Text one (p.9) Three men in a boat By Jerome K.Jerome Jerome K.Jerome is a well-known English writter, whose novels Three Man in a boat, The Idle Thougths of an Idle Fellow, Novel Notes and Three man on the Bummel have enjoyed great popularity Jerome K.Jerome is famous for his art of story-telling, his vivid , style and his humour which is generally expressed in laughter-provoking misunderstanding. With sparking sides of human nature. Capter XIV situations often based on humour he criticized the weak

We got out at Sonning, and went for a walk round the village. Its the most fairy-look on the whole river. Its more like a stage village than one built of bricks and mortar. Every house is smothered
, in roses, and now, in early

June, thery were bursting forth in clouds of dainty

splendour , . If you stop at Sonning, put up at the Bull, behind the church. Its a veritable picture of an old country inn , with a green,

square courtyard beneath their ale

in front, where, on seats the trees, the old men group of an evening to drink over village politics; windows and

ande gossip

with low quaint rooms and latticed awkward

.

stairs and winding passages

We roamed about sweet Sonning for an hour or so, and then, it being too late to push on past Reading, we decided to go back to one of the Shiplake islands, and put up there for the night. It was still early when we got settled and George said that, as we had plenty of time, it would be a splendid opportunity to try a good, slap-up supper. He said he would show us what could be done up the river in the way of cooking, and suggested that, with the vegetables and the remains of the cold beef and general odds and ends, we should make an Irish stew . It seemed a fascinating idea. George gathered wood and made a fire, and Harris and I started to peel the potatoes. I should never have thought that peeling potatoes was such an undertaking . The job turned out to be the biggest thing of its kind that I had ever been in. We began cheerfully, one might almost say skittishly but our light-heartedness was gone by the

time the first potato was finnished. The more we peeled, the more the peel there seemed to be left on ; by the time we had got all the peel off and all the eyes out , there was no potato left at least none worth speaking of. George came and had a look at it it was about the size of pea-nut
. He said: Oh, that wont do! Youre wasting them. You must scarpe them.

So we scared them and that was harder work than peeling. They are such an extraordinary shape, potatoes all bumps and warts and hollows . We worked steadily for five-andtwenty minutes, and did four potatoes. Then we struck . We said we should require the rest of the evening for scrapping ourselves. I never saw such a thing as potato-scraping for making a fellow in a mess . It seemed difficult to believe that the potato-scrapings in which Harris and I stood.half-smothered , could have come off four potatoes. It shows you what can be done with economy and care. George said it was absurd to have only four potatoes in an Irish stew, so we washed half a dozen or so more and put them in without peeling. We also put in a cabbage and about half a peck of peas - . George stirred it all up, and then he said that there seemed to be a lot of room to spare , so we overhauled both the hampers , and picked out all the odds and ends and the remnants , and added them to the stew. There were half a pork pie and a bit of cold boiled bacon left, and we put them in. Then George found half a tin of potted salmon , and he emptied that into the pot . He said that was the advantage , of Irish stew: you got rid of such a lot of things. I fished out

a couple of eggs that had got cracked, and we put those in. George said they would thicken the gravy .

I forget the other ingridients, but I know nothing was wasted; and I remember that towards the end, Montmorency, who had evinced great interest in the proceedings throughout , strolled away with an earnest and thoughtful air , reappearing, a few minutes afterwards , with a dead water-rat in his mouth, which he evidently wished to present us contribution to the dinner; whether in a sarcastic spirit, or with a general desire to assist, I cannot say. We had a discussion as to whether the rat should do in or not. Harris said that he thought it would be all right, mixed up with the other things, and that every little helped; but George stood up for precedent! He said he had never heard of water-rats in Irish stew, and he would rather be on the safe side , and not try experiments. Harris said: If you never try a new thing how can you tell what its like? Its men such as you that hamper the worlds progress. Think of the man who first tried German sausage! It was a great success, that Irish stew, I dont think I ever enjoyed a meal more. There was something so fresh and piquant palate about it. Ones
gets so tired of the old hackneyed , things: here was a dish with a new flavour, with a

taste like nothing else on earth. And it was nourishing , too. As George said, there was good stuff in it. The peas and potatoes might have been a bit softer, but we all had good teeth, so that did not matter much; and as for the gravy, it was a poem a little too rich, perhaps, for a weak stomach, but nutritious

Unit II Text two(p.39) Encountering directors By C.Samuels Interviewing Ingmar Bergman (Extract) Ingmar Bergman a famous Swedish film director, writer and theatre producer was born in 1918. His psychological films are well known all over the world. Crisis(1945), Smiles of Summer Night(1956), Seventh Seal(1957), Wild Strawberries(1958), The Silence(1963), Autumn Sonata(1978) are only a few films made by him. I.Bergman himself wrote the scripts for most of his films and won awards for many of them. In the focus of his attention peoples fates , are put. The people usually have a lot of problems.

Bergman focuses attention on the fate of his characters are isolated people who suffer from the harsh realities of the cruel world in which they live. Its difficult to understand the majority of Bergmans films since distinction between reality and the world of the imagination is blurred , . Samuels: Mr. Bergman, Id like to start with a rather general question: If I were asked to cite a single reason for your pre-eminence among film directors, I would point to your creation of a cpecial world. You are, in fact, very much like a writer. Why didnt you become a one? Bergman: When I was a child, I suffered from an almost complete lack of words. My education was very rigid , ; my father was a priest . As a result, I lived in a private world of ny own dreams. I played with my puppet S.: AndB.: Excuse me. I had very few contacts with reality or channels to it. I was afraid of my father, my mother, my elder brother everything.Playing with this puppet theatre and a projection device I had was my only form of self-expression. I had great difficulty with fiction and realty; as a small child I mixed them up so much that my family always said I was a liar. S.: I want to interrupt you for just a moment. This description of your childhood resembles one classic description of the genesis of a writer. Was it only the accident of the puppet theatre that sent you the way of theatre rather than of books? B.: No. When I began writing I liked it very much. But I never felt that writing was my cup of tea . And I always lacked words; it has always been very difficult for me to find the world I want. I have always felt suspicious both what I say and what others say to me. I always feel something has been out. When I read a book. I read very slowly. It takes me a lot of time to read a play. S.: Do you direct it in your head?
theatre.

