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 A23 ______ like dirt, she said, laughing in A24 ______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 A25 ______ and her father said he would go far, but he hadnt.
