EXAMINATION CARD № 23

I. READING

Once there were four children whose names were Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy. This

story is about something that happened to them when they were sent away from London

during the war because of the air-raids¹. They were sent to the house of an old Professor

who lived in the heart of the country, ten miles from the nearest railway station and two

miles from the nearest post office. He had no wife and he lived in a very large house with a

housekeeper called Mrs. Macready and three servants. (Their names were Ivy, Margaret

and Betty, but they do not come into the story much.) He himself was a very old man with

shaggy² white hair which grew over most of his face as well as on his head, and they liked

him almost at once; but on the first evening when he came out to meet them at the front

door he was so odd-looking that Lucy (who was the youngest) was a little afraid of him, and

Edmund (who was the next youngest) wanted to laugh and had to keep on pretending he

was blowing his nose to hide it.
