Rip Van Winkle1.They are regarded by all the good wives, far and near, as perfect barometers.(7)2.When the rest of the landscape is cloudless, they will gather a hood of gray vapors about theirsummits, which, in the last rays of the setting sun, will glow and light up like a crown of glory.(8) 3.It is a little village, of great antiquity, having been founded by some of the Dutch colonists, in theearly times of the province.(8)4.He was a descendant of the Van Winkles.(8)5.He was, moreover, a kind neighbor, and an obedient hen-pecked husband.(8)6. A termagant wife, may, therefore, in some respects, he considered a tolerable blessing; and if so,Rip Van Winkle was thrice blessed.7.Whenever they talked those matters over in their evening gossiping, to lay all the blame on DameVan Winkle.8.Not a dog would bark at him throughout the neighborhood. (9)9.The great error in Rip‘s composition was an insuperable aversion to all kinds of profitable labor. (9)10.His patrimonial estate had dwindled away under his management, acre by acre. (10)11.Rip Van Winkle, however, was one of those happy mortals, of foolish, well-oileddispositions, whotake the world easy, eat white bread or brown, whichever can be got with least thought or trouble, and would rather starve on a penny than work for a pound.(10)12.Rip‘s sole domestic adherent was his dog Wolf, who was as much hen-pecked as his master. (11)13.What courage can withstand the ever-during and all-besetting terrors of a woman‘s tongue? (11)14.It is true, he was rarely heard to speak, but smoked his pipe incessantly.(13)15.He would inhale the smoke slowly and tranquilly, and emit it in light and placid clouds.(13)16.His only alternative, to escape from the labor of the farm and the clamor of his wife, was to takegun in hand and stroll away into the woods. (13)17.Rip had unconsciously scrambled to one of the highest parts of the Kaatskill Mountain. (13)18.Panting and fatigued, he threw himself, late in the afternoon, on a green knoll, covered withmountain herbage, that crowned the brow of a precipice.19.Rip now felt a vague apprehension stealing over him. (14)20.Their visages, too, were peculiar. (15)21.At length his senses were overpowered, his eyes swam in his head, his head gradually declined,and he fell into a deep sleep. (16)22.The birds were hopping and twittering among the bushes, and the eagle was wheeling aloft, andbreasting the pure mountain breeze.(16)23.He grieved to give up his dog and gun; he dreaded to meet his wife. (17)24.The constant recurrence of this gesture induced Rip, involuntarily, to do the same. (17)25.He found the house gone to decay—the roof fallen in, the windows shattered, and the doors off thehinges. (18)26.It was empty, forlorn, and apparently abandoned. (19)27.Rip was equally at a loss to comprehend the question. (20)28.Rip looked, and beheld a precise counterpart of himself, as he went up the mountain. (21)29.In the midst of his bewilderment, the man in the cocked hat demanded who he was, and what washis name? (21)30.Rip had but one question more to ask; but he put it with a faltering voice. (22)31. He was a descendant of the historian of that name, who wrote one of the earliest accounts of theprovince. (22)32. He had got his neck out of the yoke of matrimony. (23)33. The old Dutch inhabitants, however, almost universally gave it full credit. (24)Genesis1.And God said, ―Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water.‖2.And God said, ―Let the water teem with living creatures, …‖3.God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, …4.This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created.5.Now the serpent was more craftythan any of the wild animals the LORD God had made.6.So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast.7.Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, …8.Everything on earth will perish. But I will make a covenant with you, and you will enter the ark…9.Then Noah built an altar to the LORD and, taking some of all the clean animals and clean birds, hesacrificed burnt offerings on it.10.These were the three sons of Noah, and from them came the people who were scattered over theearth.11.From these the maritime peoples spread out into their territories by their clans within their nations,each with its own language.12.Now Sarai was barren; she had no children.13.Now there was a famine in the land, and Abram went down to Egypt to live there…14.But the LORD inflicted serious diseases on Pharaoh…15.