parcel that deven had been making of the evening and tying up with care, came apart. sarla handed him a postcard that had arrived by the evening post with fingers damp from a bucket of washing. \u2018here,\u2019 she said with an eloquent sniff. she had read it, obviously. he took it and knew his doom had searched him out and found him after all. \u2018dear sir,\u2019 said the small, precise handwriting, in english. \u2018i\u2019m happy to learn of your decision to work as my secretary. please report earliest date convenient. i am wanting to dictate some poems to you. murad sahib is wanting to publish same. time is fleeting. yours faithfully \u2026\u2019 the name was signed in elegant, elaborate urdu.

who indeed knows why there can be comfort in a world of desolation? now god be thanked that there is a beloved one who can lift up the heart in suffering, that one can play with a child in the face of such misery. now god be thanked that the name of a hill is such music, that the name of a river can heal. aye, even the name of a river that runs no more. who indeed knows the secret of the earthly pilgrimage? who knows for what we live, and struggle and die? who knows what keeps us living and struggling, while all things break about us? who knows why the warm flesh of a child is such comfort, when one\u2019s own child is lost and cannot be recovered? wise men write many books, in words too hard to understand. but this, the purpose of our lives, the end of all our struggle, is beyond all human wisdom. oh god, my god, do not thou forsake me. yea, though i 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45", "23": "23 0486/13/m/j/19 \u00a9 ucles 2019 [turn over walk through the valley of the shadow of death, i shall fear no evil, if thou art with me.\u2026 but he stood up. that was msimangu talking at the door. it was time to continue the search.

nonetheless, as she read them over and over, she forgot for a moment where she was and she could picture her mother in the kitchen taking her basildon bond1 notepad and her envelopes and setting out to write a proper letter with nothing crossed out. rose, she thought, might have gone into the dining room to write on paper she had taken home from work, using a longer, more elegant white envelope than her mother had. eilis imagined that rose when she was finished might have left hers on the hall table, and her mother would have gone with both letters in the morning to the post office, having to get special stamps for america. she could not imagine where jack had written his letter, which was briefer than the other two, almost shy in its tone, as though he did not want to put too much in writing. she lay on the bed with the letters beside her. for the past few weeks, she realized, she had not really thought of home. the town had come to her in flashing pictures, such as the one that had come during the afternoon of the sale, and she had thought of course of her mother and rose, but her own life in enniscorthy 2, the life she had lost and would never have again, she had kept out of her mind. every day she had come back to this small room in this house full of sounds and gone over everything new that had happened. now, all that seemed like nothing compared to the picture she had of home, of her own room, the house in friary street, the food she had eaten there, the clothes she wore, how quiet everything was. all this came to her like a terrible weight and she felt for a second that she was going to cry. it was as though an ache in her chest was trying to force tears down her cheeks despite her enormous effort to keep them back. she did not give in to whatever it was. she kept thinking, attempting to work out what was causing this new feeling that was like despondency, that was like how she felt when her father died and she watched them closing the coffin, the feeling that he would never see the world again and she would never be able to talk to him again. she was nobody here. it was not just that she had no friends and family; it was rather that she was a ghost in this room, in the streets on the way to work, on the shop floor. nothing meant anything. the rooms in the house on friary street belonged to her, she thought; when she moved in them she was really there. in the town, if she walked to the shop or to the vocational school, the air, the light, the ground, it was all solid and part of her, even if she met no one familiar. nothing here was part of her. it was false, empty, she thought. she closed her eyes and tried to think, as she had done so many times in her life, of something she was looking forward to, but there was nothing. not the slightest thing. not even sunday. nothing maybe except sleep, and she was not even certain she was looking forward to sleep. in any case, she could not sleep yet, since it was not yet nine o\u2019clock. there was nothing she could do. it was as though she had been locked away. 1 basildon bond : brand of stationery 2 enniscorthy : eilis\u2019s home town in ireland", "6": "6

