Mr. Jones woke early one morning, before the sun had risen. It was a beautiful morning, _31_ he
went to the window and looked out. He was _32_ to see a neatly-dressed and mid-aged professor, who _33_ in the university just up the road from Mr. Jones‘ house, coming the
direction of the town. He had grey hair thick glasses, and was _34 an umbrella, a
morning newspaper and a bag. Mr. Jones thought that he must have _35_ by the night train _36_ taking
a taxi.
Mr. Jones had a big tree in his garden, and the children had tied a long _37_ to one of the branches,
so that they could swing on it.
Mr. Jones saw the professor _38_ when he saw the rope and looked carefully up and down the road.
When he saw that there was _39_ in sight, he stepped into the garden (there was no fence), put his
umbrella, newspaper, bag and hat nearly on the grass and _40_ the rope. He pulled it _41_ to see
whether it was strong enough to take his weight, then ran as fast as he could and swung into
the _42_ on the end of the rope, his grey hair blowing all around _43_. _44_ he swung, sometimes
taking a few more _45_ steps on the grass when the rope began to swing _46_ slowly for him.
_47_ the professor stopped, straightened his tie, combed his hair carefully, put on his hat, _48_
his umbrella, newspaper and bag, and continued _49_ his way to the university, looking as _50_
and correct and respectable as one would expect a professor to be.
