55、nd necklace, turning pages as if uncovering treasures.6. What event made the narrator open his mouth in public without stuttering for the first time?It was Professor Crouchs trick.

What idiocy is there in the city dwellers trying to live outside the city boundaries?The idiocy of the practice lines in the pretence of the city dwellers. For one thing, they dis

59、dain rural life on the hand, and on the other hand, they try to simulate it by creating large or small patches of greenery around their suburb, exurb or rururb residences.
