Прочитайте текст. Какое из утверждений в каждой паре, приведённой ниже, соответствует данному тексту? There was one thing I found rather strange on my first day as a housekeeper at Monk's House. The floors in the house were very thin. The bathroom was directly above the kitchen and when Mrs. Woolf was having her bath before breakfast, I could hear her talking to herself. On and on she went, talk, talk, talk, asking questions and giving herself the answers. I thought there must be two or three people up there with her. When Mr. Woolf saw that I looked surprised he told me that Mrs. Woolf always said the sentences out loud that she had written during the night. She needed to know if they sounded right, and the bath was a good place for trying them out.
I was hot allowed to make coffee at Monk's House. Mr. and Mrs. Woolf were very particular about coffee and always made it themselves, so Mr. Woolf came into the kitchen at eight o'clock every morning to make it. When we carried the breakfast trays to Mrs. Woolf's room I noticed she had always been working during the night. There were pencils and paper beside her bed so that when she woke up she could work, and sometimes it seemed as though she had had very little sleep.
Mrs. Woolf's bedroom was outside the house in the garden; I used to think how inconvenient it must be to have to go out in the rain to go to bed. Her bedroom had been added on to the back of the house; the door faced the garden and a window at the side opened out on to a field.
I can always remember her coming to the house each day from the writing-room, when I rang the bell for lunch at one o’clock she used to walked down the garden smoking one of her favourite cigarettes in a long holder. She was tall and thin and very graceful. She had large, deep-set eyes and wide curving mouth – I think perhaps it was this that made her face particularly beautiful. She wore long skirts – usually blue or brown – in the fashion of the day, and silk jackets of the same colour.
Mrs. Woolf wore clothes that suited her well. I pressed them for her and did any sewing that was necessary — she was not able to sew, although sometimes she liked to try. There was one thing in the kitchen that Mrs. Woolf was very good at doing; she could make beautiful bread. I was surprised how complicated it was and how exactly Mrs. Woolf carried it out. She returned three or four times in a morning to work at it.
