5. Comment on the following:

1). Those jewels remain in trust for your wife, Philip, when you marry. And that's another thing. That collar has a significance of its own, which some of the older among the tenants at dinner tonight may remark upon. An Ashley, on his marriage, allows his bride to wear the collar on her wedding day as sole adornment. That is the kind of family superstition which the people about here delight in, and, as I have told you, the older amongst them know the tale. It is unfortunate, and the sort of thing that causes gossip. I am sure that Mrs. Ashley, in her situation, is the last person to wish that.

2). I was so bitter and angry I could have ridden to the bank upon the instant, and gone to the vaults, and brought back every piece of jewellery there, every stone, every gem, and given them to her, and all the gold and silver in the bank as well. I could have given her the world.

6. Translate the following passages:

1). His manner was abrupt. He stood with one hand behind his back; the other tugged at his white moustache. I wondered if something about the dinner had upset him. Had the cider flowed too freely for his liking? Then I saw him stare at Rachel. His eyes were fixed upon the collar of pearls around her throat. He saw me staring, and he turned away. For a moment I felt back again in the Fourth Form at Harrow, with the master discovering the crib hidden under my Latin book. Then I shrugged my shoulders. I was Philip Ashley, aged four-and-twenty years. And no one in the world, certainly not my godfather, could dictate to me to whom I should or should not give Christmas presents. I wondered if Mrs. Pascoe had already dropped some fell remark. Possibly good manners would prevent her. And anyway, she could not know the collar. My mother had been dead before Mr. Pascoe held the living. Louise had noticed it. That was already plain. I saw her blue eyes waver towards Rachel and then drop again.
