But – ‘ ‘He’s the very man, ma’am,’ said one of the villagers, quietly. Conviction breeds conviction. ‘Ay, that’a is’, said a second, decisively. 5 ‘The man, truly!’ said a third, with heartiness. ‘He’s all there!’ said number four, fervidly. Then will you tell him to speak to the bailiff?’ said Bathsheba. All was practical again now. A summer eve and loneliness would have been necessary to give the meeting its proper fulness of romance. The 10 bailiff was pointed out to Gabriel, who, checking the palpitation within his breast at discovering that this Ashtoreth of strange report was only a modification of Venus the well-known and admired, retired with him to talk over the necessary preliminaries of hiring. The fire before them wasted away. ‘Men, said Bathsheba, ‘you shall 15 take a little refreshment after this extra work. Will you come to the house?’ ‘We could knock in a bit and a drop a good deal freer. Miss if so be ye’d send it to Warren’s Malthouse,’ replied the spokesman. Bathsheba then rode off into the darkness, and the men straggled on to 20 the village in twos and threes – Oak and the bailiff being left by the rick alone.

(EC/NOVEMBER 2020] ENGLISH FIRST ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE P2 7 1.2 EXTRACT B [A journey from the market.] He said, slowly – ‘I don’t know.’ The woman, on hearing him speak, quickly looked up, examined the side of his face, and recognized the soldier under the yeoman’s garb. Her face was drawn into an expression which had gladness and agony 5 both among its elements. She uttered a hysterical cry, and fell down. ‘O, poor thing!’ exclaimed Bathsheba, instantly preparing to alight. ‘Stay where you are, and attend to the horse!’ said Troy peremptorily, throwing her the reins and the whip. ‘Walk the horse to the top: I’ll see to the woman.’ 10 ‘But I – ‘Do you hear? Clk – Poppet!’ The horse, gig, and Bathsheba moved on. ‘How on earth did you come here? I thought you were miles away or dead! Why didn’t you write to me?’ said Troy to the woman, in a strangely 15 gentle, yet hurried voice, as he lifted her up. ‘I feared to.’ ‘Have you any money?’ ‘None.’ ‘Good Heaven – I wish I had more to give you! Here’s – wretched – 20 the merest trifle. It is every farthing I have left. I have none but my wife gives me, you know, and I can’t ask her now.

If I cared for your love as much as I used to, I could say people had turned to look at mine.’ ‘Bathsheba, don’t be so fitful and jealous. You knew what married life would be like, and shouldn’t have entered it if you feared these 5 contingencies.’ Troy had by this time driven her to bitterness: her heart was big in her throat, and the ducts to her eyes were painfully full. Ashamed as she was to show emotion, at last she burst out: - “This is all I get for loving you so well! Ah! when I married you 10 your life was dearer to me than my own. I would have died for you – how truly I can say that I would have died for you! And now you sneer at my foolishness in marrying you. O! is it kind to me to throw my mistake in my face? Whatever opinion you may have of my wisdom, you should not tell me of it so mercilessly, now that I am in 15 your power. ‘I can’t help how things fall out,’ said Troy; ’upon my heart, women will be the death of me! ‘Well, you shouldn’t keep people’s hair. You’ll burn it, won’t you, Frank?’ [Chapter 41] 1.3.1 Quote ONE word from line 2 which shows that Bathsheba is really irritated.