B.: In a way. I have to translate the words into speeches, flesh and blood. I have an enormous need for contact with an audience, with other people. For me, words are not satisfying . S.: With a book, the reader is elsewhere - . B.: When you read, words have to pass through your conscious mind to reach your emotions and your soul. In film and theatre, things go directly to the emotions. What I need is to come in contact with others. S.: I see that, but it raises a problem Im sure youve often discussed. Your films have emotional impact , but since they are also the most intellectually difficult of contemporary films, isnt there sometimes a contradiction between the two effects? How do you react when I say that while I watched The Rite, my feelings were interfered with by my baffled effort at comprehension? B.: Your approach is wrong. I never asked you to understand, I ask only that you feel. S.: And the film asks me to understand. The film continiously makes us wonder what the spectacle means. B.: Buts you. S.: Its not the film? B.: No. The Rite merely , expresses my resentment , against the critics, audience, and government, with wich I was in contact battle while I ran the theatre. A year after my resignation from the post, I sat down and wrote the script in five days. The picture is just a game. S.: To puzzle the audience? B.: Exactly. I liked writng it very much and even more making it. We had a lot of fun while we were shooting . My purpose was just to amuse myself and the audience. Do you understand what I mean?

S.: I understand, but certain members of the audience cant resist poining out that Bergman is sending messages, he thinks, but what are they and why? B.: You must realize this is very important! I never ask people to understand what I have made. Stravinsky once said, I have never understood a piece of music in my life. I always only feel. S.: But Stravinsky was a composer. By its nature, music is nondiscursive ; we dont have to understand it. Films, plays, poems, novels, all make propositions or observations, embody , ideas or beliefs and we go to these formsB.: But you must understand that your view is distorted . You belong to a small minority that tries to understand. I never try to understand. Music, films, plays always work directly on the emotions. S.: I must disagree. Im afraid I didnt make myself clear B.: I must tell you before we go on to more complicated things: I make my pictures for use! They are made to put me in contact with other human beings . My impulse has nothing to do with intellect or symbolism: it has only to do with dreams and longing , with hope and desire, with passion. S.: Does it bother you when critics interpret you through these items , ? B.: Not at all. And let me tell you, I learn more from critics who honestly criticize my pictures than form those who are devout . And they influence me. They help me change things. You know that actors often change a film, for better or worse. S.: May I ask you how The Touch differs from the one you intended? B.: I intended to paint a portrait of any ordinary woman, for whom everything around was a reflection. Bibi Anderson is a close friend of mine a lovely and extremely talanted actress. She is totally oriented towards reality, always needing motives for what she does. I admire her and love her. But she changed the film. What Bibi Anderson did made the film more comprehensible for

ordinary people and more immediately powerful. I agreed with all her changes. S.: You use music less and less in your films. Why? B.: Because I think that film itself is music, and I cant put music in music. S.: If you could have shot all your films in colour, would you have? B.: No. Because its more fascinating to shoot in black and white and force people to imagine the colours. S.: Do you work in colour now to any degree because you feel that the audience demands it? B.: No. I like it. At the beginning, it was painful , but now I like it. S.: Why do you use so much dialogue in your films? B.: Because human communication occurs through words. I tried once to eliminate language, in The silence, and I feel that picture is excessive . S.: Its too abstract. B.: Yes. S.: Some people have criticized your films for being too theatrical particularly the early ones. How do you answer this charge ? B.: Im a director S.: But arent the two forms different? B.: Completely. In my earlier pictures, it was very difficult for me to go from directing in the theatre to directing films. I had always felt technically crippled insecure with the crew, the cameras, the sound equipment everything. Sometimes a film succeeded, but I never got what I wanted to get. But in summer Interlude, I suddenly felt that I knew my profession. S.: Do you have any idea why?

B.: I dont know, but for heavens sake a day must always come along when finally one succeeds in understanding his profession! Im so impressed by young derectors now who know how to make a film from the first moment. S.: But they have nothing to say. (Bergman laughs.) Vocabulary notes. point n 1. , 2. 3. , (, ,

Each child would review the events of his school week in his own words, in his own way; he was free to comment, to criticise, to agree or disagree, with any person, subject or method, as long as it was in some way associated with the school. No one and nothing was sacred , from the Headmaster down, and the child, moreover , was safe from any form of reprisal
.

Look at this way, Mr. Florian said. It is of advantage to both pupils and teacher. If a child wants to write about something which matters to him, he will take some pains to set it down as carefully and with as much detail as possible: that must in some way improve his written English in terms of spelling, construction and style. Week by week we are able, through his riview, to follow and observe his progress in such things. As for the teachers, we soon get a pretty good idea what the children think of us and whether or not we are getting close to themYou will discover that these children are reasonably fair , , even when they comment on us. If we are careless about our clothing, manners or person they will soon notice it, and it would be pointless to be angry with them for pointing such things out . Finally, from the reviews, the sensible teacer will observe the trend , , of individual and collective interests and plan his work accordingly. On the first Friday of my association with the class I was anxious to discover what sort of figure I cut in front of them, and what kind of comment they would make about me. I read through some of the reviews at lunch-time, and must admit to a mixture of relief

 and disappointment at discovering that, apart from mentioning they had a new blackie teacher, very little attention

was given to me It occurred to me that they probably imagined I would be as transient as my many predecessors , and therefore saw no point in wasting either time or effort in writing about me. But if I had made so little impression on them, it must be my own fault, I decided. It was up to me to find some way to get through to them. Thereafter , I tried very hard to be a successful teacher with my class, but somehow , as day followed day in painful , procession , I realized that I was not making the grade . I bought and read books on the psychology of teaching in an effort to discover some way of providing the children with the sort of intellectual challenge , to which they would respond , but the suggested methods somehow did non meet my particular need, and just did not work. It was as if I were trying to reach the children through a thick pane of glass , so remote and uninterested they seemed. Looking back, I realize that in fact I passed through three phases in my relationship with them. The first was the silent treatment, and during that time, for my first few weeks, they would do any task I set them without question or protest, but equally without interest or enthusiasm; and if their interest was not required for the task in front of them would sit and stare at me with the same careful patient attention a birdwatcher devotes , to the rare feathered
visitor

I took great pains with the planning of my lessons, using illustrations from the familiar things of their own background . I created various problems within the domestic framework, and tried to encourage their participation, but it was as though there were a conspiracy of indifference, and my attempts at informality , fell pitifully flat .