… Lot lived among the cities of the plain and pitched his tents near Sodom.16.During the night Abram divided his men to attack them and he routed them…a.Sovereign LORD, what can you give me since I remain childless…17.He slept with Hagar, and she conceived.18.Abram fell facedown, and God said to him.19.Every male among you shall be circumcised.20.Abraham and Sarah were already old and well advanced in years, … (Sarah) I am worn out andmy master is old, …21.The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous…22.Far be it from you to do such a thing –to kill the righteous with wicked…23.―This fellow (Lot) came here as an alien, and now he wants to play the judge! …‖24.So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry his daughter.25.… and he (God) brought Lot out of the catastrophe that overthrew the cities where Lot had lived.26.―You are as good as dead because of the woman you (Abimelech) have taken; she is a marriedwoman.‖27.―I (Abimelech) have done it w ith a clear conscience and clean hands.‖28.―Now return the man‘s wife; for he (Abraham) is a prophet, …‖29.―I (Abraham) said to myself, ‗There is surely no fear of God in this place (Gerar), …‘‖30.―This is to cover the offense against you before all who are wit h you; you (Sarah) are completelyvindicated.‖31.Now the LORD was gracious to Sarah as he had said, …32.―Sell me (Abraham) some property for a burial site here so I can bury my dead.‖33.―… listen to me and intercede with Ephron son of Zohar on my behalf…‖34.―…the land is worth four hundred shekels of silver, but what is that between me and you?...‖35.Abraham… weighted out for him the price he had named… according to the weight current amongthe merchants.36.―Do not detain me (the chief servant of Abraham), …‖37.Isaac, who had a taste for wild game, loved Esau, …38.So Esau despised his birthright.39.Then Laban said to him, ―You (Jacob) are my own flesh and blood.‖40.―I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed a pillar…‖41.Now Rachel had taken the household gods…42.―Get rid of the foreign gods you have with you, …‖The Fox1.They seemed to be losing ground, somehow, losing hope as the months went by.(6)2.She was spellbound—she knew he knew her.(7)3.She did not so much think of him: she was possessed by him.(8)4.She saw his dark, shrewd, unabashed eye looking into her, knowing her. (8)5.She examined her gun, and cleaned it, musing abstractedly by the lamplight. (8)6.And she proceeded to forget about it, except that she was more indignant than ever at theimpudence. (8)7.They dreaded the almost continuous darkness that enveloped them on their desolate little farm nearthe wood. (9)8.There heard a footstep—distinctly a footstep. Banford recoiled in fear. (10)9.Having his heavy sack on his shoulders, he stooped, thrusting his head forward.(10)10.Behind her, Banford, clinging to sofa-arm, was shrinking away, with half-averted head. (11)11. She racked her brain to think of something else to put on the tray. (12)12. He continued to answer with courteous simplicity, grave and charming. (14)13. At last the talked dwindled. The youth relaxed his clasp of his knees. (15)14. She awoke with the pain of it, and lay trembling as if she were really seared. (17)15. When he thought of her dark, startled, vulnerable eyes he smiled subtly to himself. (20)16.If he was not careful, she would turn around on him with her savage, sardonic ridicule, and dismisshim from the farm and from her own mind forever.(21)17.Your own fate overtakes and determines the fate of the deer your are hunting. (21)18.He was not quite sure how he would go on. And March was suspicious as a hare. (22)19.March felt rather than heard him. She was trying in vain to turn aside her face. (22)20.‗Oh, I can‘t,‘ she wailed helplessly, half-articulate, as if semiconscious, and as if in pain, like onewho dies. ‗How can I?‘(23)21.They went in to tea. March was quite mute. Her face was pale and strained and vague. (24)22.But March had again gone vague and unheeding, chewing her food as if she did not know she waseating at all. (25)23.‗Yes, I suppose so,‘ said March laconically. She would never confess to the fox. (28)24.―I‘m going to bed, Nellie, I‘m all nerves tonight. Are you coming?