Read the passage.
She was alone and still, gazing out to sea;
and when she felt his presence and the worship of his eyes her eyes turned to him in quiet sufferance
of his gaze, without shame or wantonness. Long, long she suffered his gaze and then quietly withdrew
her eyes from his and bent them towards the stream, gently stirring the water with her foot hither
and thither. The first faint noise of gently moving water broke the silence, low and faint and
whispering, faint as the bells of sleep; hither and thither, hither and thither: and a faint flame
trembled on her cheek.Copyright Info: Joyce, James. A Portrait of the Artist as a
Young Man. Bedford Books, 1993.

The view was outstanding! As we stood on the
deck of our ship, we looked at the red and purple landscape. Truly, this planet was something to see.

doorway, and then asked my assistant if he was ready to collect some specimens from this colorful
world. I ignored the
prompting to check the cabin as we prepared to set foot outside of our
ship. Little did we know what would lie ahead.

remembered the strange sound in the storage area? a. | collecting