Gradually they moved on to the second and more annoying phase of their campaign, the noisy treatment. Its true to say that all of them did not actively join in this but those who did not were obviously in same symphaty with those who did. During a lesson, especially one in wich it was necessary for me to read or spak to them, someone would lift the lid of a desk and then let it fall with a loud bang ; the culprit would merely sit and look at me with wide innocent eyes as if it were an accident. They knew as well as I did that there was nothing I could do about it, and I bore it with as much show of aplomb as could manage. One or two such interruptions during a lesson were usually enough to destroy its planned continuity So I felt angry and frustrated when they rudely interrupted that which was being done purely for their own benefit . One morning I was reading to them some simple poetry. Just when I thought I had inveigled them into active interest one of the girls, Monica Page, let the top of the desk fall; the noise seemed to reverberate in every part of my being and I felt a sudden burning anger. I looked at her some moments before daring to open my mouth; she returned my gaze, then casually remarked to the class at large , : The bleeding thing wont stay up . It was all rather deliberate , , the noisy interruption and the crude remark, and it heralded the third stage of their conduct. From then on the words bloody or bleeding were hardly ever - absent from any remark they made to one another especilally in the classroom. They would call out to each other on any silly pretext , and refer to the bleeding this or that , and always in a voice loud enough for my ears. One day during an arithmetic period I played right into their hands. I was so overcome by anger and disgust that I completely lost my temper I went upstairs and sat in the library, the only place where I could be alone for a little while. I felt sick at heart, because it seemed that this latest act, above all others, was intended to display their utter disrespect for me. They seemed to have no sense of decency , these children; everythying they

said or did was coloured by an ugly viciousness , as if their minds were forever rooting after filth , . Why, oh why, I asked myself, did they behave like that? What was wrong with them? school n 1) (nursery school , primary school , secondary school , boarding school , compulsory school age ) 2) ( ) , , . 3) . 4) , , (ballet school law school ) 5) to go to school, to be at school schooling n , scholar n ( ) scholarship n advantage n 1) , 2) , to have (win, gain, give smb.) an advantage (over smb.) - to have the advantage of - to take advantage of smth. - to take advantage of an opportunity to advantage , to be seen (heard, shown, exhibited) to advantage ,

Text four(p.109) The fun they had By I. Asimov A professor of biochemistry and science writer, I. Asimov is well-known as science fiction , . writer as well. In 1957 he won the Edison Foundation award for building Blocks of the Universe, and in 1960 the Howard W. Blakeslee award for The Living River in which he analysed the chemical composition of the blood and related it to other manifestations in our universe. He is also the author of The Intelligent Mans Guide to Sciences, an encyclopedic work covering in brief essay all of science for the layman . Besides all this, Lucky Stars and The Pirates of the Asteroids (1953), The Kingdom of the Sun (1960), The End of eternity (1962) are only a few science fiction books that came from under his pen. Margie even wrote about it that night in her diary. On the page headed May 17, 2157,she wrote, Today Tommy found a real book! It was a very old book. Margies grandfather once said that when he was a little boy his grandfather told him that there was a time when all stories were printed on paper. They turned the pages, which were yellow and crinkly , and it was awfully funny to read words that stood still instead of moving the way they were supposed to on a screen, you know. And then, when they turned back to the page before, it has been the same words on it that it had been when they read it the first time. Gee, said Tommy, what a waste . When youre through , with the book, you just throw it away, I gess.

Our television screen must have had a million books on and its good for plenty more. I wouldnt throw it away. Same with mine, said Margie. She was eleven and hadnt seen as many telebooks as Tommy had. He was thirteen. She said, Where did you find it? In my house. He pointed without looking, because he was busy reading. In the attic , . Whats about? School. Margie was scornful , . School? Whats there to write about school? I hate school. Margie always hated school, but now she hated it more than ever. The mechanical teacher had been giving her test after test in geography and she had been doing worse and worse until her mother had shaken her head sorrowfully and sent for the County Inspector. He was a round little man with a red face and a whole box of tools, with dials and wires .He smiled at Margie and gave her an apple, then took the teacher apart. Margie had hoped he wouldnt know how to put it together again, but he knew all right, and, after an hour or so, there it was again, large and black and ugly, with a big screen on wich all the lessons were shown and the questions were asked. That wasnt so bad. The part Margie hated most was the slot where she had to put homework and test papers. She always had to write them out in a punch code they made her calculated the mark in no time . The inspector has smiled after he was finished and patted Margies head. He said to her mather, Its not the little girls fault, Mrs. Jones, I think the geography sector was geared , a little too quick. Those things happen sometimes. Ive slowed it up to an average ten year level. Actually, the overall pattern of her progress is quite satisfactory. And he patted Margies head again.

Margie was disappointed , She had been hoping they would take away for nearly a month because the history sector had blanked out , , completely. So she said to Tommy. Why would anyone write about school? Tommy looked at her with very superior eyes. Because its not our kind of cshool, stupid. This is the old kind of school that they had hundreds and hundreds years ago. He added loftily , pronouncing the word carefully , Centuries ago. Margie was hurt . Well, I dont know what kind of school they had all that time ago. She read the book over his shoulder for a while, then said, Anyway, they had a teacher. Sure, they had a teacher, but it wasnt a regular teacher. It was a man. A man? How could a man be a teacher? Well, he just told the boys and girls things and gave them homework and asked them questions. A man isnt smart enough. Sure he is. My father knows as much as my teacher. He cant. A man cant know as much as a teacher. He knows almost as much, I betcha . Margie wasnt prepared to dispute that.. She said. I wouldnt want a strange man in my house to teach me. Tommy screamed with laughter, You dont know much, Margie. The teachers didnt live in the house. They had a special building and all the kids went there. And all the kids learned the same things. Sure, if they were the same age. But my mother says a teacher has to be adjusted to fit the mind of each boy and girl it teaches and that each kid has to be tought differently.

Just the same they didnt do it that way then. If you dont like it, you dont have to read the book. I didnt say I didnt like it, Margie said quickly. She wanted to read about those funny schools. They werent even half-finished, when Margies mother called, Margie! School! Marglie looked up. Not yet, Mamma. Now! said Mrs. Jones. And its probably time for Tommy, too. Margie said to Tommy, Can I read the book some more with you after school? Maybe, he said nonchalantly , . He walked away, whistling, the dusty old book tucked beneath his arm. Margie went into the schoolroom. It was right next to her bedroom and the mechanical teacher was on and waiting for her. It was always on at the same time every day, except Saturday and Sunday, because her mother said little girls learned better if they learned at regular hours. The screen lit up , and it said: Todays arithmetic lesson is on the addition of proper fractions . Please insert yesterdays homewework in the proper slot. Margie did so with a sigh. She was thinking about the old schools they had when her grandfathers neighbourhood came laughing and shouting in the schoolyard, sitting together in schoolroom, going home together at the end of the day. They learned the same things, so they could help one another on the homework and talk about it. And the teachers were people The mechanical teacher was flashing on the screen: When we add the fractions and - Marglie was thinking about how the kids must have loved it in the old days. She was thinking about the fun they had. Vocabulary notes.