(EC/NOVEMBER 2020] ENGLISH FIRST ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE P2 11 1.4 EXTRACT D [Gabriel’s letter.] It broke upon her at length as a great pain that her last old disciple was about to forsake her and flee. He who had believed in her and argued on her side when all the rest of the world was against her, had at last like others become weary and neglectful of the old cause, and was leaving her to fight her battles alone. 5 Three weeks went on, and more evidence of his want of interest in her was forthcoming. She noticed that instead of entering the small parlour or the office where the farm accounts were kept, and waiting, or leaving a memorandum as he had hitherto done during her seclusion, Oak never came at all when she was likely to be there, only entering at unseasonable 10 hours when her presence in that part of the house was least to be expected. Whenever he wanted directions he sent a message, or note with neither heading nor signature, to which she was obliged to reply in the same off- hand style. Poor Bathsheba began to suffer now from the most torturing sting of all – a sensation that she was despised. 15 The autumn wore away gloomily enough amid these melancholy conjectures, and Christmas-day came, completing a year of her legal widowhood, and two years and a quarter of her life alone. [Chapter 56] 1.4.1 In your own words, discuss how Gabriel has been Bathsheba’s old disciple. (2) 1.4.2 Explain why Bathsheba thinks she is forsaken by Gabriel.

Answer questions set on FOUR extracts, i.e. QUESTION 2.1, QUESTION 2.2, QUESTION 2.3 AND QUESTION 2.4. 2.1 EXTRACT E [The shooting inside the mine.] “They’re supposed to catch us. Then they hand us over to the police.” “So it’s same?’ Taiba doesn’t get it. “For me and Aries, also the other boys from home and from Swaziland. And that other one, Zimbabwe?” I didn’t know I could laugh underground. It’s an ugly sound, meant to crush the stupid innocence out of him the way a rock-fall would crush out 5 his life. “Better hope it’s just our guys and men from another syndicate shooting each other. Wena, trust me, you don’t want it to be security. I’ve seen them in action. It doesn’t always work the way it’s supposed to. Anyway, it sounds like the shooting is stopping.” There has been just one shot in the last thirty seconds. Now there 10 are only angry male voices, voices I know from every day down here – our men, with one of them groaning and crying out in pain. I don’t even wonder if anyone is dead. It makes no difference to me. It would only make a difference if another syndicate took over the mine. Or if the security people cleared us out. 15 I used to be like Taiba Nhaca. I also thought there would be an end to the heat and the darkness. For some it does end, almost as soon as it starts. I’m one of the lucky ones.

14 ENGLISH FIRST ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE P2 (EC/NOVEMBER 2020) 2.2 EXTRACT F [The recruits are taken out of the mine.] Only what’s left of the money I’ve been paid stays on my body when we work, in a bag I wear on a cord. The rest of the money due to me will have been given to Papa Mavuso to hold for me, though the men get everything they’ve earned while they’re down here. These younger boys get nothing yet. 5 Mahlori is swearing at us for being too slow. I have to carry Aires again. “This mine has gone bad,” Mahlori tells me as we make our way into wider, higher tunnels. “That shooting yesterday? You heard? Four dead. The security scum took the bodies up and handed them over to 10 the police. Also the men they took alive. Mostly foreign fools. Faceman won’t pay bribes to get them back. Plenty more to take their place, he says. He has gone up to report to the syndicate.” No Faceman. That sounds almost as good as the rattle of sunglasses. 15 The lift cage is the last danger we have to face down here. It hasn’t been officially inspected or repaired since the owning company closed the mine, long before the first illegal zama zamas came and got it working again. Taiba is singing under his breath. He must believe his nightmare is 20 ending. [Chapter 4] 2.2.1 Refer to lines 6–7. (‘I have to carry Aires again’.) Explain why Regile must carry Aires. (2) 2.2.2 Choose the correct answer to complete the following sentence. Write only the letter (A–D) next to the question number (2.2.2) in the ANSWER BOOK.

