    A new house
    When Martha got to the Mansfield Mansion by taxi the next morning, she stood at the gate for a long moment. She was trying to absorb the fact that this was now her home.

    Jack
    Jack met three guys from school in London, and they had fun together before they all went back to real life again. Two of them were going to law schools, and one was getting married soon. As for Jack, he was turned down at the schools he 30 ______to, because he didn’t have a master’s yet. So he was going to 31 ______ courses at London University.

    The man on the trail
    It was a cold grey day when the man walked into the main Yukon trail. He climbed the snow-covered river bank where a trail went through the pine forest. It was a high bank, and the man paused to breathe at the top and 32 _______ at the sky. It was nine o’clock in the morning.

It was not because he was long 38 _______ with it. On the contrary, he was a newcomer in the land, and this was his first winter.

She bought a lot of different books to help Henry develop his skills.
    Just as his mother hoped, when Henry 34 ______ up, he decided to be a writer.

No 36 ______ how tired or busy he was, he wrote page after page, sitting in the woods, as he liked that activity better than anything else.

Henry’s mother Linda was always by his side supporting him, reading his books. Mrs. Thompson often kept 38 ______ Henry of his wonderful talent. She had no doubt that her son would succeed one day; it was only a question of time. And she was absolutely right.

So I sold all my furniture, gave notice on my flat, quit my job, and then bought a backpack and a ticket halfway around the world.

    My day
    Classes started today, on Thursday, but my first class with Professor Hunt wasn’t until the forthcoming Monday. After a light breakfast I went back to my room and began working. Not until almost four in the afternoon did I finally close my books. When I 32 ______ out of my window, it was as if I’d just woken up, sleepy and disoriented, to find it was getting dark.

    Donna
    Donna was happy. By the end of the week, she 30 ______ to finish and email the manuscript to her literary agent Polly Smith to hand in to the publisher. Polly informed her that her most recent book was currently climbing bestseller lists at a rapid rate. Donna had become a regular feature on it by then, but was never blasé about it.

Donna wrote under the pseudonym Alexander Green. Her publishers were still 32 ______ that the books were written by a young woman, and her identity was the best-kept secret in the business.

    Pat
    Pat checked her bags at the airport the next day. She carried her overstuffed hand luggage and boarded the plane to London, feeling like she was leaving home again but 30 ______ to see her old friends too.

    A hard task
    I barely made the 8:30 a.m. Saturday train to Huntington, a town on the north shore of Long Island. The railroad stopped service because of the snowfall the night before; sleepy commuters wearing smart suits crowded in the train. They seemed really tired and eager to get home and finally 32 ______ the rest of the weekend with their families.
    I had planned on using this one-hour train ride to get a good start on a short story I was 33 ______ to submit to a magazine on Monday morning. But standing there, sandwiched between a stroller and an exhausted businessman, I couldn’t even get my journal out of my backpack. It was absolutely impossible to compose my thoughts on its pages.

    I decided that by the end of 37 ______ adventure I have this weekend, I will write a short story about it. I told my friend Bennett about my decision when I was getting inside his car at the station. And the two of us set 38 ______ on our adventure.

    Lincoln
    Lincoln stood in the library of William’s house in Russell Square, staring at the Renoir painting of the two red-headed young women. It hung above the fireplace, and Lincoln understood why it took pride of place in this room. It was a masterpiece, and he could see that it 32 ______ William of Lily and Emily.
    Lincoln had told William he needed to speak to him privately, and they had 33 ______ to meet here. Lily was still in Brighton with the children. The house was empty and very quiet this afternoon. John came in and, clearing his throat, asked, “Would you like something, sir? Perhaps, a cup of tea?”
    “No, thank you, John,” Lincoln answered. Lincoln continued to study the marvelous Renoir. Suddenly William entered the room and apologized for 34 ______ him waiting.
    “What’s this all about, Lincoln? You 35 ______ rather serious, even sad,” William said. Lincoln was silent. He went and sat on a chair near the fireplace. William took the other chair, staring at him attentively.