Text five(p.140) Art for hearts sake By R. Goldberg

Reuben Lucius Goldberg (1883-1970), an American sculptor, cartoonist and writer was born in San Francisco. After graduating from the University of California in 1904 he worked as a cartoonist for a number of newspapers and magazines. He produced several series of cartoons all of which were highly popular. Among his best works are Ia there a Doctoer in the House? (1929), Rube Goldbergs Guide to Europe (1954) and I Made My Bed (1960). Here, take your pineapple juce, gently persuated Koppel, the male nurse , . Nope Ellsworth.
! grunted , , Collis P.

But its good for you, sir. Nope! Its doctors orders. Nope! Koppel heard the front door bell and was glad to live the room. He found Doctor Caswell in the hall downstairs. I cant do a thing with him, he told the doctor. He wont take his pineapple juice. He doesnt want me to read to him. He hates the radio. He doesnt like anything!

Doctor Caswell received the information with his usual professional calm. He had done some constructive thinking since his last visit. This was no ordinary case. The old gentleman was in pretty good shape for a man of seventy-six. But he had to be kept from buying things. He had suffered his last heart attack after his disastrous , purchase of that jerkwater , railroad out in Iowa !. All his purchases of recent years had to be liquidated at a great sacrifice both to his health and his pocketbook . The doctor drew up a chair and sat down close to the old man. Ive got a proposition for you, he said quietly. Old Ellsworth looked suspiciously over his spectacles. Howd you like to take up art? The doctor had his stethoscope ready in case the abruptness of the suggestion proved too much for the patients heart. But the old gentlemans answer was a vigorous , Rot!

I dont mean seriously, said the doctor, relieved that disaster had been averted. Just fool around with chalk and crayons Bosh! All right. The doctor stood up. I just suggested it, thats all. But, Caswell, how do I start playing with the chalk that is, if Im foolish enough to start? Ive thought of that, too. I can get a student from one of the art schools to come here once a week and show you. Doctor Caswell went to his friend, Judson Livingston, head of the Atlantic Art Institute, and explained the situation. Livingston had just the young man Franc Swain, eighteen years old and a promising student. He needed the money. Ran an elevator at night to play tuition . How much he get? Five dollars a visit. Fine.
, . Itll be fun.

Next afternoon young Swain was shown into the big living room. Collis P. Ellsworth looked at him appraisingly . Sir, Im not an artist yet, Answered the young man. Umph? Swain arranged some paper and crayons on the table. Lets try and draw that vase over there on the mantelpiece , he suggested. Try it, Mister Ellsworth, please. Umph! The old man took a piece of crayon in a shaky hand and made a scrawl . He made another scrawl and connected the two with a couple of crude lines. There it is, young man, he snapped , with a grunt , of satisfaction. Such foolishness. Poppycock! Frank Swain was patient. He needed the five dollars. If you want to draw you will have to look at what youre drawing, sir.Old Ellsworth squinted , and looked. By gum , its kinda (=kind a) pretty , I never noticed it before. When the art student came the following week there was a drawing on the table that had a slight resemblance to the vase. The wrinkles deepened at the corners of the old gentlemens eyes as he asked elfishly , Well, what do you think of it? Not bad, sir, answered Swain. But its a bit lopsided . By gum , Old Ellsworth chuckled .I see. The halves dont math. He added a few lines with a palsied hand and colored the open spaces blue like a child playing with a picture book. Then he looked towards the door. Listen, young man, he whispered, I want to ask you something before old pineapple juice comes back. Yes, sir, responded Swain respectively . I was thinking could you spare the time to come twice a week or perhaps three times?

Sure, Mister Ellsworth. Good. Lets make it Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Four oclock. As the weeks went by Swains visits grew more frequent. He brought the old man a box of water-colors and some tubes of oils. When Doctor Caswell called Ellsworth would talk about the graceful lines of the andirons . He would dwell , on the rich variety of color in a bowl of fruit. He proudly displayed the variegated , , smears of paint on his heavy silk dressing gown. He would not allow his valet to send it to the cleaners. He wanted to show the doctor how hard hed been working. The treatment was working perfectly. No more trips downtown to become involved in purchases of enterprises
, of doubtful solvency /.

The doctor thought it safe to allow Ellsworth to visit the Metropolitan, the Museum of Modern Art and other exhibits with Swain. An entirely , new world opened up its charming mysteries. The old man displayed an insatiable , curiosity about the galleries and the painters who exhibited in them. How were the galleries run ? Who selected the canvases for the exhibitions? An idea was forming in his brain. When the late spring sun began to cloak the fields and gardens with color, Ellsworth executed , a god-awful smudge
wich he called Trees Dressed in White. Then he made a starting

announcement. He was going to exhibit in the Summer show at the Lathrop Gallery! For the Summer show at the Lathrop Gallery was the biggest art exhihibit of the year in quality, if not in size. The lifetime dream of every mature artist in the United States was a Lathrop prize. Upon this distinguished , , group Ellsworth was going to foist

, his Trees Dressed in White, which resembled a gob of salad , dressing thrown violently up against the side of a house !

If the papers get hold of this , Mister Ellsworth will become a laughing-stock . Weve got to stop him, groaned Koppel. No, admonished , the doctor. We cant interfere with him now and take a chance of spoiling all the good work that weve accomplished . To the utter astonishment of all three and especially Swain Trees Dressed in White was accepted for the Lathrop show. Fortunately, the painting hung in an inconspicuous place where it could not excite , any noticeable comment. Young Swain sneaked into the Gallery one afternoon and blushed to the top of his ears when he saw Trees Dressed in White, a loud, raucous
splash , on the

wall. As two giggling students stopped before the strange anomaly Swain fled , in terror. He could not bear to hear what they had to say. During the course of the exhibition on the old man kept on taking his lessons, seldom mentioning his entry in the exhibit. He was unusually cheerful. Two days before the close of the exhibition a special messenger , brought a long official-looking envelope to Mister Ellsworth while Swain, Koppel and the doctor were in the room. Read it to me, requested the old man. My eyes are tired from painting. It gives the Lathrop Gallery pleasure to announce that the First landscape Prize of $ 1,000 has been awarded to Collis P. Ellsworth for his painting, Trees Dressed in White. Swain and Koppel uttered a series of inarticulate
gurgles

. Doctor Caswell,

exercising his professional self control with a supreme effort, said: Congratulations, Mister Ellsworth. Fine, fine See, see Of course, I didnt expect such great news. But, but well, now, youll have to admit that art is much more satisfying than business. Arts nothing, snapped the old man. I bought the Lathrop Gallery last month.

