The underlined word is (define the syntactic function of the word):

That was the great thing that had domestically happened. Mrs. Wix, besides, had turned another face: she had never been exactly gay, but her gravity was now an attitude as public as a posted placard.

The underlined word is (define the syntactic function of the word):

She was in the presence, she felt, of restless change: wasn't it restless enough that her mother and her stepfather should already be on different sides?

The underlined word is (define the syntactic function of the word): If it had become now, for that matter, a question of sides, there was at least a certain amount of evidence as to where they all were. Maisie of course, in such a delicate position, was on nobody's; but Sir Claude had

all the air of being on hers.

The underlined word is: "He has made from the first such a row about you," she said on one occasion to Maisie, "that I've told him to do for you himself and try how he likes it--see?

I've washed my hands of you; I've made you over to him; and if you're discontented it's on him, please, you'll come down.

The underlined word is: He appeared to accept the idea that he had taken her over and made her, as he said, his particular lark; he quite agreed also that he was an awful fraud and an

idle beast and a sorry dunce.

The underlined word is: He led one after all in the schoolroom, and there were hours of late

evening, when she had gone to bed, that Maisie knew he sat there talking with Mrs. Wix of how to meet his difficulties.

The underlined word is: He never came into the place without telling its occupants that they

were the nicest people in the house--a remark which always led them to say to each other "Mr. Perriam!" as loud as ever compressed lips and enlarged eyes could make them articulate.

The underlined word is: Her visits were as good as an outfit; her manner, as Mrs. Wix once said, as good as a pair of curtains; but she was a person addicted to extremes--sometimes barely

speaking to her child and sometimes pressing this tender shoot to a bosom cut, as Mrs. Wix had also observed, remarkably low.

The underlined word is: It threw him more and more at last into the schoolroom, where he

had plainly begun to recognise that if he was to have the credit of perverting the innocent child he might also at least have the amusement.

The underlined word is: She had phrases about him that were full of

easy understanding, yet full of morality.

The underlined word is: So don't haul poor ME up--I assure you I've worries enough." One of these, visibly, was that the spell rejoiced in by the schoolroom fire was already in danger

of breaking; another was that she was finally forced to make no secret of her husband's unfitness for real responsibilities.

was different from every one.

The underlined word is: The day came indeed when her breathless auditors learnt from her in bewilderment that what ailed him was that he was, alas, simply not serious. Maisie wept

being, I hasten to add, in this connexion, not the mistress of his fate, but only Mrs. Wix herself.

when the four happened to meet without company in the drawing-room and Maisie found herself clutched to her mother's breast and passionately sobbed and shrieked over, made the subject of a demonstration evidently sequent to some sharp passage just enacted.

The underlined word is: Unaccompanied, in subsequent hours, and with an effect of changing
