He picked up Kumalo’s bag, but before they reached the door Kumalo 5 stopped him. - I have one more thing to tell you. - Yes. - I have a brother also, here in Johannesburg. He too does not write any more. John Kumalo, a carpenter. 10 Msimangu smiled. I know him, he said. He is too busy to write. He is one of our great politicians. - A politician? My brother? - Yes, he is a great man in politics. Msimangu paused. I hope I shall not hurt you further. Your brother has 15 no use for the Church any more. He says that what God has not done for South Africa, man must do. That is what he says. - This is a bitter journey. - I can believe it. - Sometimes I fear – what will the Bishop say when he hears? One of 20 his priests. - What can a Bishop say? Something is happening that no Bishop can stop. Who can stop these things from happening? They must go on. - How can you say so?

Without looking at the old man he said, Is there mercy? Kumalo took the letter from his wallet with trembling hands; his hands trembled partly because of sorrow, and partly because he was always so with this man. Jarvis took the letter and held it away from him so that the 5 dull light fell on it. Then he put it back again in the envelope, and returned it to Kumalo. - I do not understand these matters, he said, but otherwise I understand completely. - I hear you, umnumzana. 10 Jarvis was silent for a while, looking towards the altar and the cross on the altar. - When it comes to the fifteenth day, he said, I shall remember. Stay well, umfundisi. But Kumalo did not say go well. He did not offer to carry the saddle and 15 the bridle, nor did he think to thank Jarvis for the milk. And least of all did he think to ask about the matter of the sticks. And when he rose and went out, Jarvis was gone. It was still raining, but lightly, and the valley was full of sound, of streams and rivers, all red with the blood of the earth.

And what of that? I see little of him now.’ ‘Indeed?’ said Utterson. ‘I thought you had a bond of common 5 interest.’ ‘We had,’ was the reply. ‘But it is more than ten years, since Henry Jekyll became too fanciful for me. He began to go wrong, wrong in mind; and though of course I continue to take an interest in him for old sake’s sake, as they say, I see and I have seen devilish little of 10 the man. Such unscientific balderdash,’ added the doctor flushing suddenly purple, ‘would have estranged Damon and Pythias.’ This little spirit of temper was somewhat of a relief to Mr Utterson. ‘They have only differed on some point of science,’ he thought; and being a man of no scientific passions (except in the 15 matter of conveyancing) he even added: ‘It is nothing worse than that!’ He gave his friend a few seconds to recover his composure, and then approached the question he had come to put. ‘Did you ever come across a protégé of his – one Hyde?’ he asked. ‘Hyde,’ repeated Lanyon. ‘No. Never heard of him.

Now the hand of Henry Jekyll (as you have often remarked) was professional in shape and size: it was large, firm, white and comely. But the hand which I now saw, clearly enough, in the yellow light of a mid-London morning, lying half shut on the bed-clothes, was lean, 5 corded, knuckly, of a dusky pallor, and thickly shaded with a swart growth of hair. It was the hand of Edward Hyde. I must have stared upon it for near half a minute, sunk as I was in the mere stupidity of wonder, before terror woke up in my breast as sudden and startling as the crash of cymbals; and bounding from my 10 bed, I rushed to the mirror. At the sight that met my eyes my blood was changed into something exquisitely thin and icy. Yes, I had gone to bed Henry Jekyll, I had awakened Edward Hyde. How was this to to be explained? I asked myself; and then, with another bound of terror – how was it to be remedied? It was well on in the morning; the 15 servants were up; all my drugs were in the cabinet – a long journey, down two pairs of stairs, through the back passage; across the open court and through the anatomical feature, from where I was then standing horror-struck.

NOTE: Answer the questions set on BOTH extracts, i.e. QUESTION 4.1 AND QUESTION 4.2. 4.1 EXTRACT G [The great debate] THAMI: The opposition has spoken about sexual exploitation and the need for women’s liberation. Brothers and sisters, these are foreign ideas. Do not listen to them. They come from a culture, the so - called Western Civilisation that has meant only misery to Africa and its people. It is the same culture that shipped away thousands 5 of our ancestors as slaves, the same culture that has exploited Africa with the greed of a vulture during the period of Colonialism and the same culture which continues to exploit us in the twentieth century under the disguise of concern for our future. The opposition has not been able to refute my claim that women 10 cannot do the same jobs as men because they are not equals of us physically and that a woman’s role in the family, in society, is totally different to that of the man’s. These facts taken together reinforce what our fathers, and our grandfathers and our great-grandfathers knew – namely, that happiness and prosperity for the tribe and the 15 nation is achieved when education of the little ladies takes these facts into consideration. Would it be right for a woman to go to war while a man sits at the sewing machine? [Act 1, Scene 1] 4.1.1 Choose a description from COLUMN B that matches the name in COLUMN A.

They made an example of him.’ ‘What is an example?’ said Bamjee impatiently. ‘The teacher made him come up and stand in front of the whole class, and he told them, “You see this boy? His mother’s in jail because 10 she likes the natives so much. She wants the Indians to be the same as natives.” ‘It’s terrible,’ he said. His hands fell to his sides. ‘Did she ever think of this?’ ‘That’s why Ma’s there,’ said Jimmy, putting aside his comic and 15 emptying his schoolbooks upon the table. ‘That’s all the kids need to know. Ma’s there because things like this happen. Petersen’s a coloured teacher, and it’s his black blood that’s brought him trouble all his life, I suppose. He hates anyone who says everybody’s the same, because that takes away from him his bit of whiteness that’s all he’s got. What d’you 20 expect? It’s nothing to make too much fuss about.’ ‘Of course, you are fifteen and you know everything,’ Bamjee mumbled at him. ‘I don’t say that. But I know Ma, anyway.’ The boy laughed.

As Miss Slattery explained the problem, he said jokingly to Chester, ‘You little devil, you started the uproar, and now look at you, laughing away with your sister!’ The teacher smiled but Julia’s face clouded. She piped up, ‘Chester’s not the devil! He’s my brother!’ 5 The headmaster and Miss Slattery gave each other a knowing look. Chester felt the change of mood immediately and so did the whimpering pupils. He looked up from his painting and was confused. Julia, however, looked the headmaster straight in the eye and took her brother’s hand. Chester was different and Mummy had told her to look 10 after him. No one was going to pick on him. Chester only knew his sister was sad and cross. He didn’t know why, but he felt responsible. After that, the sense of spoiling things for others remained with him for a long, long time and would not go away. Instinctively, Chester understood he had to behave and try not to cause trouble. 15 A day or two after this incident, Ray Miller started school. He had been sick, and hadn’t come on the first day with the other children. As a result, they all knew each other and he felt left out. Ray tried to be brave, because he knew boys didn’t cry, but he felt lost all the same. 5.2.1 Refer to line 1 (‘Drawn by the noise, the headmaster came to investigate.’).

Mid-term break by 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.
