distillery and from time to time a light appeared in some house on Lucan
Road. What an end! The whole narration of her death revolted him and it re- (2)______

monplace vulgar death attacked his stomach. Not had she degraded herself, (4)______
she had degraded him. His soul’s companion! He thought of the hobbling
wretches whom he had seen carrying cans and bottles to be filled by the bar
man. Just God, what an end! Evidently she had been unfitful to live, without (5)______
any strength of purpose, an easy prey of habits, one of the wrecks on which (6)______
civilization has been reared. But that she could have sunk so low! Was it

outburst of that night and interpreted it in a harsh sense than he had ever (7)______
done. He had no difficulty now in approving to the course he had taken. (8)______

    The cold air had met him on the threshold; it crept into the sleeves of his coat. (10)______
    When he came to the public house at Chapel Bridge he went in and or
dered a hot punch. [br] (7)
