Clara : Well, you are a funny child! Don’t you know you are here to stay with me and
share my ___________? They are really dull and I feel as if the ___________
will never end. My ___________ comes every morning at ten o’clock and

then we do my lessons till two and it does seem such a long time. Sometimes
he takes the book and holds it close up to his ___________, as if he can’t see,

but I know it’s only because he wants to yawn. Sometimes Ms Rottenmeier
takes her large handkerchief out and covers her face with it, as if she was
impressed by what we had been ___________, but that is only because she

wants to ___________ too. I myself often want to yawn, but I dare not, for if
Ms Rottenmeier sees me yawning she says that I must have a dose of cod-liver
oil, as I am getting ___________ again, and the cod-liver oil tastes horrible. But

now it will be much more fun, as I will just sit back and listen while you learn
to ___________.
