I mounted into the window-seat: gathering up my feet, I sat cross-legged, like a Turk; and, having drawn the red moreen curtain nearly close, I was shrined in double retirement.
Folds of scarlet drapery shut in my view to the right hand; to the left were the clear panes of glass, protecting, but not separating me from the drear November day. At intervals, while turning over the leaves of my book, I studied the aspect of that winter afternoon. Afar, it offered a pale blank of mist and cloud; near a scene of wet lawn and storm-beat shrub, with ceaseless rain sweeping away wildly before a long and lamentable blast.
I returned to my book--Bewick's History of British Birds: the letterpress thereof I cared little for, generally speaking; and yet there were certain introductory pages that, child as I was, I could not pass quite as a blank.

12. Text in simple past
Sally left home when she was 18.
She didn’t want to go to university, so
she went to work in a book shop in
London. One day, a customer came to the
store. His name was Bill. He liked Sally, and asked her out. They went out to
dinner and had a nice time. Bill told Sally that he worked in
a bank in the financial district. Sally liked Bill, too. She smiled and said that
she hoped she would see
him again.
Nobody is sure how it happened,
but Sally and Bill fell hopelessly in
love, and ended up getting married. They moved into a small flat together, and paid incredibly high rent for a few years, until
Sally announced that she was pregnant. Bill asked for
a loan from the bank so they could buy a
nicer flat in a friendlier neighborhood outside London, and a few months later
Sally had her baby. They named the baby Andrea.
Like most Europeans in the year 2005, they were very happy