Show George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950), a prominent

playwright , was born of an impoverished middle-class family in Dublin where he attend a college. In 1876 he started working as a journalist in London. He became a socialist in 1882 and in 1884 joined the Fabian Society, an organization of petty
bourgeois intellectuals . In 1879 G.B. Shaw took up writing plays, in which

he criticized the vices of bourgeous

society.

Bernard Shaw is famous for his brilliant dialogues, full of witty

paradoxes

and often bitterly

satirical.

In his play The Man of Destiny (1895) he depicts Napoleon as a practical business-like , man who makes his career at the cost of human lives. Bernard Shaw was a friend of the Soviet Union which he visited in 1931. A little inn , , in North Italy. Napoleon has just put under arrest the lieutenant who arrived without the letters and dispatches , he had been sent for, saying that an unknown youth had tricked him out of them. The Ladys voice (outside, as before): Giuseppe! Lieutenant (petrified): What was that? Giuseppe: Only a lady upstairs, lieutenant, calling me. The Strange Lady steps in. She is tall and extraordinarly graceful with a delicately
intelligent face: character

in the chin : all keen , refined

, and original . Shes very feminine

, but

by no means weak. Lieutenant: So Ive got you, my lad . So youve disguised , yourself, have you? (In a voice of thunder, seizing
her wrist.) Take off that skirt.

Lady (affrighted , but highly indignant at his having daring to touch her): Gentleman: I appeal to you (To Napoleon.) You, sir, are an officer: A general. You will protect will you not? me,

Lieutenant: Never you mind him, General. Leave me to deal with him. Napoleon: With him! With whom, sir? Why do you treat this lady in such a fashion ?

Lieutenant: Lady! Hes a man! The man I shewed , my confidence in. (Raising his sword .) Here, youLady (running behind Napoleon and in her agitation clasping to her breast the arm which he extends

, before her as a fortification ): Oh, thank you, General. Keep him away .

Napoleon: nonsense, sir. This is certainly a lady and you are under arrest. Put down your sword, sir, instantly . I order you to leave the room. Giuseppe (discreetly , ): Come, lieutenant. (He opens the door and follows the lieutenant.) Lady: How can I thank you, General, for your protection? Napoleon (turning on her suddenly): my despatches , : come! (He puts out his hand for them.) Lady: General! (She unvoluntarily puts her hands on her fichu something there.)

Napoleon: You tricked that blockhead You disguised despatches. They are there in the bosom your hands.

Lady (quickly removing her hands): Oh, how unkindly you are speaking to me! (She takes her handkerchief from her fichu.) You frighten (She touches her eyes as if to wipe
away a tear.) me.

Napoleon: I see you dont know me, madam, or you would save yourself the trouble of pretending to cry. Lady (producing an effect of smiling through her tears): Yes, I do know you. You are the famous General Buonaparte .

Napoleon (angrily): The papers, if you please. Lady: But I assure you (She snatches rudely .) General! (indignantly
the hankerchief .)

Napoleon (taking the other hankerchief from his breast ): You lent one of your hankerchiefs to my lieutenant when you robbed him. (He looks at the two hankerchiefs.) they match one another. (he smiled them.) The same scent . (He flings them down on the table.) I am waiting for my despatches. I shall take them, if necessary, with as little ceremony Lady (in dignified
reproof women?

as I took the handkerchief.

): General: Do you threaten

Napoleon (bluntly ): Yes. (Holding out his hand.) Yes: I am waiting for them. Lady: General: I only want to keep one little private letter. Only one. Let me have it. Napoleon (cold and stern
): Is that a reasonable , madam?

, demand

Lady (relaxed by his not refusing point blank ,

): No, but that is why you must grant , it.

Are your own demands reasonable? Thounands of lives for the sake of your victories, your ambitions , your destiny! And what I ask is such a little thing. And I am only a weak woman, and you a brave man. What is the secret of your power? Only that you believe in yourself. You can fight and conquer for yourself and for nobody else. You are not afraid of your own destiny. You teach us what we all might be if we had the will , and courage: and that (suddenly sinking on knees before him) is why we all begin to worship you. (She kisses his hands.)

Napoleon (embarrassed ): Tut ! Tut! Pray rise, madam! Lady: My Emperor !

Napoleon (overcome , , raising her): Pray! pray! No, no: this is folly . Come : be calm, be calm.) There -! There! my girl. Lady (struggling
with happy tears): Yes, I know it is an

impertinence in me to tell you what you must know far better than I do. But you are not angry with me, are you? Napoleon: Angry! No, no: not a bit. Come : you are a very clever and sensible and interesting woman. ( He pats her on the cheek.) Shall we be friends? Lady (enraptured): Your friend! You will let me be your friend! Oh! ( She offers
him both her hands with a radiant smile.)

You see: O shew

my confidence in you.

This incautious , echo the lieutenant undoes , , her. Napoleon starts ; his eyes flash; he utters a yell of rage , .

of

Napoleon: Shew your confidence in me! So that I may shew my confidence in you in return by letting you give me the slip , with the despatches, eh? Dalila and I have been as gross lieutenant. (Menacingly , Dalila, you have been trying your tricks on me;
, , a gull , , of a , .) Come : the with now. , ): General

, as my jackass

Lady (at bay , confronting him and giving way , , to her temper , ): You dare address me in that tone Napoleon: Dare! Lady: Yes, dare. Who are you that you should presume
to speak to me in that coarse , , vulgar , way? Oh, the vile

Napoleon (beside himdelf ): You she-devil! (Savagely .) Once more, and only once, will you give me those papers or shall I tear them from you? by force! Lady: Tear them from me: by force! The Lady without speaking, stands upright , , and takes a packet of papers from her bosom . She hands them politely to Napoleon. The moment he takes them, she hurries across to the other side of the room; sits down and covers her face with her hands.

Napoleon (gloating over the papers): Aha! Thats right. (Before he opens them, he looks at her and says.) Excuse me. (He sees that she is hiding her face.) very angry with me, eh? (He unties the packet, the seal , of which is already broken, and puts it on the table to examine its contents.) Lady (quietly, taking down her hands and shewing that she is not crying, but only thinking): No. You were right. But I am sorry for you. Napoleon (pausing in the act of taking the uppermost paper from the packet): Sorry for me! Why? Lady: Im going to see you lose your honor.

