(wrap) him in a warm blanket,
when Jill came in with a tray in her hands. 2. They,
(reach) the peacock door
and stood there, talking. 3. She
(come in) and
(untie) her bonnet

(dry) her tears and
(powder) her nose again. She greeted

(begin) to grow dark; the cold autumn wind
(whistle); clouds
(creep) over the sky. 8. When I looked up
again I saw that she
(move), and
(stand) with her hand on the

(enter) from the gate at the far end of the lawn and
(move)
rapidly across towards the house. 10. When I
(look) out of the window, the
sun
(approach) the horizon and dark clouds
(overspread)
the sky. 11. Elinor
(not/take) more than half a dozen steps when a hand fell
