In summer I rise at six o'clock, and in winter at seven or even later. I knocked at the door, and somebody said, " Come in." Ido not, however, know who it was. At what o'clock did you fall asleep? I was so tired that I could not sleep for a long time. It does not seem to me that you will ever finish your work. Do you remember the name of the gentleman who called here this afternoon? It is raining now, so you had better run home as fast as you can. How far is it from London to York ? Ido not know; so you had better look in your Geography.