Napoleon: Hm! Nothing worse than that? (He takes up the paper.) Lady: And your happiness. Napoleon: Happiness! Happiness is the most tedious , thing in the world to me. Should I be what I am if I cared for happiness. Anithing else? Lady: Nothing. Napoleon: Good. Lady: Except that you will cut a very foolish figure the eyes of France. Napoleon (quickly): What? (He throws the lettere down and breaks out
into a torrent of scolding .) What do you

mean? Eh? Are you at your tricks again? Do you think I dont know what these papers contain? Ill tell you. First, my information as to Beaulieus retreat . You are one of this spies: He has discovered that he had been betrayed
, and has sent you to intercept the information. As if that could save him from me, the old fool ! The other papers are only my private letters from Paris, of which you

know nothing. Lady (prompt and business-like): General: let us make a fair division. Take the information your spies have sent you about the Austrian army; and give me the Paris corrispondence
me.

. That will content

Napoleon (his breath taken away by the coolness , of her proposal ): A fair di- (he gasps). It seems to me, madam, that you have come to regard
my letters as your own property, of which I am trying

to rob you. Lady (earnestly ): No: on my honor I ask for no letter of yours: not a word that has been written by you or to you. That packet contains a

stolen

letter: a letter written by a woman to a man: a man not her

, , infamy

husband; a letter that means disgrace Napoleon: A love letter?

Lady (bitter-sweetly): What else but a love letter could stir so much hate?

up

Napoleon: Why is it sent to me? To put the husband in my power? Lady: No, no: it can be of no use to you: I swear
, , malice that is wiil

cost you nothing to give it to me. It has been sent to you out of sheer
, : solely

to injure

, the woman who wrote it.

Napoleon: Then why not send it to her husband instead of to me? Lady (completely taken aback , ): Oh! (Sinking back into the chair.) I- I dont know. (She breaks down , .) Napoleon: Aha! I thought so: a little romance to get the paper back. Per Bacco, I cant help admiring you. I wish I could lie like that. It would save me a great deal of trouble. Lady (wringing her hands): Oh how I wish I really had told you some lie! You would have believed me then. The truth is the one thing nobody will believe. Napoleon (with coarse familiarity ): Capital ! Capital! Come : I am a true Corsican in my love for stories. But I could tell them better than you if I set my mind to it. Next time you are asked why a letter compromising a wife should not be sent to her husband, answer simply that the husband wouldnt read it. Do you suppose, you goose , that a man wants to be compelled
, , by public opinion to make a

scene, to fight a duel

, to break up his household

 , to injure his career

by a scandal

, , when he can avoid it all by taking

care not to know? Lady (revolted , ): Suppose that packet contained a letter about your own wife? Napoleon (offended , madam. Lady (humbly ): You are impertinent
,

, ): I beg your pardon. Caesars

wife is above suspicion Napoleon: You have commited

.
, an indiscretion

, , , . I pardon you. In future, do not permit yourself to introduce , real persons in your romances

Lady; General: there really is a womans letter there. (Pointing to the packet.) Give it to me. Napoleon: Why? Lady: She is an old friend: we were at school together. She has written to me imploring me to prevent , the letter falling into your hands. Napoleon: Why has it been sent to me? Lady: Because it compromises the director Barras! Napoleon (frowning, evidently , startled
): Barras! (Haughtily .) Take care, madam. The director Barras is my attached personal friend.

Lady (nodding placidly , , ): Yes. You became friends through your wife.

Napoleon: Again! Have I not forbidden you to speak of my wife? Barras! Barras? (Very threateningly , his face darkening.) Take care . Take care: do you hear? You may go too far. Lady (innocently turning her face to him): Whats the matter?

Napoleon: What are you hinting at ? Who is this woman? Lady (meeting his angry searching , gaze
with tranquil , silly, extravagant

indifference
, ,

as

she sits looking up at him): A vain creature

, with a very able , and ambitious

husband who knows her through and through : knows that she had lied to him about her age, her income , her

social position, about everything that silly woman lie about: knows that she is incapable of fidelity to any principle , or any person; and yet cannot help loving her cannot help his mans instinct to make use of , her for his own advancement Napoleon (in a stealthy
with Barras. coldly furious , , you

whisper): This is your revenge

she-cat, for having had to give me the letters. Lady: Nonsense! Or do you mean that you are that sort of man? Napoleon (exasperated , clasps his hands behind him, his fingers twitching , and says, as he walks irritably away from her to the fireplace): This woman will drive , me out of my senses. (To her.) Begone . Lady (springing up with bright flush in her cheeks): Oh, you are too bad. Keep your letters. Read the story of your own dishonour in them; and

much good may they do you. Goodbye. (She goes indignantly towards the inner door.)

In these long days of ordeals and misfortune he displayed courage and strength of mind which made forget many of his previous crimes.

From hundred and fifty one hundred and eighty miles years voices of the past epoch come to us more subduedly. But a historian, refreshing the picture of the very far-off times and its heroes, is already free from any partiality and prejudicialness of the past epoch; the historical events and historical characters, proved by the strong measures of time, find their actual size, history assigns everyone his place. Napoleon Buonaparte from this long distance appears in all his inconsistency. He is apprehended first of all as a son of his time - a critical epoch, the epoch of transformation from the old feudal world to the new bourgeois society coming in the stead of. His name associates with dimensionless ambition, despotic rule, cruel bloody battles, sateless thirst of conquests. For sure, it would be right to say that Napoleon Buonaparte was one of the most remakable representative of bourgeoisie then it was still young bold ascending classe , that he personified the most completely all its virtues and its proper even at the early stage shortcomings. As long as there was more elements of progressive in Napoleons action, good fortune, wins accompanied him.And when Napoleonic Wars turned into pure aggressive, imperialistic wars which brought enslavement and oppression to European nations, then neither none of Napoleons personal gifts nor enormous efforts he made already couldnt bring him the victory. He was coming with immenence to the ruin of his empire and to his own failure. His ups and downs were consequent enaugh. Napoleon Buonaparte was a son of his epoch an impressed in his character features of his age. All following figures of bourgeoisie who was pretending to the Napoleons role, reflecting historical evolution of the class representatives of which they were, became petty, degenerated into a bad mock or caricature of image they tried to imitate. However it is impossible to strike out of the annals the Napoleon Buonapartes name. In nineteen sixty-eight his two hundreth anniversary was celebrated: hundreds of books and articles, congresses, conferences and television programmes and discutions again.The public interest for man, general, statesman of remote times is still great. What is the matter of issue? Some disparage and curse Buonaparte, others praise, the thirds try to find an explanation of inconsistency of his track, so much different from the others. However, how much wouldnt differ the opinions, everyone coincides that that was a man of an unique, striking destiny, which was stamped on the memory of generations.

