I have always
admired people like artists, writers and composers (1) ________ being able to
work (2) ________ their own, with no one else around. Most (3) ________ my
friends all work with other people in shops and so on, and they tell me that
they (4) ________ never get (5) ________ done if they worked alone. I´m not
sure that all artists and writers do, either. I (6) ________ born in a small
village in the country (7) ________ everyone knew everyone else: that is, they
knew everyone except a writer who kept himself to himself. (8) ________ the
time I was old (9) ________ to learn people´s names, he (10) ________ lived in the village (11) ________ at least twenty years, but the villagers
still regarded him as a stranger! Every morning he (12) ________ walk down to
the local shops (13) ________ do his shopping, and although he (14) ________ greeting everyone he met, only two or three would return his greeting. Just
occasionally, someone (15) ________ feel curious enough to ask him what he (16)

visited his house, either, I remember once (18) ________ up to the house with
three or four boys to see (19) ________ we could see what he did. We crept up
to the window trembling and looked in, expecting to see our writer typing
furiously at his desk. Instead, he was sitting in an armchair (20) ________ a
paper.
