Mrs Garstin was a hard, cruel, managing and ambitious woman. Coming to Hong | |||||||||||||||
Kong on her marriage, she found it hard to reconcile herself to the fact that her social | |||||||||||||||
position was | A21 | _______________ by her husbands occupation. | |||||||||||||
Of course everyone was very kind, and for two or three months they went out to | |||||||||||||||
parties almost every night, but she understood quickly that as the wife of a | |||||||||||||||
bacteriologist she was of no particular consequence. | |||||||||||||||
Its too absurd, she told her husband. Theres hardly anyone here that one would | |||||||||||||||
bother about for five minutes at home. | |||||||||||||||
It is rather funny when you think of all the people who used to come to our house at | |||||||||||||||
home that here we should be | A22 | _______________ like dirt, she said, | |||||||||||||
laughing in | A23 | _______________ that what she said might not seem snobbish. | |||||||||||||
She was the daughter of a solicitor in Liverpool, and Bernard Garstin had met her | |||||||||||||||
there. He had seemed then a young man of | A24 | _______________ and her | |||||||||||||
father said he would go far, but he hadnt. | |||||||||||||||
He was painstaking, industrious and capable, but he had not the will to advance | |||||||||||||||
himself. Mrs Garstin despised him. But she recognized that she could only achieve | |||||||||||||||
success through him, and she set herself to drive him on the way she desired to go. | |||||||||||||||
She discovered that if she wanted him to do something which his sensitiveness | |||||||||||||||
revolved against she had only to give him no peace and eventually, exhausted, he | |||||||||||||||
would give | A25 | ________________. | |||||||||||||
Still he made no headway as a leader. But he | A26 | _______________ | |||||||||||||
any disappointment he may have felt, and if he reproached his wife it was in his | |||||||||||||||
heart. | |||||||||||||||
His daughters had never looked upon him as anything but a source of income; and | |||||||||||||||
now, understanding that through his | A27 | _______________ money was less | |||||||||||||
plentiful, the indifference they had felt for him was tinged with contempt. | |||||||||||||||
He was a stranger to them, but because he was their father they | A28 | __________ | |||||||||||||
it for granted that he should love and cherish them. | |||||||||||||||