which katsumi hosokawa first heard opera, verdi\u2019s rigoletto. his father had taken him to tokyo by train and together they walked to the theatre in a steady downpour. it was october 22 and so it was a cold autumn rain and the streets were waxed in a paper- thin layer of wet red leaves. when they arrived at the tokyo metropolitan festival hall, their undershirts were wet beneath coats and sweaters. the tickets waiting inside katsumi hosokawa\u2019s father\u2019s billfold 1 were wet and discoloured. they did not have especially good seats, but their view was unobstructed. in 1954, money was precious; train tickets and operas were unimaginable things. in a different time, such a production would have seemed too complicated for a child, but this was only a handful of years after the war and children then were much more likely to understand a whole host of things that might seem impossible for children now. they climbed the long set of stairs to their row, careful not to look down into the dizzying void beneath them. they bowed and begged to be excused by every person who stood to let them pass into their seats, and then they unfolded their seats and slipped inside. they were early, but other people were earlier, as part of the luxury that came with the ticket price was the right to sit quietly in this beautiful place and wait. they waited, father and son, without speaking, until finally the darkness fell and the first breath of music stirred from someplace far below them. tiny people, insects, really, slipped out from behind the curtains, opened their mouths, and with their voices gilded the walls with their yearning, their grief, their boundless, reckless love that would lead each one to separate ruin. it was during that performance of rigoletto that opera imprinted itself on katsumi hosokawa, a message written on the pink undersides of his eyelids that he read to himself while he slept. many years later, when everything was business, when he worked harder than anyone in a country whose values are structured on hard work, he believed that life, true life, was something that was stored in music. true life was kept safe in the lines of tchaikovsky\u2019s eugene onegin 2 while you went out into the world and met the obligations required of you. certainly he knew (though did not completely understand) that opera wasn\u2019t for everyone, but for everyone he hoped there was something. the records he cherished, the rare opportunities to see a live performance, those were the marks by which he gauged his ability to love. not his wife, his daughters, or his work. he never thought that he had somehow transferred what should have filled his daily life into opera. instead he knew that without opera, this part of himself would have vanished altogether. it was early in the second act, when rigoletto and gilda sang together, their voices twining, leaping, that he reached out for his father\u2019s hand. he had no idea what they were saying, nor did he know that they played the parts of father and daughter, he only knew that he needed to hold to something. the pull they had on him was so strong he could feel himself falling forward out of the high and distant seats. 1 billfold : wallet 2 eugene onegin : an opera by tchaikovsky", "6": "6 0486/42/m/j/19 \u00a9 ucles 2019 blank page", "7": "7 0486/42/m/j/19 \u00a9

a little one next an older one, who was to watch over his behaviour and to see that he got his food. anna and yulka left their chairs from time to time to bring fresh plates of kolaches and pitchers of milk. after supper we went into the parlour, so that yulka and leo could play for me. \u00e1ntonia went first, carrying the lamp. there were not nearly chairs enough to go round, so the younger children sat down on the bare floor. little lucie whispered to me that they were going to have a parlour carpet if they got ninety cents for their wheat. leo, with a good deal of fussing, got\u2003out\u2003his\u2003violin.\u2003it\u2003was\u2003old\u2003mr.\u2003shimerda\u2019s \u2003instrument, \u2003which\u2003\u00e1ntonia\u2003had\u2003 always kept, and it was too big for him. but he played very well for a self- taught\u2003boy.\u2003poor\u2003yulka\u2019s\u2003efforts\u2003were\u2003not\u2003so\u2003successful. \u2003while\u2003they\u2003were\u2003 playing, little nina got up from her corner, came out into the middle of the floor, and began to do a pretty little dance on the boards with her bare feet. no one paid the least attention to her, and when she was through she stole back and sat down by her brother. \u00e1ntonia spoke to leo in bohemian. he frowned and wrinkled up his face. he seemed to be trying to pout, but his attempt only brought out dimples in unusual places. after twisting and screwing the keys, he played some bohemian airs, without the organ to hold him back, and that went better. the boy was so restless that i had not had a chance to look at his face before. my first impression was right;

his daughters absent and herself not consulted! there was comfort, however, soon at hand. she must be the doer of every thing; lady bertram would of course be spared all thought and exertion, and it would all fall upon her. she should have to do the honours of the evening, and this reflection quickly restored so much of her good humour as enabled her to join in with the others, before their happiness and thanks were all expressed. edmund, william, and fanny, did, in their different ways, look and speak as much grateful pleasure in the promised ball, as sir thomas could desire. edmund\u2019s feelings were for the other two. his father had never conferred a favour or shewn a kindness more to his satisfaction. lady bertram was perfectly quiescent and contented, and had no objections to make. sir thomas engaged for its giving her very little trouble, and she assured him, \u2018that she was not at all afraid of the trouble, indeed she could not imagine there would be any.\u20195 10 15 20 25 30 35 40", "11": "11 0486/12/o/n/19 \u00a9 ucles 2019 [turn over mrs norris was ready with her suggestions as to the rooms he would think fittest to be used, but found it all pre-arranged; and when she would have conjectured and hinted about the day, it appeared that the day was settled too. sir thomas had been amusing himself with shaping a very complete outline of the business; and as soon as she would listen quietly, could read his list of the families to be invited, from whom he calculated, with all necessary allowance for the shortness of the notice, to collect young people enough to form twelve or fourteen couple; and could detail the considerations which had induced him to fix on the 22d, as the most eligible day. william was required to be at portsmouth on the 24th; the 22d would therefore be the last day of his visit; but where the days were so few it would be unwise to fix on any earlier. mrs norris was obliged to be satisfied with thinking just the same, and with having been on the point of proposing the 22d herself, as by far the best day for the purpose. the ball was now a settled thing, and before the evening, a proclaimed thing to all whom it concerned.

