A) What could have proved it better than the fact that before a week was out, in spite of their distressing separation and her mother's prohibition and Miss Overmore's scruples and Miss Overmore's promise, the beautiful friend had turned up at her father's?

to do with lessons, questions that Beale Farange himself, when two or three were repeated to him, admitted to be awfully low--this strange apparition faded before the bright creature who had braved everything for Maisie's sake.

Define the syntactic function of the underlined word: Billiards was her great accomplishment

and the distinction her name always first produced the mention of. Notwithstanding some very long lines everything about her that might have been large and that in many women profited by the licence was, with a single exception, admired and cited for its smallness.

Define the syntactic function of the underlined word: She was a person who, when she was out–and she was always out--produced everywhere a sense of having been seen often, the sense indeed of a kind of abuse of visibility, so that it would have been, in the usual places rather vulgar to wonder at her.

did it very much: it was an inevitable way of betraying an alien habit.

Define the type of the sentence: On this basis it had been arranged that she should stay;

her courage had been rewarded; she left Maisie in no doubt as to the

Fill in the gap: Maisie knew Mrs.

Farange had gone abroad, for she had had weeks and weeks before a letter from her beginning "My precious pet" and taking leave ___ her for an indeterminate time; but she had not seen in it a renunciation of hatred or of the writer's policy of asserting herself, for the sharpest of all her impressions had been that there was nothing her mother would ever care so much about as to torment Mr. Farange.

Fill in the gap: Maisie meanwhile, as a subject of familiar gossip on what was to be done

with her, was left so much ___ herself that she had hours of wistful

thought of the large loose discipline of Mrs. Wix; yet she none the less

held it under her father's roof a point of superiority that none of his

visitors were ladies.

Fill in the gap: She had a new feeling, the feeling of danger; ___ which a new remedy

rose to meet it, the idea of an inner self or, in other words, of concealment.

Fill in the gap: She was now old enough to understand how disproportionate a stay she had

already made with her father; and also old ___ to enter a little into the ambiguity attending this excess, which oppressed her particularly whenever the question had been touched upon in talk with her governess.

and legs; old forms and phrases began to have a sense that frightened her.

The predicate(s) of the sentence is (are): It was a hug that fortunately left nothing to say, for the poor woman's want of words at such an hour seemed to fall in with her want of everything. Maisie's alternate parent, in the outermost vestibule--he liked the impertinence of

enable him to give himself up to her.

The predicate(s) of the sentence is (are): The child wondered if they didn't make it hurt

more than usual; but it was only after some time that she was able to attach to the picture of her father's sufferings, and more particularly to her nurse's manner about them, the meaning for which these things had waited.

The sentence is: Her first term was with her father, who spared her only in not letting

her have the wild letters addressed to her by her mother: he confined himself to holding them up at her and shaking them, while he showed his teeth, and then amusing her by the way he chucked them, across the room, bang into the fire.

The sentence is: She was in short introduced to life with a liberality in which the selfishness

of others found its account, and there was nothing to avert the sacrifice but the modesty of her youth.

The sentence is: She was taken

into the confidence of passions on which she fixed just the stare she might have had for images bounding across the wall in the slide of a magic-lantern.

The sentence is: The child was provided for, but the new arrangement was inevitably

confounding to a young intelligence intensely aware that something had happened which must matter a good deal and looking anxiously out for the effects of so great a cause.

The sentence refers to: Attached, however, to the second pronouncement was a condition that

detracted, for Beale Farange, from its sweetness--an order that he should refund to his late wife the twenty-six hundred pounds put down by her, as it was called, some three years before, in the interest of the child's maintenance and precisely on a proved understanding that he would take no proceedings: a sum of which he had had the administration and of which he could render not the least account.

The sentence refers to: He was unable to produce the money or to raise it in any way; so that after a squabble scarcely less public and scarcely more decent than the original shock of battle his only issue from his predicament was a compromise proposed by his legal advisers and

The underlined word is: It was a game

like another, and Mrs. Wix's visit was clearly the first move in it. Maisie found in this exchange of asperities a fresh incitement to the unformulated fatalism in which her sense of her own career had long since taken refuge; and it was the beginning for her of a deeper

The underlined word is: Mrs. Wix enquired with astonishment why it should do anything of the sort, and Miss Overmore gave as an instant reason that it was clearly but another dodge in a system of dodges.

about which she had originally made such a fuss?

The underlined word is: Mrs. Wix broke into a queer laugh; it sounded to Maisie an unsuccessful

Fill in the gap: Maisie greatly preferred gentlemen as inmates in spite ___ their also having their way--louder but sooner over–of laughing out at her.
