              2. Mathew ascended three flights of stairs--passed half-way down a long arched gallery--and knocked at
              another old-fashioned oak door. This time the signal was answered. A low, clear, sweet voice, inside the
              room, inquired who was waiting without? In a few hasty words Mathew told his errand. Before he had
              done speaking the door was quietly and quickly opened, and Sarah Leeson confronted him on the
              threshold, with her candle in her hand.
              Not tall, not handsome, not in her first youth--shy and irresolute in manner--simple in dress to the utmost
              limits of plainness--the lady's-maid, in spite of all these disadvantages, was a woman whom it was
              impossible to look at without a feeling of curiosity, if not of interest. Few men, at first sight of her, could
              have resisted the desire to find out who she was; few would have been satisfied with receiving for answer,
              She is Mrs. Treverton's maid; few would have refrained from the attempt to extract some secret
              information for themselves from her face and manner; and none, not even the most patient and practiced
              of observers, could have succeeded in discovering more than that she must have passed through the
              ordeal of some great suffering at some former period of her life. Much in her manner, and more in her face,
              said plainly and sadly: I am the wreck of something that you might once have liked to see; a wreck that
              can never be repaired--that must drift on through life unnoticed, unguided, unpitied--drift till the fatal shore
              is touched, and the waves of Time have swallowed up these broken relics of me forever.
              This was the story that was told in Sarah Leeson's face--this, and no more. No two men interpreting that
              story for themselves, would probably have agreed on the nature of the suffering which this woman had
              undergone. It was hard to say, at the outset, whether the past pain that had set its ineffaceable mark on
              her had been pain of the body or pain of the mind. But whatever the nature of the affliction she had
              suffered, the traces it had left were deeply and strikingly visible in every part of her face.
              Her cheeks had lost their roundness and their natural color; her lips, singularly flexible in movement and
              delicate in form, had faded to an unhealthy paleness; her eyes, large and black and overshadowed by
              unusually thick lashes, had contracted an anxious startled look, which never left them and which piteously
              expressed the painful acuteness of her sensibility, the inherent timidity of her disposition. So far, the
              marks which sorrow or sickness had set on her were the marks common to most victims of mental or
              physical suffering. The one extraordinary personal deterioration which she had undergone consisted in
              the unnatural change that had passed over the color of her hair. It was as thick and soft, it grew as
              gracefully, as the hair of a young girl; but it was as gray as the hair of an old woman. It seemed to
              contradict, in the most startling manner, every personal assertion of youth that still existed in her face.
              With all its haggardness and paleness, no one could have looked at it and supposed for a moment that it
              was the face of an elderly woman. Wan as they might be, there was not a wrinkle in her cheeks. Her eyes,
              viewed apart from their prevailing expression of uneasiness and timidity, still preserved that bright, clear
              moisture which is never seen in the eyes of the old. The skin about her temples was as delicately smooth
              as the skin of a child. These and other physical signs which never mislead, showed that she was still, as
              to years, in the very prime of her life.
              Sickly and sorrow-stricken as she was, she looked, from the eyes downward, a woman who had barely
              reached thirty years of age. From the eyes upward, the effect of her abundant gray hair, seen in
              connection with her face, was not simply incongruous--it was absolutely startling; so startling as to make it
              no paradox to say that she would have looked most natural, most like herself if her hair had been dyed. In
              her case, Art would have seemed to be the truth, because Nature looked like falsehood.
              What shock had stricken her hair, in the very maturity of its luxuriance, with the hue of an unnatural old
              age? Was it a serious illness, or a dreadful grief that had turned her gray in the prime of her womanhood?
              That question had often been agitated among her fellow-servants, who were all struck by the peculiarities
              of her personal appearance, and rendered a little suspicious of her, as well, by an inveterate habit that
              she had of talking to herself. Inquire as they might, however, their curiosity was always baffled. Nothing
              more could be discovered than that Sarah Leeson was, in the common phrase, touchy on the subject of
              her gray hair and her habit of talking to herself, and that Sarah Leeson's mistress had long since forbidden
              every one, from her husband downward, to ruffle her maid's tranquility by inquisitive questions.
              What makes the term "unnatural" ironic as used in the passage?

              A) For a young girl in every other aspect, this pain caused graying hair.
              B) The gray hair was any more unnatural than any other markings was apparent.
              C) It was unusual that someone so young would have such markings.
              D) The markings would be visible in every part of her face.
              E) We know her to be only around 30 with all these marks.


              3. Were I indeed ______, I likely would not still be teaching, for I would have long ago played the winning
              lottery numbers and be traveling the world sending postcards to the classroom.

