Text. The Clarks
If you want to know about the Clarks, all you have to do is to ask Mrs. Gray, their neighbour, who lives in the house next door to them. And sure enough she will tell you all about them, for instance, that Charles Clark is a quiet man, rather silent and shy, that he is a good listener and often encourages people to speak, that he is not much of a talker himself.
“He spends more time thinking than talking”, says Mrs. Gray. “He is a physicist and they are given to reflection, you know.”

Text. The Clarks House
The Clarks live in a two-storeyed house not far from Hampstead Heath,2 in North West London. The house is a pleasant-looking building that stands off the main road. There is a garden at the back of the house and in front of it bordered by a hedge. The garden is surprisingly small with an apple-tree in the centre, two cherry trees next to it and a tiny lawn under them.Inside the house there is an entrance hall with a carpeted staircase. The door at the end of the hall leads into Clark’s study. Here there is a sofa and a writing table placed against the window. There are a lot of books in the study. Two walls are entirely lined with bookcases. There are a couple of comfortable easy chairs near the fireplace.
