At the time I thought the sheet music claimed it was 4/4. I was wrong, but surely a perverse person could argue the point? I can't see on what basis they would, unless they're willing to argue 3/4 and 6/8 don't really exist and you can always fit them into 4/4. But maybe I'm missing their point. Callaina seems to think it doesn't matter, but it seems clearly 3/4 to me, as it does to most of the internet, although there is a 6/8 faction. There's always room for subjectivity but it sounds like a rather clear 3/4 to me. I just feel like 3/4 measures are complete and self-sufficient here. |

Though in this context it would probably be awkward (because the first part uses a verb). But then, the point of a zeugma is to sound at least a little weird. |

The classic technique of going through the consonants on my keyboard did it. Hopefully.

[A star is seen at the darker end of the gallery; it is stationary; and a voice
is heard singing]
FIRST SPIRIT
Mortal! to thy bidding bow'd,
From my mansion in the cloud,
Which the breath of twilight builds,
And the summer's sun-set gilds
With the azure and vermilion,
Which is mix'd for my pavilion;
Though thy quest may be forbidden,
On a star-beam I have ridden;
To thine adjuration bow'd,
Mortal -- be thy wish avow'd!
Voice of the SECOND SPIRIT
Mont Blanc is the monarch of mountains,
They crowned him long ago
On a throne of rocks, in a robe of clouds,
With a diadem of snow.
Around his waist are forests braced,
The Avalanche in his hand;
But ere it fall, that thundering ball
Must pause for my command.
The Glacier's cold and restless mass
Moves onward day by day;
But I am he who bids it pass,
Or with its ice delay.
I am the spirit of the place,
Could make the mountain bow
And quiver to his cavern'd base--
And what with me wouldst Thou? |

Tom decided that he could be ____ of Becky Thatcher now. ____ was sufficient. He would live for ____. Now that he was distinguished, maybe she would be wanting to "____ ____." Well, let her—she should see that he could be as indifferent as some other people. Presently she arrived. Tom pretended not to see her. He moved away and joined a group of boys and girls and began to talk. Soon he observed that she was tripping gayly back and forth with flushed face and dancing eyes, pretending to be busy chasing school-mates, and screaming with laughter when she made a ____; but he noticed that she always made her ____ in his vicinity, and that she seemed to cast a conscious eye in his direction at such times, too. It gratified all the vicious ____ that was in him; and so, instead of winning him it only "set him up" the more and made him the more diligent to avoid ____ that he knew she was ____. Presently she gave over skylarking, and moved irresolutely about, sighing once or twice and glancing furtively and wistfully toward Tom. Then she observed that now Tom was talking more particularly to Amy Lawrence than to any one else. She felt a sharp pang and grew disturbed and uneasy at once. She tried to go away, but her feet were ____, and carried her to the group instead. She said to a girl almost at Tom's elbow—with sham vivacity:
"Why Mary Austin! you bad girl, why didn't you come to Sunday-school?"
"I did come—didn't you see me?"
"Why no! Did you? Where did you sit?
"I was in Miss Peter's class, where I always go. I saw you."
"Did you? Why it's funny I didn't see you. I wanted to tell you about the pic-nic."
"O, that's jolly. Who's going to give it?"
"My ma's going to let me have one."
"O, goody; I hope she'll let me come."
"Well she will. The pic-nic's for me. She'll let anybody come that I want, and I want you."
"That's ever so nice. When is it going to be?"
"By and by. Maybe about vacation."
"O, won't it be fun! You going to have all the girls and boys?"
"Yes, every one that's friends to me—or wants to be;" and she glanced ever so furtively at Tom, but he talked right along to Amy Lawrence about the terrible storm on the island, and how the ____ tore the great ____ ____ "all to flinders" while he was "standing within three feet of it."
"O, may I come?" said Gracie Miller.
"Yes."
"And me?" said Sally Rogers.
"Yes."
"And me, too?" said Susy Harper. "And Joe?"
"Yes."

I once said botany was off limits, but in my defense, I blanked the two word phrase to hide the fact that it was about *a* tree; I didn't mean to make it a botany quizz lol |

Right meaning. around/near/there (I meant "after" as a preposition but maybe your hint applies to it as an adverb) I wasn't sure, but yes the right word is an adverb, and "around" is your best guess. Tom decided that he could be ____ of Becky Thatcher now. Most of your guesses for that blank were rather good, but it's hard to tell which one was the closest. Maybe "weaned". |