and i entirely agree with you in the main as to the propriety of doing every thing one could by way of providing for a child one had in a manner taken into one\u2019s own hands; and i am sure i should be the last person in the world to withhold my mite upon such an occasion. having no children of my own, who should i look to in any little matter i may ever have to bestow, but the children of my sisters?\u2014 and i am sure mr norris is too just\u2014but you know i am a woman of few words and professions. do not let us be frightened from a good deed by a trifle. give a girl an education, and introduce her properly into the world, and ten to one but she has the means of settling well, without farther expense to any body. a niece of our\u2019s, sir thomas, i may say, or, at least of your\u2019s , would not grow up in this neighbourhood without many advantages. i don\u2019t say she would be so handsome as her cousins. i dare say she would not; but she would be introduced into the society of this country under such very favourable circumstances as, in all human probability, would get her a creditable establishment. you are thinking of your sons\u2014but do not you know that of all things upon earth that is the least likely to happen; brought up, as they would be, always together like brothers and sisters? it is morally impossible. i never knew an instance of it. it is, in fact, the only sure way of providing against the connection. suppose her a pretty girl, and seen by tom or edmund for the first time seven years hence, and i dare say there would be mischief. the very idea of her having been suffered to grow up at a distance from us all in poverty and neglect, would be enough to make either of the dear sweet-tempered boys in love with her. but breed her up with them from this time, and suppose her even to have the beauty of an angel, and she will never be more to either than a sister.\u2019 \u2018there is a great deal of truth in what you say,\u2019 replied sir thomas, \u2018and far be it from me to throw any fanciful impediment in the way of a plan which would be so consistent with the relative situations of each. i only meant to observe, that it ought not to be lightly engaged in, and that to make it really serviceable to mrs price, and creditable to ourselves, we must secure to the child, or consider ourselves engaged to secure to her hereafter, as circumstances may arise, the provision of a gentlewoman, if no such establishment should offer as you are so sanguine in expecting.\u2019 \u2018i thoroughly understand you,\u2019 cried mrs norris;

without words, the way you lowered your head when i said anything that embarrassed you, and the clean nape of your neck. the day i think about most was the day we climbed the head at ballycastle. in a

first kissed you and the look of disbelief in your eyes that made me laugh afterwards. it makes me laugh now to see myself savouring these memories standing alone up to my thighs in muck. it is

0486/41/o/n/19 \u00a9 ucles 2019 lying in his deck-chair, fortified morally by the luxurious surroundings and inwardly by the abundance of well-prepared food, he tried to take an objective look at his past life. the last four years had been for the most part a waste, there was no denying that. a series of haphazard jobs, long perilous intervals with no job at all and consequent demoralization because of having no money, and then taking up with stupid, silly people in order not to be lonely, or because they could offer him something for a while, as marc priminger had. it was not a record to be proud of, considering he had come to new york with such high aspirations. he had wanted to be an actor, though at twenty he had not had the faintest idea of the difficulties, the necessary training, or even the necessary talent. he had thought he had the necessary talent and that all he would have to do was show a producer a few of his original one-man skits 1 but his first three rebuffs2 had killed all his courage and his hope. he had had no reserve of money, so he had taken the job on the banana boat, which at least had removed him from new york. he had been afraid that aunt dottie had called the police to look for him in new york, though he hadn\u2019t done anything wrong in boston, just run off to make his own way in the world as millions of young men had done before him. his main mistake had been that he had never stuck to anything, he thought, like the accounting job in the department store that might have worked into something, if he had not been so completely discouraged by the slowness of department-store promotions. well, he blamed aunt dottie to some extent for his lack of perseverance, never giving him credit when he was younger for anything he had stuck to \u2013 like his paper route when he was thirteen. he had won a silver medal from the newspaper for \u2018courtesy, service, and reliability\u2019. it was like looking back at another person to remember himself then, a skinny, snivelling wretch with an eternal cold in the nose, who had still managed to win a medal for courtesy, service, and reliability. aunt dottie had hated him when he had a cold; she used to take her handkerchief and nearly wrench his nose off, wiping it. tom writhed in his deck-chair as he thought of it, but he writhed elegantly, adjusting the crease of his trousers. he remembered the vows he had made, even at the age of eight, to run away from aunt dottie, the violent scenes he had imagined \u2013 aunt dottie trying to hold him in the house, and he hitting her with his fists, flinging her to the ground and throttling her, and finally tearing the big brooch off her dress and stabbing her a million times in the throat with it. he had run away at seventeen and had been brought back, and he had done it again at twenty and succeeded. and it was astounding and pitiful how na\u00efve he had been, how little he had known about the way the world worked, as if he had spent so much of his time hating aunt dottie and scheming how to escape her, that he had not had enough time to learn and grow. 1 skits : comic sketches or routines 2 rebuffs :

