Bob and Annie had not known each other long before they became eager to get married:Bob because he wanted Annie and she because she could at least lead a life away from her1_____. When Mrs.Thompson 2_____ that they marry and live with her until they could get a 3 _____ of their own, Annie hesitated. Her idea of 4_____ had been something which 5 _____her a husband and an orderly, well-furnished home all at once. 6_____ she soon saw the 7_____ of this arrangement. She would, first of all, 8_____ from her present life into a house which was quiet and well run, not 9_____ her own; and she would be able to go on walking so that she and Bob could 10____ up all the more quickly for their own house. She would also get Bob, a good enough husband for any working-class 11_____:good-natured and 12_____ to be bent her way whenever it was 13 _____for her ends.
Things went well until her mother-in-law’s 14_____, when Annie had to give up her 15_____ and was at home all day. Her father-in-law became just a 16_____ figure in the house and 17____Bob became used to him, Annie began to find the old man’s constant 18_____in the house a source of growing annoyance(烦恼).
“He gets on my nerves, Bob,” she said. “And he hardly says a word all day.”
“Well, I suppose he has a 19_____ to do as he likes,” Bob said mildly. “It’s his house not ours.” But to Annie, now looking after the house 20_____ it were her own, it was beginning to seem the other way about.
