Exercise C.

There was a small bird in a cage and two white mice ran around the room filled with a strange unwholesome smell of fungus. Ink was splattered all around.
Ans2. When David saw the placard, he got upon a desk apprehensive of a great dog because the worfs on the placard said," Take care of him. He bites."
Ans3. David suffered greatly because he always fancied that somebody was reading the placard on his back.
