问题     Mr Duffy raised his eyes from the paper and gazed out of his window
on the cheerless evening landscape. The river laid quiet beside the empty (1)______
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)______

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

    When he came to the public house at Chapel Bridge he went in and or
dered a hot punch. [br] (4)
