My second visit

It was my second visit to Dr Boxer. He answered the door exactly as he had done the first time, by opening only a crack and looking through it warily, as if there were something that he was 32 ______ not everyone should see. He 33 ______ me of a gatekeeper in a fairy story: ageless and watchful. It was a feeling I would come to know well in the next months. Even now, years later and far away, sometimes in my dreams, I find myself standing before that white door, 34 ______ for him to open it. When he 35 ______ it was me, he opened the door slightly wider than he had done the first time. He let me in.

It was a beautiful room, not an office at all, and much bigger than it looked from outside – airy and white, with a high ceiling and two windows. In the corner, near a low bookshelf, was a big round table with teapots and Greek books, and there were flowers everywhere. I was surprised and 36 ______ at the same time. Everywhere I looked, there was something beautiful – Oriental carpets, tiny paintings and white vases with flowers. He sat in an armchair by the window and said, “I 37 ______ you’ve come about the Greek class.”

“Yes.”

“It’s rather late in the term,” he said. “Young people often find Greek a bore, which is not to say that it isn’t good for them.”

“I’d like to study it again. It seems a shame to 38 ______ it after two years”.

After a moment Dr Boxer said slowly, “If you’d like, I’d be happy to take you as a pupil, Mr Brown.”