favoured planet that we only imagined we had known. we stood there, looking into hills and valleys where grass still grew, though more thinly, and where the movement of water was still quick and free; we saw how the herds of animals of the cold spread everywhere, making our ears ring and hurt with their savage exulting bellowing because they had found some grass. we were a company of thin yellow light-boned birdlike creatures, engulfed in the thick pelts of the herds, wildly gazing at a landscape that no longer matched us. and, as we had taken to doing more and more, we gazed up, our eyes kept returning to the skies, where the birds moved easily. no, they were not the small and pretty birds of the warm times, flocks and groups and assemblies darting and swirling and swooping as one, moving as fast as water does when its molecules are dancing. they were the birds of this chilly time, individual, eagles and hawks and buzzards 1, moving slowly on wings that did not beat, but balanced. they too had heavy shoulders and their eyes glared from thick feathers, and they circled and swept about the skies on the breath of freezing winds that had killed our familiar flocks sometimes as they flew; so that, seeing the little brightly coloured bodies drop from the air, we had looked up and imagined we could see, too, the freezing blast that had struck them down out of the sky. but they were birds, these great savage creatures; they could move; they could sweep from one end of a valley to the other in the time we could hold a breath. we had once been as they were, we told ourselves, as we stood there on the wall slowed and clumsy in our thick skins \u2013 the wall which, on the side towards the ice, was dimmed and clouded, no longer a brilliant shining black, but

stillman, who he thinks is a dangerous criminal. they now meet for the first time. how does the writer make this encounter so unsettling? to help you answer this question, you might consider: \u2022 how the writer creates tension before they speak \u2022 what is both entertaining and disturbing about their conversation \u2022 the discussion of names at the end of the passage. the first meeting with stillman took place in riverside park. it was mid- afternoon, a saturday of bicycles, dog-walkers, and children. stillman was sitting alone on a bench, staring out at nothing in particular, the little red notebook on his lap. there was light everywhere, an immense light that seemed to radiate outward from each thing the eye caught hold of, and overhead, in the branches of the trees, a breeze continued to blow, shaking the leaves with a passionate hissing, a rising and falling that breathed on as steadily as surf. quinn had planned his moves carefully. pretending not to notice stillman, he sat down on the bench beside him, folded his arms across his chest, and stared out in the same direction as the old man. neither of them spoke. by his later calculations, quinn estimated that this went on for fifteen or twenty minutes. then, without warning, he turned his head toward the old man and looked at him point blank, stubbornly fixing his eyes on the wrinkled profile. quinn concentrated all his strength in his eyes, as if they could begin to burn a hole in stillman\u2019s skull. this stare went on for five minutes. at last stillman turned to him. in a surprisingly gentle tenor voice he said, \u2018i\u2019m sorry, but it won\u2019t be possible for me to talk to you.\u2019 \u2018i haven\u2019t said anything,\u2019 said quinn. \u2018that\u2019s true,\u2019 said stillman. \u2018but you must understand that i\u2019m not in the habit of talking to strangers.\u2019 \u2018i repeat,\u2019 said quinn, \u2018that i haven\u2019t said anything.\u2019 \u2018yes, i heard you the first time. but aren\u2019t you interested in knowing why?\u2019 \u2018i\u2019m afraid not.\u2019 \u2018well put. i can see you\u2019re a man of sense.\u2019 quinn shrugged, refusing to respond. his whole being now exuded indifference. stillman smiled brightly at this, leaned toward quinn, and said in a conspiratorial voice, \u2018i think we\u2019re going to get along.\u2019 \u2018that remains to be seen,\u2019 said quinn after a long pause. stillman laughed \u2013 a brief, booming \u2018haw\u2019 \u2013 and then continued. \u2018it\u2019s not that i dislike strangers per se1. it\u2019s just that i prefer not to speak to anyone who does not introduce himself. in order to begin, i must have a name.\u2019 \u2018but once a man gives you his name, he\u2019s no longer a stranger.\u2019 \u2018exactly. that\u2019s why i never talk to strangers.\u2019 quinn had been prepared for this and knew how to answer. he was not going to let himself be caught. since he was technically paul
