George had two sisters who had had the best governesses and teachers. They had a very low opinion of Miss Amelia s intelligence, and wondered how their brother could find her charming. Amelia often spent hours in their company and tried to like them as the sisters of her future husband. But as they always looked down on her, the poor girl became nervous in their presence that she appeared as stupid as they thought her to be. The sisters were angry because George often left Amelia alone in their company, and went off by himself. For instance, when the young man who had been paying attention to Miss Maria Osborne, asked pretty Amelia to dance with him, it certainly annoyed Maria. Frequently, George s sisters repeated that he was sacrificing himself for Amelia that is why he run away from her as much as he could. When Captain Dobbin called at the Sedleys home he pretended he wanted to see George, he only saw Amelia, sitting sadly near the drawing-room window. Once, after George had been absent for three days, Amelia put on her bonnet and went to the Osbornes house to see if he was at home. What, you left our brother to come to us? said her sisters. Have you had a quarrel? DO tell us. No, there had been no quarrel. Who could quarrel with him? she said and her eyes filled with tears. I have only come to see you; we haven t met for so long. Why did her parents do nothing? Old Sedley did not seem to notice anything except his financial affairs, which kept him so terribly busy. As to Mrs Sedley, she was too occupied with her morning duties, her daily carriage drive, and that delightful habit of visits and shopping that in those days formed amusement of a rich London lady. Joseph Sedley was away, having medical treatment for his liver, and trying to become braver in the presence of the ladies. Amelia was at home by herself too much. Of course, she tried to convince herself that George must be busy doing his military duties, and he can t get a leave. Besides, he had to see his friends and sisters, and when he was with his regiment, he was too tired to write long letters. While George s letters were short, Amelia s were long, and there were so many of them that he was really ashamed of the jokes of his army companions made about his mysterious lady friend. Once he was seen lighting his cigar with one of her letters, to the horror of Captain Dobbin; he would have given a lot of money for that very piece of paper.

All my life I have lived in the city, in a block of flats on the fifth floor, the only thing I could see from my window was another block, even uglier than mine. I have always dreamed of moving to the country, and I have never given up the fantasy of living in a cottage. As it turned out my stubbornness finally paid off. It all began five years ago, when me and my friends have decided to spend a few days in the country side and have a little rest from the business of the inner city and our poky flats. We yearned for the vastness and wilderness of the nature. As we were driving along a narrow country lane I spotted an old small house with a for sale notice outside. No-one
lived there, since it was in such terrible condition, clearly nobody had lived there for a long time. Nevertheless, I wasn t bothered by any of these facts; I was simply and purely enchanted by the beauty of the place as a whole. The cottage was situated at the edge of the forest, it was surrounded by a plentiful of old birches, and there also was a path behind the house, which lead up to a small stream. From outside it looked neglected, the tiles had slipped off the roof, the windows were broken, and the paint had come off from the walls. It was in such a state that the owner didn t even bother to close the door. When we came in we were stunned by the beauty of its interior, it was much better kept than the exterior. Of course, it wasn t habitable, there was an immerse dump allover the place, and mould on the walls, however, there was one thing that immediately caught my attention, namely a big fireplace in the corner of the room. It had the most beautiful tiles I have ever seen, and what is more none of them has fallen off. I made my mind on buying that house, it turned out that the price was very convenient, due to the fact that I was the first person to ask about the house since 1980s. Everyone considered me crazy, but I was convinced that I will make this place my dream home. 3.1 The author has never dreamt of living in the country. 3.2 The author came across the house by chance. 3.3 The house was well guarded. 3.4 The house was pricey. 3.5 The cottage was in a very bad condition. 3.6 The house looked worse in the inside than from the outside. 3.7 The fireplace was destroyed and parts of it were missing.