    My second visit
    It was my second visit to Dr Boxer. He answered the door exactly as he had done the first time, by opening only a crack and looking through it warily, as if there were something that he was 32 ______ not everyone should see. He 33 ______ me of a gatekeeper in a fairy story: ageless and watchful. It was a feeling I would come to know well in the next months. Even now, years later and far away, sometimes in my dreams, I find myself standing before that white door, 34 ______ for him to open it. When he 35 ______ it was me, he opened the door slightly wider than he had done the first time. He let me in.
    It was a beautiful room, not an office at all, and much bigger than it looked from outside – airy and white, with a high ceiling and two windows. In the corner, near a low bookshelf, was a big round table with teapots and Greek books, and there were flowers everywhere. I was surprised and 36 ______ at the same time. Everywhere I looked, there was something beautiful – Oriental carpets, tiny paintings and white vases with flowers. He sat in an armchair by the window and said, “I 37 ______ you’ve come about the Greek class.”
    “Yes.”
    “It’s rather late in the term,” he said. “Young people often find Greek a bore, which is not to say that it isn’t good for them.”
    “I’d like to study it again. It seems a shame to 38 ______ it after two years”.
    After a moment Dr Boxer said slowly, “If you’d like, I’d be happy to take you as a pupil, Mr Brown.”

    A visit
    Early the next afternoon, Peter dropped by for a visit. “It’s hot in here,” he said, taking 32 ______ his wet coat and throwing it over the back of a chair. His hair was wet, his face flushed. “Don’t go outside, whatever you do,” he said. “It’s terrible outside. By the way, you haven’t 33 ______ Dave, have you?”
    I ran a hand through my hair. It was a Friday afternoon, no class and I hadn’t been out of my room all day. I worked hard translating a Greek poem.
    “Dave stopped by last night,” I said. Peter reached to the pocket of his overcoat and pulled out a pack. “I 34 ______ you a sandwich since you weren’t at lunch.” It was cream cheese and marmalade, I knew without looking. Peter was fanatical about them, but I didn’t like them much. I unwrapped a corner of it and took a bite, pretended to 35 ______it, then set it down on my desk. “Have you talked to Dave recently?” I said.
    “Just this morning. He drove me to the bank.” Peter reached into his pocket again and took out a sheet of paper covered with numbers. Mechanically, I took the sheet of paper from him. It was covered with algebraic formulas, but at the moment it was frankly the last thing on my 36 ______. I shook my head and was on the 37 ______ of handing it back when something stopped me. I wasn’t very good at mathematics but I knew I should 38 ______ in solving this problem.

    At the library
    It was early morning. Jason stood in the library at Norwood House, 30 ______ up at the painting above the fireplace. What an extraordinary portrait it was, of a handsome man in the prime of his life. The great Horace Winton. His grandfather. His mother, Horace’s eldest daughter, Laura, had always 31 ______ him that he would grow up to look like her father. She had been proved right.
    This painting had been finished just a short time before Horace’s fortieth birthday, and in a few days’ time, he himself would be forty years old. And he was the spitting 32 ______ of his grandfather; six foot four, broad of chest, with red-gold hair and blue eyes. He knew that if Horas Winton could step out of the portrait, come to stand next to him, they would look like twins, so close was their 33 ______.
    Jason Casey finally turned away and walked out onto the terrace, headed through the hanging gardens, making for the ruined stronghold. His mother had constantly taken him there as a child, explaining that it had been her father’s favourite spot at Norwood, and 34 ______ hers. She had 35 ______ him up on Winton lore, and most of it had been about his grandfather. Jason knew so much about his grandfather and 36 ______ never meeting him in person.

    Julie
    Two things happened to Julie in the summer before her senior year at Chicago College. Her literary agent Celesta sold her second and third books to the same publisher for twice the money for each book as Julie got for the first one. The reviews on her first book had been excellent, and the publisher was in a 30 ______ to publish Heroes, her second book, in time for Christmas that year. Celesta hadn’t 31 ______ them her recently finished fourth book. Julie and Hadson, her editor, still wanted to 32 ______ it. And Celesta wanted to see how the next one did. If it was as successful as she hoped, she was going to ask for a lot more money on the next contract.
    The second thing that happened that summer was that totally by 33 ______, through the creative writing professor, she got a summer job in Washington working for a major publisher for two months. The professor called her and asked if she’d be interested, and Julie wanted the 34 ______. It was a different publisher than her own, and she wanted to learn more about the business. She discussed it with Celesta that night, who encouraged her to do it, and she 35 ______ the next day. It was an internship so the pay was minimal, but she had the money from her book deal, and still more than enough of what her father had left her. It was going to be an exciting summer for her. Julie loved being in Washington and learning more about publishing, and writing a completely different kind of book than she wrote before, 36 ______her first two books had terrific reviews.
