问题     The night passed rapidly: I was too tired even to dream: I only once awoke to hear the wind rave in furious gusts, and the rain fall in torrents, and to be【C1】______(sense)that Miss Miller had taken her place by my side. When I again unclosed my eyes, a loud bell was ringing: the girls were up and dressing: day had not yet begun【C2】______dawn, and a rushlight or two burnt in the room. I too rose reluctantly: it was bitter cold, and I dressed as well as I could for shivering, and washed when there was a basin at liberty, which did not occur soon, as there was but one basin to six girls, on the stands down the middle of the room. Again the bell rang: all formed【C3】______file, two and two, and in that order descended the stairs and entered the cold and dimly-lit schoolroom: here prayers were【C4】r______ by Miss Miller: afterwards she called out—"Form classes!"
    A great tumult succeeded for some minutes, during which Miss Miller【C5】______(repeat) exclaimed, "Silence!" and "Order". When it subsided, I saw them all drawn up in four semicircles, before four chairs, placed at the four tables: all held books in their hands, and a great book, like a Bible, 【C6】l______on each table, before the vacant seat. A pause of some seconds succeeded,【C7】______(fill)up by the low, vague hum of numbers: Miss Miller walked from class to class, hushing this indefinite sound.
    A distant bell tinkled: immediately three ladies entered the room, each walked to a table and took her seat: Miss Miller assumed the fourth【C8】va______chair, which was nearest the door, and around which the smallest of the children were assembled: to this inferior class I was called, and placed at the bottom of it.
    Business now began: the day’s Collect was repeated, then certain texts of Scripture were said, and to these succeeded a protracted reading of chapters in the Bible, which lasted an hour. By the time that exercise was terminated, day had fully dawned. The【C9】______(fatigable)bell now sounded for the fourth time: the classes were marshaled and marched into another room to breakfast. How glad I was to behold a prospect of getting something to eat! I was now nearly sick from hunger, having taken so【C10】li______the day before.
【C2】