By Somerset Maugham William Somerset Maugham (1874-1966), a well-known English novelist -, short-story writer, playwright and essayist , was the son of a British diplomat. He was educated at Kings School in Canterbury , studied painting in Paris, went to Heidelberg University in Germany and studied to be a doctor at St. Thomas Hospital in England. Although Somerset Maugham did not denounce , the contemporary social order, he was critical of the morals, the narrow-mindedness and him hypocrisy , of bourgeois society. It was his autobiographical novel Of Human Bondage (1951) and the novel The Moon and Sixpence (1919) based on the life of the French artist Paul Gauguin , that won fame. Somerset Maugham was also a master of the shirt story. Somerset Maughams style of writing is clear and precise. He does not impose his views on the reader. He puts a question and leaves it to the

reader to answer it. When criticizing something he sounds rather amused than otherwise . Its a dangerous thing to order the lives of others and I have often wondered at the self-confidence of the politicians, reformers and suchlike who are prepared to force upon their fellows measures that must alter , their manners, habits, and points of view. I have always hesitated to give advice, for how can one advise another how to act unless one knows that other that other as well as one knows himself? Heaven knows, I know little enough of myself: I know nothing of others. We can only guess at the thoughts and emotions of our neighbours. Each one of us is a prisoner in a solitary tower and he communicates with the other prisoners, who form mankind, by conventional , signs that have not quite , the same meaning for them as for himself. And life, unfortunately, is something that you can lead but once; mistakes are often irreparable and who am I that I should tell this one and that how he should lead it? Life is difficult business and I have found it hard enough to make my own a complete and rounded thing; I have not been tempted to teach my neighbor what he should do with his. But there are men who flounder , , at the journeys start, the way before them, is confused and hazardous , , and on occasion, however unwillingly , I have been forced to point the finger of fate. Sometimes men have said to me, what shall I do with my life? And I have seen myself for a moment wrapped , in the dark cloak , , of Destiny. Once I know that I advised well. I was a young man, and I lived in a modest apartment in London near Victoria Station. Late one afternoon, when I was beginning to think that I had worked enough for that day, I heard a ring at the bell. I opened the door to a total stranger. He asked me my name; I told him. He asked if he might come in. Certainly. I led him into my sitting-room and begged him to sit down. He seemed a trifle embarrassed. I offered him a cigarette and he had some difficulty in lighting it without letting go off , his hat. When he had satisfactorily achieved this feat I asked him if I should not put it on a chair for him. He quickly did this and while doing it dropped his umbrella. I hope you dont mind my coming to see you like this, he said. My name is Stephens and I am a doctor. Youre in the medical, I believe?

Yes, but I dont practice. No, I know. Ive just read a book of yours about Spain and I wanted to ask you about it. Its not a very good book, Im afraid. The fact remains that you know something about Spain and theres no one else I know who does. And I thought perhaps you wouldnt mind giving me some information. I shall be very glad. He was silent for a moment. He reached out for his hat and holding it one hand absent-mindedly stroked it with the other. I surmised that it gave him confidence . I hope you wont think it very odd for a perfect stranger to talk to you like this. He gave an apologetic laugh. Im not going to tell you the story of my life. When people say this to me I always know that is precisely what they are going to do. I do not mind. In fact I rather like it. I was brought up by two old aunts. Ive never been anywhere. Ive never done anything. Ive been married for six years. I have no children. Im a medical officer at the Camberwell Infirmary . I cant stick it anymore. There was something very striking in the short, sharp sentences he used. They had a forcible , ring . I had not given him more than a cursory glance, but now I looked at with curiosity . He was a little man, thickset and stout , of thirty perhaps, with a round red face from which shone small, dark and very bright eyes. His black hair was cropped close to a bullet -shaped , head. He was dressed in a blue suit a good deal the worse for wear . It was baggy at the knees and the pockets bulged , untidily . You know what the duties are of medical officer in an infirmary . One day is pretty much like another. And thats all Ive got to look forward to , for the rest of my life. Do you think its worth it? Its a means of livelihood , I answered. Yes, I know. The moneys pretty good. I dont exactly know why youve come to me. Well, I wanted to know whether you thought there would be any chance for an English doctor in Spain?

Why Spain? I dont know. I just have fancy , for it. Its not like Carmen, you know. But theres sunshine there, and theres good wine, and theres colour, and theres air you can breathe. Let me say what I have to say straight out , . I heard by accident that there was no English doctor in Seville . Do you think I could earn a living there? Is it madness to give up a good safe job for an uncertainty? What does your wife think about it? Shes willing. Its a great risk. I know. But if you say take it, I will; if you say stay where you are, Ill stay. He was looking at me intently with those bright dark eyes of his and I knew that he meant what he said. I reflected for a moment. Your whole future is concerned : you must decide for yourself. But this I can tell you: if you dont want money but are content to earn just to keep body and soul together , then go. For you will lead a wonderful life. He left me, I thought about him for a day or two, and then forgot. The episode passed completely from my memory. Many years later, fifteen at least, I happened to be in Seville and having some trifling , indisposition asked the hotel porter whether there was an English doctor in the town. He said there was and gave me the address. I took a cab and as I drove up to the house a little fat man came out of it. He hesitated when he caught sight , of me. Have you come to see me? he said. Im the English doctor. I explained my errand , and he asked me to come in. He lived in an ordinary Spanish house, with a patio
, and his consulting room which led out , of it littered with

papers, books, medical appliances, and lumber . The sight of it would have startled

business and then I asked the doctor what his fee was. He shook his head and smiled. Theres no fee. Why on earth not?

a squeamish , , patient. We did our

Dont you remember me? Why, Im here because of something you said to me. You changed my whole life for me. Im Stephens. I had not the least notion , what he was talking about. He reminded me of our interview , , he repeated to me what we had said, and gradually , out of , the night, a dim , , recollection , of the incident came back to me. I was wondering if Id ever see you again, he said, I wondering if ever Id have a chance of thanking you for all youve done for me. Its been a success then? I looked at him. He was very fat now and bald , , but his eyes twinkled , gaily and his fleshy , , red face bore , an expression of perfect good-humour. The clothes he wore, terribly shabby , , they were, had been made obviously by a Spanish tailor and his hat was the wide-brimmed sombrero if the Spaniard. He looked to me as though he knew a good bottle of wine when he saw it. He had a dissipated though entirely , sympathetic , appearance. You might have hesitated to let him remove your appendix , but you could not have imagined a more delightful , creature to drink a glass of wine with. Surely you were married? I asked. Yes. My wife didnt like Spain, she went back to Camberwell , she was more at home there. Oh, Im sorry for that. His black eyes flashed a bacchanalian smile. He really had somewhat the look of a young Silenus . Life is full of compensations, he murmured. The words were hardly out of his mouth when a Spanish woman, no longer in her fist youth , but still boldly , and voluptuously beautiful, appeared at the door. She spoke to him in Spanish, and I could not fail to perceive that she was the mistress of the house. As he stood at the door to let me out he said to me:

You told me when last I saw you that if I came here I should earn just enough money to keep body and soul together, but that I should lead a wonderful life. Well, I want to tell you that you were right. Poor I have been and poor I shall always be, but by heaven - Ive enjoyed myself . I wouldnt exchange the life Ive had with that of any king in the world.

