But you will pardon me if I ask you first, why did she come to Johannesburg? Kumalo, though disturbed by this question, answered obediently. She came to look for her husband who was recruited for the mines. But when his time was up, he did not return, nor did he write at all. She did not know if he 5 were dead perhaps. So she took her small child and went to look for him. Then because Msimangu did not speak, he asked anxiously, Is she very sick? Msimangu said gravely, Yes, she is very sick. But it is not that kind of sickness. It is another, a worse kind of sickness. I sent for you firstly because 10 she is a woman that is alone, and secondly because her brother is a priest. I do not know if she ever found her husband, but she has no husband now. He looked at Kumalo. It would be truer to say, he said, that she has many husbands. Kumalo said, Tixo! Tixo! 15 – She lives in Claremont, not far from here. It is one of the worst places in Johannesburg. After the police have been there, you can see the liquor running in the streets. You can smell it, you can smell nothing else, wherever you go in that place. [Book 1, Chapter 5] Copyright reserved Please turn over

Indeed, he neither saw sight nor heard sound till his wife said to him, It has come then, Stephen. And when he nodded, she said, Give it to me, Stephen. With shaking hands he gave it to her, and she read it also, and sat looking before her, with 5 lost and terrible eyes, for this was the child of her womb, of her breasts. Yet she did not sit as long as he had done, for she stood up and said, It is not good to sit idle. Finish your letters, and go to see Kuluse's child, and the girl Elizabeth that is ill. And I shall do my work about the house. – There is another letter, he said. 10 – From him? she said. – From him. He gave it to her, and she sat down again and opened it carefully and read it. The pain was in her eyes and her face and her hands, but he did not see it, for he stared before him on the floor, only his eyes were not looking at 15 the floor but at no place at all, and his face was sunken, in the same mould of suffering from which it had escaped since his return to this valley. – Stephen, she said sharply.

NOTE: Answer the questions set on BOTH extracts, i.e. QUESTION 2.1 AND QUESTION 2.2. 2.1 EXTRACT C [Mr Utterson is concerned about Dr Jekyll's will.] This document had long been the lawyer's eyesore. It offended him both as a lawyer and as a lover of the sane and customary sides of life, to whom the fanciful was the immodest. And hitherto it was his ignorance of Mr Hyde that had swelled his indignation; now, by a sudden turn, it was his knowledge. It was already bad enough when the name was but a name of which he could 5 learn no more. It was worse when it began to be clothed upon with detestable attributes; and out of the shifting, insubstantial mists that had so long baffled his eye, there leaped up the sudden, definite presentment of a fiend. 'I thought it was madness,' he said, as he replaced the obnoxious paper in the safe, 'and now I begin to fear it is disgrace.' 10 With that he blew out his candle, put on a greatcoat, and set forth in the direction of Cavendish Square, that citadel of medicine, where his friend, the great Dr Lanyon, had his house and received his crowding patients. 'If anyone knows, it will be Lanyon,' he had thought. The solemn butler knew and welcomed him; he was subjected to no stage 15 of delay, but ushered direct from the door to the dining-room, where Dr Lanyon sat alone over his wine.

The middle one of the three windows was half-way open; and sitting close beside it, taking the air with an infinite sadness of mien, like some disconsolate prisoner, Utterson saw Dr Jekyll. 'What! Jekyll!' he cried. 'I trust you are better.' 5 'I am very low, Utterson,' replied the doctor drearily, 'very low. It will not last long, thank God.' 'You stay too much indoors,' said the lawyer. 'You should be out, whipping up the circulation like Mr Enfield and me. (This is my cousin – Mr Enfield – Dr Jekyll.) Come now; get your hat and take a quick turn with us.' 10 'You are very good,' sighed the other. 'I should like to very much; but no, no, no, it is quite impossible; I dare not. But indeed, Utterson, I am very glad to see you; this is really a great pleasure; I would ask you and Mr Enfield up, but the place is really not fit.' 'Why then,' said the lawyer good-naturedly, 'the best thing we can do is to 15 stay down here and speak with you from where we are.' ‘That is just what I was about to venture to propose,' returned the doctor, with a smile.

