问题     She was one of those pretty and charming girls who are sometimes, as if by a mistake of destiny, born into a family of clerks.【C1】________, no means of being known, understood, loved, or wedded by any rich and distinguished man; and she let herself be married to a little clerk at the Ministry of Public Instruction.
    【C2】________because she could not dress well, but her unhappiness seemed to be deeper than one might expect. She seemed to feel that she had fallen from her proper station in life as a woman of wealth, beauty, grace, and charm. She valued these above all else in life, yet【C3】________. She cared nothing for caste or rank but only for a natural fineness, an instinct for what is elegant, and a suppleness of wit. These would have made her【C4】________. If only she could attain them…

She thought of long salons【C7】________, of delicate furniture carrying priceless curiosities, and of coquettish perfumed boudoirs made for talks at five o’ clock with intimate friends, with men famous and sought after,【C8】________and whose attention they all desire.
    When she sat down to dinner before the round table【C9】________, opposite her husband, who declared with an enchanted air. " Ah, the good pot-au-feu! I don’t know anything better than that, " she thought of best dinners, of shining silverware, of tapestry which peopled the walls with ancient personages and with strange birds flying in the midst of a fairy forest; and【C10】________served on marvelous plates, and of the whispered gallantries which you listened to with a sphinxlike smile while you are eating the pink flesh of a trout or the wings of a quail.