(Extract) John Galsworthy (1867-1933), a prominent English novelist, playwright and short-story writer, came from an upper middle-class family. He was educated at Harrow and Oxford and was called to the Bar. His first novel (From the Four Winds) was published in 1897, but it was The Man of Property that won him fame. Among his numerous novels The Forsyte Saga and A Modern Comedy are the most prominent . They give a truthful picture of English bourgeois society at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries. The Apple-Tree (1917) is one of the most popular long short stories written by John Galsworthy . On the first of May, after their last year together at college, Frank Ashurst and his friend Robert Garton were on a tramp. They had walked that day from Brent, intending to make Chagford but Ashrusts football knee had given out ( ), and according to their map they had still some seven miles to go. They were sitting on a bank beside where a track crossed the road, , alongside a wood, resting knee and talking of the universe , as young men will . Both were over six feet, and thin as rails , Ashurst pale, idealistic, full of absence ; Garton queer , , round-thecorner , knotted , curly , like some primeval beast. Both had a literary bent ; neither wore a hat. Ashursts hair was smooth, pale, wavy and had a way of rising on either side of his brow , as if always being flung back ; Gartons was a kind of dark unfathomed mop . They had not met a soul for miles.

By John Galsworthy

My dear fellow, Garton was saying, pitys only an effect of self-consciousness ; its a disease of the last five thousand years. The world was happier without. Ashrust did not answer; he had plucked a blue floweret , and was twiddling it against the sky. A cuckoo began calling from a thorn tree. The sky, the flowers, the songs of birds! Robert was talking through his hat. And he said: Well, lets go on, and find some farm where we can put up. In uttering those words he was conscious of a girl coming down from the common just above them. She was outlined against the sky, carrying a basket, and you could see that sky through the crook of her arm. And Ashrust, who saw beauty without wondering how it could advantage him, thought: How pretty! The wind, blowing her dark frieze () skirt against her legs, lifted her battered peacock tam-o-shanter ; her grayish blouse was worn and old, her shoes were split , her little hands rough and red, her neck browned. Her dark hair waved untidy across her broad forehead , her face was short, her upper lip short, showing a glint , of teeth, her brows were straight and dark, her lashes long and dark, her nose straight ; but her grey eyes were the wonder-dewy as if opened for the first time that day. She looked at Ashurst- perhaps he struck her as strange, limping along without a hat, with his large eyes on her, and his hair flung back . He could not take off , what was not on his head, but put his hand in a salute, and said: Can you tell us if theres a farm near here where we could stay the night? Ive gone lame . Theres only one farm near, sir. She spoke without shyness, in a pretty, soft, crisp voice. And where is that? Down here, sir. Oh! I think we would. Will you show us the way? Yes, sir. He limped on, silent, and Garton took up the catechism .

Are you a Devonshire girl? No, sir. What then? From Wales . Ah, I thought you were a Celt , so its not your farm? My aunts, sir. And your uncles? He is dead. Who farms it, then? My aunt, and my three cousins. But your uncle was a Devonshire man? Yes, sir. Have you lived here long? Seven years. And how dyou like it after Wales ? I dont know, sir. I suppose you dont remember? Oh, yes! But it is different. I belive you! Ashurst broke in suddenly: How old are you? Seventeen, sir. And whats your name? Megan David. This is Robert Garton, and I am Frank Ashurst. We wanted to get on Chagford. Its a pity your leg is hurting you. Ashurst smiled, and when he smiled his face was rather beautiful. Descending past the narrow wood , they came on the farm suddenly- a long, low stone-built dwelling with casement windows. In a farmyard where pigs and fowls and an old mare were straying . A short steep-up grass hill behind was crowned with a few Scotch firs , and in front , an old orchard of apple trees, just breaking into flower, stretched down to a stream , and a long wild meadow . A little boy with oblique dark eyes was shepherding a pig, and by the house door stood a woman, who came towards them. The girl said:

It is Mrs. Narracombe, my aunt, Mrs. Narracombe, my aunt had a quick, dark eye, like a mother wild-ducks , and something of the same snaky turn about her neck. We met your niece on the road, said Ashurst, she thought you might perhaps put us up for the night. Mrs. Narracombe, taking them in from head to heel, answered: Well, I can, if you dont mind one room. Megan, get the spare room ready, and a bowl of cream. Youll be wanting tea, I suppose. Passing through a sort of porch made by two yew trees and some flowering-currant bushes, the girl disappeared into the house, her peacock tam-o-shanter bright athwart , that rosy-pink and the dark green of the years. Will you come into the parlour and rest your leg? Youll be from college, perhaps? We were, but weve gone down now. The parlour, brick-floored , , with bare table and shiny chairs and sofa stuffed with horsehair , seemed never to have been used, it was so terribly clean. Ashurst sat down at once on the sofa, holding his lame knee between his hands, and Mrs. Narracombe gazed at him Is there a stream where we could bathe? Theres the strame at the bottom of the orchard, but sittin down youll not be covered ! How deep? Well, its about a foot and a half maybe. Oh! Thatll do fine. Which way? Down the lane. Through the second gate, on the right, an the pools by the big apple tree that stands by itself . Theres trout there, if you can tickle them! Theyre more likely to tickle us! Mrs. Narracombe smiled. Therell be the tea ready when you come back. The pool formed by the damming of a rock , had a sandy bottom; and the big apple tree, lowest in the orchard, grew so close that its boughs almost overhung the water; it was in leaf and all but in flower- its crimson -, buds just bursting. There was no room for

more than one at a time in that narrow bath, and Ashurst waited his turn, rubbing his knee and gazing at the wild meadow , all rocks and thorn trees and field flowers, with a grove , of beeches beyond , raised up on a flat mound , . Every bough was swinging in the wind, every spring bird calling, and a slanting , sunlight dappled the grass. He thought of Theocritus, and the river Cherwell, of the moon, and the maiden with dewy eyes, of so many things that he seemed to think of nothing; and he felt absurdly happy.