              A) clairvoyant
              B) prescient
              C) fortuitous
              D) philanthropic
              E) perspicacious


              4. In compliance with the request of a friend of mine, who wrote me from the East, I called on good- natured,
              garrulous old Simon Wheeler, and inquired after my friend's friend, Leonidas W. Smiley, as requested to
              do, and I hereunto append the result. I have a lurking suspicion that Leonidas W. Smiley is a myth; that
              my friend never knew such a personage; and that he only conjectured that, if I asked old Wheeler about
              him, it would remind him of his infamous Jim Smiley, and he would go to work and bore me nearly to
              death with some infernal reminiscence of him as long and tedious as it should be useless to me. If that
              was the design, it certainly succeeded. I found Simon Wheeler dozing comfortably by the barroom stove
              of the old, dilapidated tavern in the ancient mining camp of Angel's, and I noticed that he was fat and
              bald-headed, and had an expression of winning gentleness and simplicity upon his tranquil countenance.
              He roused up and gave me good- day. I told him a friend of mine had commissioned me to make some
              inquiries about a cherished companion of his boyhood named Leonidas W.
              Smiley--Rev. Leonidas W. Smiley--a young minister of the Gospel, who he had heard was at one time a
              resident of Angel's Camp. I added that, if Mr. Wheeler could tell me anything about this Rev. Leonidas W.
              Smiley, I would feel under many obligations to him.
              What is the significance of the information "he was fat and bald-headed, and had an expression of
              winning gentleness and simplicity upon his tranquil countenance" in 2nd paragraph to the narrator?

              A) This allowed the narrator to be reassured due to Wheeler's "tranquil countenance."
              B) The narrator was hesitant about meeting someone unknown and his countenance settled his nerves.
              C) This made the narrator feel reassured that his friend from the East was serious.
              D) Wheeler's winning gentleness calmed the narrator allowing an open discussion as to his business.
              E) Wheeler's unassuming nature allowed the narrator to let his guard down to Wheeler's garrulous side.


              5. Pauline Johnson (18611913) was the daughter of Mohawk leader George Henry Martin; her mother was
              English. Johnson was known in her time as a poet and performer. For years she toured throughout
              Canada giving dramatic readings. Late in her life she turned to writing short stories. This excerpt is from
              "A Red Girl's Reasoning," first published in 1893.
              How interesting--do tell us some more of your old home, Mrs. McDonald; you so seldom speak of your life
              at the post, and we fellows so often wish to hear of it all," said Logan eagerly.
              "Why do you not ask me of it, then?" "Well--er, I'm sure I don't know; I'm fully interested in the Ind --in your
              people--your mother's people, I mean, but it always seems so personal, I suppose; and --a --a--" "Perhaps
              you are, like all other white people, afraid to mention my nationality to me."
              The captain winced, and Mrs. Stuart laughed uneasily. Joe McDonald was not far off, and he was listening,
              and chuckling, and saying to himself, "That's you, Christie, lay `em out; it won't hurt `em to know how they
              appear once in a while." "Well, Captain Logan," she was saying, "what is it you would like to hear--of my
              people, or my parents, or myself?" "All, all, my dear," cried Mrs. Stuart clamorously. "I'll speak for him--tell
              us of yourself and your mother--your father is delightful, I am sure--but then he is only an ordinary
              Englishman, not half so interesting as a foreigner, or--or perhaps I should say, a native."
              Christie laughed. "Yes," she said, "my father often teases my mother now about how very native she was
              when he married her; then, how could she have been otherwise? She did not know a word of English, and
              there was not another English-speaking person besides my father and his two companions within sixty
              miles." "Two companions, eh? One a Catholic priest and the other a wine merchant, I suppose, and with
              your father in the Hudson Bay, they were good representatives of the pioneers in the New World,"
              remarked Logan waggishly.
              "Oh, no, they were all Hudson Bay men. There were no rumsellers and no missionaries in that part of the
              country then." Mrs. Stuart looked puzzled. "No missionaries?" she repeated with an odd intonation.
              Christie's insight was quick. There was a peculiar expression of interrogation in the eyes of her listeners,
              and the girl's blood leapt angrily up into her temples as she said hurriedly, "I know what you mean; I know
              what you are thinking. You are wondering how my parents were married --"
              "Well--er, my dear, it seems peculiar if there was no priest, and no magistrate, why--a--" Mrs. Stuart
              paused awkwardly.
              "The marriage was performed by Indian rites," said Christie. "Oh, do tell about it; is the ceremony very
              interesting and quaint--are your chieftains anything like Buddhist priests?" It was Logan who spoke.
              "Why, no," said the girl in amazement at that gentleman's ignorance. "There is no ceremony at all, save a
              feast. The two people just agree to live only with and for each other, and the man takes his wife to his
              home, just as you do. There is no ritual to bind them; they need none; an Indian's word was his law in
              those days, you know."
              Mrs. Stuart stepped backwards. "Ah!" was all she said. Logan removed his eyeglass and stared blankly at
              Christie. "And did McDonald marry you in this singular fashion?" he questioned. "Oh, no, we were married
              by Father O'Leary. Why do you ask?"
              "Because if he had, I'd have blown his brains out tomorrow." Mrs. Stuart's partner, who had heretofore
              been silent, coughed and began to twirl his cuff stud nervously, but nobody took notice of him. Christie
              had risen, slowly, ominously--risen, with the dignity and pride of an empress.
              "Captain Logan," she said, "what do you dare to say to me? What do you dare to mean? Do you presume
              to think it would not have been lawful for Joe to marry me according to my people's rites? Do you for one
              instant dare to question that my parents were not as legally--"
              "Don't, dear, don't," interrupted Mrs. Stuart hurriedly, "it is bad enough now, goodness knows; don't
              make--" Then she broke off blindly.
              The word post probably means

              A) assignment
              B) trading headquarters
              C) register
              D) mailroom
              E) stake