(3) AND 2.3 EXTRACT G [Regile and Katekani are trying to earn some money.] “See, Regile?” Katekani says, her shrivelled leg swinging as she hauls herself along between her sticks on our way back up to Papa’s. “I’m right. Taiba is right. Good things can happen.” “So didn’t you want to spend your share on something nice?” I ask. “I’m waiting until I’ve got enough.” 5 “For what?” She turns shy. “I don’t want to tell you until I’ve done it.” I lift my shoulders, let them fall. “Can you go faster? Remember what happened with your father last year when we were late that one time?” “I’ll try. And you, Regile? Are you saving for something?” 10 I think about the rubber sandals I bought last time I was out of the mine and couldn’t go home. I took them back into the mine with me, but they were soon lost or stolen. The soles of my feet are hard all over, not like skin anymore. One day when I’m working directly for the syndicate, I want to have 15 proper miners’ boots like Faceman’s. “Just small things I need,” I say vaguely. Soap. Stuff like that.” And deodorant, I think, but I’d feel embarrassed to say it out loud. I’d like to get a girlfriend for while I’m out of the mine, but I need to smell clean and nice for that to happen. 20 [Chapter 7] Copyright reserved Please turn over

Discuss how this theme is relevant to Katekani and Regile. (3) AND 2.4 EXTRACT H [Regile lies to save Katekani.] “You’re soft.” The words have a hissing sound. She has already told me everything that she did. How that boy with his mouth said he must go and find that man Spike Maphosa – because this piece of thrash told him what it said in my newspaper. She helped him.” 5 “I made her,” I say, but I know it’s a mistake changing my story – my lie. “Soft,” he hisses again. “Telling me lies for this ugly, useless girl. When I’ve done so much for you, let you walk free, sent your money into Swaziland for your mother . . .You thank me like this. I can’t trust a liar. From today you don’t touch the shed key. I lock, unlock. You and this 10 rubbish daughter – you only carry the food. You were like my son. You have hurt me. Betrayed me. Like those people betrayed me when I was still soft like you – the mine people and the bank people. This is your last chance here, you understand? That boy with his mouth won’t make it far by himself. He won’t find the way to Spike Maposa in Kabokweni. He’s 15 even more of a foreign fool than you Swazis.

Triumph over the future? Sophiatown was a cancer on 5 a pure white city, moved out at gun point by madmen. With its going, the last common ground is gone. The war has been declared, the battle sides are drawn. Yeoville and Meadowlands, and a wasteland in-between.

Instead, I looked carefully at Lettie when I mentioned Gideon’s name. She didn’t give much away, but I am quick at these things, and I saw enough. The colour that crept into her cheeks. The light that came in her eyes. On my way back I encountered Lettie. She was standing under a thorn- 5 tree. With her brown arms and her sweet, quiet face and her full bosom, she was a very pretty picture. There was no doubt that Lettie Cordier would make a fine wife for any man. It wasn’t hard to understand Gideon’s feelings about her. ‘Lettie,’ I asked, ‘do you love him?’ 10 ‘I love him, Oom Schalk,’ she answered. It was as simple as all that. Lettie guessed I meant Gideon van der Merwe, without my having spoken his name. Accordingly, it was easy for me to acquaint Lettie with what had happened 15 the night before, on the Krantz, in the moonlight. At least, I only told her the parts that mattered to her, such as the way I explained to Gideon where the juba-plant grew. Another man might have wearied her with a long and unnecessary description of the way he fell down the Krantz, clutching the branches and 20 tree-roots. But I am different. I told her that it was Gideon who fell down the Krantz. Copyright reserved Please turn over

She was afraid, but then she had always been afraid. Ever since Nasreen had moved up into secondary school, things had changed. They used to walk together, side by side, friends; but then Nasreen took to going on ahead or dawdling behind her mother. Even the way she walked 5 changed. Instead of the leisurely, shy walk, she now strode, long-legged, looking more like a western girl despite her headscarf and the slacks under her school uniform. On approaching the school gates she would suddenly see her friends and, tossing out the word ‘goodbye’ as if to no one in particular, she would disappear into the school, arms linked and immersed 10 in the sound of gossip and laughter. She never looked back these days. That was when the lump of misery took residence in Mrs Khan’s heart. ‘They are taking her away … taking her away … ‘ She hissed the words out in English, as if someone would hear and understand her fears. She felt a sudden surge of anger as she remembered her English 15 teacher. ‘They? Who’s they?’ Mrs Khan could hear the indifferent voice as Margot Henderson asked the question. ‘They?
