Question

Read the passage carefully and answer the following questions.
It was pretty late in the autumn of the year, when the declining sun struggling through the mist which
had obscured it all day looked brightly down upon a little Wiltshire village, within an easy joumey of
the fair old town of Salisbury.
Like a sudden flash of memory or spint kindling up the mind of an old man, it shed a glory upon the
scene, in which its departed youth and freshness seemed to live again. The wet grass sparked in
the light, the scanty patches of verdure in the hedges-where a few green twigs yet stood together
bravely, resisting to the last the tyranny of nipping winds and early frosts--took heart and brightened

church glistened from its lofty station in sympathy with the general gladness, and from the vy-
