Questão 8
Questão
This is a paragraph describing the outside of the manor. Please put a check mark next to each clue.
Responda
-
The building was of gray, lichen-blotched stone, with a high central portion and two curving wings, like the claws of a crab, thrown out on each side.
-
In one of these wings the windows were broken and blocked with wooden boards, while the roof was partly caved in, a picture of ruin.
-
The central portion was in little better repair, but the right-hand block was comparatively modern, and the blinds in the windows, with the blue smoke curling up from the chimneys, showed that this was where the family resided.
-
Some scaffolding had been erected against the end wall, and the stone-work had been broken into, but there were no signs of any workmen at the moment of our visit.
-
Holmes walked slowly up and down the ill-trimmed lawn and examined with deep attention the outsides of the windows.
-
Holmes, after a careful examination through the open window, endeavoured in every way to force the shutter open, but without success.
-
Then with his lens he tested the hinges, but they were of solid iron, built firmly into the massive masonry.

Responda
-
It was a homely little room, with a low ceiling and a gaping fireplace, after the fashion of old country-houses.
-
A brown chest of drawers stood in one corner, a narrow white-counterpaned bed in another, and a dressing-table on the left-hand side of the window.
-
These articles, with two small wicker-work chairs, made up all the furniture in the room save for a square of Wilton carpet in the centre.
-
The boards round and the panelling of the walls were of brown, worm-eaten oak, so old and discoloured that it may have dated from the original building of the house.
-
Holmes pointed to a thick bell-rope which hung down beside the bed, the tassel actually lying upon the pillow.
-
He threw himself down upon his face with his lens in his hand and crawled swiftly backward and forward, examining minutely the cracks between the boards.
-
Then he did the same with the wood-work with which the chamber was panelled.
-
Finally he walked over to the bed and spent some time in staring at it and in running his eye up and down the wall.

-
A camp-bed, a small wooden shelf full of books, mostly of a technical character, an armchair beside the bed, a plain wooden chair against the wall, a round table, and a large iron safe were the principal things which met the eye.
-
"What's in here?" he asked, tapping the safe. "My stepfather's business papers."
-
He took up a small saucer of milk which stood on the top of it.
-
He squatted down in front of the wooden chair and examined the seat of it with the greatest attention.