She was as pretty as a little girl in a picture book, but now she sat with 10 her eyes lowered, staring at the plastic check tablecloth. Ginny looked more serious than Chester had ever seen her, and he was frightened of what he had unleashed. He looked from one to the other. He fidgeted nervously, licking his lips. 'We both love you very much,' Arthur Arlington began, covering Ginny's 15 right hand which was lying on the table. Her left hand was holding one of Julia's, so the three of them were joined together.

Downloaded from hlayiso.com English First Additional Language/P2 23 DBE/November 2022 NSC 5.2 'THE FUR COAT' EXTRACT J [Paddy and Molly talk about the fur coat.] 'That sounds a good idea.' He considered the matter as judiciously as if he were considering a memorandum for a projected bypass. She leaned back, contented, with the air of a woman who has successfully laid her conscience to rest. Then he spoiled it all by asking, 'But, tell me, what do all the women do 5 who haven't fur coats?' 'They dress.' 'Dress? Don't ye all dress?' 'Paddy, don't be silly. They think of nothing else but dress. I have no time for dressing. I'm a busy housewife and, anyway, dressing costs a lot of 10 money.' (Here she caught a flicker in his eye which obviously meant that forty quid isn't to be sniffed at either.) 'I mean they have costumes that cost twenty-five pounds. Half a dozen of 'em. They spend a lot of time and thought over it. They live for it. If you were married to one of 'em you'd soon know what it means to dress. The beauty of a fur coat is that you can just throw it on 15 and you're as good as the best of them.' 'Well, that's fine! Get the ould coat.' He was evidently no longer enthusiastic. A fur coat, he had learned, is not a grand thing – it is just a useful thing. He drew his brief case towards him. 5.2.1 Describe the setting of this extract.

Captive – Francis Carey Slater Lament of a sick Xhosa mine-labourer in a compound hospital 1 As a wild bird caught in a slip-knot snare – 2 The plaited tail-hairs of a dun-coloured cow, 3 Almost invisible – 4 So, tethered in the toils of fever, do I lie 5 And burn and shiver while I listen to the buzzing 6 Of flies that flutter vainly 7 Against cold, hard, deceiving window-panes: 8 Like them would I escape, and escaping hasten 9 To my home that shines in a valley afar, 10 My home – brightest tooth in the jaws of distance. 11 There, now, the cows I love are feeding 12 In some quiet sun-washed vale; 13 Their lazy shadows drink the sunlight 14 Rippling on the grasses; 15 There, through the long day, girls and women 16 Among the mealies chant and hoe, 17 Their swinging hoes are like the glitter 18 Of sunshine on water; 19 There, now, shouting, happy herdboys, 20 While they watch the cattle browse, 21 Are busy moulding mimic cattle 22 From clay moist and yellow. 23 There, when the sun has folded his wings that dazzle, 24 And has sunken to his hidden nest beyond the hills, 25 All shall group together gaily, around the crackling fires, 26 And chew the juicy cud of gathered day; Copyright reserved Please turn over

Mid-term break – Seamus Heaney 1 I sat all morning in the college sick bay 2 Counting bells knelling classes to a close. 3 At two o'clock our neighbours drove me home. 4 In the porch I met my father crying – 5 He had always taken funerals in his stride – 6 And Big Jim Evans saying it was a hard blow. 7 The baby cooed and laughed and rocked the pram 8 When I came in, and I was embarrassed 9 By old men standing up to shake my hand 10 And tell me they were 'sorry for my trouble'. 11 Whispers informed strangers I was the eldest, 12 Away at school, as my mother held my hand 13 In hers and coughed out angry tearless sighs. 14 At ten o'clock the ambulance arrived 15 With the corpse, stanched and bandaged by the nurses. 16 Next morning I went up into the room. Snowdrops 17 And candles soothed the bedside; I saw him 18 For the first time in six weeks. Paler now, 19 Wearing a poppy bruise on his left temple, 20 He lay in the four-foot box as in his cot. 21 No gaudy scars, the bumper knocked him clear. 22 A four-foot box, a foot for every year.
