3、d she try to beat it back? What little word broke from her lips? How did her look change when she said the word several times? A: A feeling of joy suddenly seized her.

10、ock. In the hour after hearing the news she had been feeling so happy and so free that she was not at all prepared for her husbands return. She didnt want to return to the life that she had come to hate so much. Her deep sorrow at the loss of freedom caused her heart failure. We may also say that it

The joy had been so great for her weak heart.Lesson Two In The LaboratoryOral WorkAnswer the questions on the text1. Q: Professor Agassiz had a good impression of Scudder, didnt he?