‖ (28)25.At that moment Banford‘s voice was heard calling fretfully, crossly from upstairs.(30)26. She looked up at him, and a deep pink color flushed over her face. (31)27. But again she flushed with an agonized flush. She, too, could swallow no more. (32)28. Her plaintive, fretful voice had a thread of hot anger and despair. (32)29.But Henry sat on, stiff with temper. He took no notice of her. She had regained her composure andher soft, even creamy complexion. (33)30. They sat each one at the sharp corner of a triangle, in obstinate remoteness. (33)31.If you marry him he‘ll just make a fool of you. He‘ll go off and leave you stranded. (34)32.The boy outside could hear the stifled sound of the woman‘s sobbing, and could hear March‘s soft,deep, tender voice comforting, with wonderful gentleness and tenderness, the weeping woman. (35) 33.And suddenly it seemed to him England was little and tight, he felt the landscape was constrictedeven in the dark. (36)34.‗Would you rather stay over here while I go first?‘ he asked.‗I would, if that‘s the only alternative,‘ she replied. (41)35.There was again the queer, sardonic look about her; she would mock stoically at everything he saidor which life offered. (42)36.‗I should think not, indeed,‘ cried Banford indignantly.37.At bed-time Banford said plaintively to March.(42)38.‗Why don‘t you let me help you with the parcels?‘ She had a queer, plaintive hitch in her voice.Then came March‘s robust and reckless.(43)39.‗Don‘t you worry yourself, nobody‘s going to treat me cheaply. And even you aren‘t, either.‘ Shehad a tender defiance and a certain fire in her voice.(44)40. A curious quietness and gravity came over his soul. He felt a man, quiet, with a little of theheaviness of male destiny upon him.(47)41.His voice had so much anger and contempt and fury in it as he spoke to Banford: and so muchtenderness and proud authority as he spoke to March. (49)42.And the signal paralysed her. It beat upon her very soul, and made her helpless.(50)43.Since he had realized that she was a woman, and vulnerable, accessible, a certain heaviness hadpossessed his soul. (51)44.‗Oh, you‘ve settled it, have you! Well, I hope you won‘t live to repent it,‘ said Banford. (54)45.So the boy‘s eyes stared fixedly as the train drew away, and she was left feeling intensely forlorn.(55)46.He took no heed of all March‘s outpouring: none. (57)47.Away across, on the green horizontal approach, a figure was just swinging on to a bicycle again,and lurching up and down over the grass, approaching. (59)48.March craned her head to look. She alone recognized the khaki figure. She flushed, but saidnothing.(59)49.‗Well, I must say, we weren‘t expecting you,‘ said Banford laconically. (60)50.‗No, it‘s just possible the tree might, though,‘ he answered soberly. (63)51.There was a moment of pure, motionless suspense, when the world seemed to stand still. (63)52.He stood up. March was standing there petrified and absolutely motionless. (64)53.And in her dark, vacant eyes was a sort of wound, and her face looked a little peaked. (65)54. And at the same moment there was the awful crash of a gun reverberating between the oldbuildings, as if all the night had gone smash. (37)55. March was in agony and dazed bewilderment, looking for something to line the box with. (38)56. She pursed her lips, and her eyes went black and vacant. Then she took the head in her hand. (38)57. Later in the day she saw the f ox‘s skin nailed flat on a board, as if crucified. It gave her an uneasyfeeling. (39)Maggie1.On the ground, children from Devil‘s Row closed in on their antagonist … the little boys ran toand fro, dodging, hurling stone and swearing in barbaric trebles.2.―Ah, Jimmie, youse bin fightin‘ again.‖ The urchin swelled disdainfully.3.Jimmie sat nursing his (various) wounds. He cast furtive glances at his mother.4.Her (Maggie) features were haggard from weeping, and her eyes gleamed from fear.5.But Pete seemed to be enveloped in reminiscence.6.He walked to and fro in the small room, which seemed then to grow even smaller and unfit to holdhis dignity, the attribute of a supreme warrior.7.She craved those adornments of person which she saw every day on the street, conceiving them tobe allies of vast importance to women.8.The air in the collar and cuff establishment strangled her. She knew she was gradually and surelyshrivelling in the hot, stuffy room.。
