1. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow:
1. I left the lodgings at the same hour; and this turned out a very unfortunate
occurrence for me: because, henceforward at inns, I was drained of my money very
rapidly. In the fortnight I was reduced to a short allowance; that is, I could allow
myself only one meal a day. From the keen appetite produced by constant exercise
and mountain air acting on a youthful stomach, I soon began to suffer greatly on this
slender regimen; for the single meal which I could venture to order was coffee or tea.
Even this, however, was at length withdrawn: and afterwards, so long as I remained
in Wales, I subsisted either on blackberries, hip-haws, etc., or on the casual
hospitalities which I now and then received, in return for such little services as I had
the opportunity of rendering, sometimes I wrote letters to their sweethearts for young
women who had lived as servants in Shrewsbury, or other towns on the English
border. On all such occasions I gave great satisfaction, to my humble friends, and
was generally treated with hospitality.
Now answer these questions.
