The rain beats _hard_ against the window panes. 4. Have you known them long? I have only known them a few months myself. 5. Listen! It's _striking_ twelve. We must _go now_. 6. My duties have _kept_ me from going to see him. 7. Have you a railroad guide? Yes. _Here_ it is. _But_ it is an old _one_. 8. Turn into the gla.s.s _all_ that the bottle won't _hold_. 9. We are _getting near_ the city _now_, aren't we? 10. _Will_ you _please_ come _this way_, gentlemen. The others are waiting for you.

11. _Now_ we _have only_ two things _left to ask for_.

(_c_) 1. _Since_ his son went to war he has _to take_ his morning walk alone. 2. They would never _make fun of_ a _poor_ young man who _wanted_ to _help_ them _because_ he _thought_ they were _poor_. _From day to day_ she _was_ afraid he would discover it and _go away_ from her. 4.

_Two days after getting_ her letter he found out everything that had happened. 5. _Let_ them _think_ what they _will_, it doesn't matter to me. 6. He _wants_ me now more than _ever_. I _will_ spend my whole life _taking care of_ him. 7. You _needn't do_ that again. I will do it myself. 8. But I _do_ appreciate this young man! 9. _But even so_ he had _succeeded_ in _getting together_ the respectable sum of forty thousand francs. 10. He _got into_ the automobile hastily, anxious to _get away_.

11. The vehicle _started_ at full speed _because_ the driver _knew_ that he would _have to hurry_ if he _wanted_ to _get to_ the station _before_ the train _left_.

(_d_) 1. _Within_ a few days he felt great esteem for the new employe.

2. _Do_ what you _will_ but _don't_ talk to me _about_ them. 3. One day the oldest daughter _appeared_ at the farm and said she _wanted_ to see her mother. 4. One day when they saw him _alone_ they _went up_ to him and _asked_ him where he was going. 5. It was useless to _have_ teachers come _for_ him. n.o.body could _get_ him to study. 6. He _told_ his relatives of the great fortune that he _had just_ inherited. 7. He wished to _appear before_ them _as_ a millionaire. 8. He couldn't _stand_ it that his _only_ daughter should _grow up like_ a boy. 9. If I _only_ had what my father gives me, I shouldn't have much. 10. And finally he _asked_ me the same _question_, _wondering_ that the idea had not occurred to him _before_. 11. _Can_ it be that this is the _last_ sentence that we are to write?
