The old woman told me the house had been built in 1595 and' this was not hard to believe. The small windows, the uneven floors, the roughly-made doors and an ancient oak desk had obviously all seen the passing of many generations. In fact I learned later that at that desk a certain parson, who lived in the house half a century after it had been built, had written a bad-tempered diary, blaming his and the country's misfortunes on the government, and sorrowing over the passing of the "good old days". The diary reminded me of some present-day letters to The Times, in which all that is present is bad and all that is past is good.
I was fascinated by the great open fireplace, over whose roaring log fire pigs were roasted. It has occurred to me that the parson would have had more to complain about if, instead of a generous helping of roast pork, he had been served with some of the meat we eat today.
The old woman, who was showing me round, seemed almost as ancient as the house. She took little notice of me; I was merely another "gentleman from London" who would look round her beloved house and then decided not to have it because there was no electricity, or no water, or because it was too far to walk from there to the village. But she was wrong. I had decided otherwise.
1. In about what year did the parson live in the house?
2. Why did the writer call the parson's diary "bad-tempered"?
3. What is The Times?
4. What did the writer think would not have pleased the parson if he had lived today?
5. What was the writer doing in the house?
6. What disadvantages of living in an old house are suggested in this piece?
7. In not more than 80 words, describe what you imagine the outside and the garden of this house looked like.

Mr. Priestley Gets a Surprise
TIME: Midnight. Mr. and Mrs. Priestley (and Sally) are sitting by the fire. v
MR. PRIESTLEY: Well, Mary, my students have all gone; and, do you know, I'm quite sorry to lose them.
MRS. PRIESTLEY: I'm sure you are. They are the nicest group of students that you have ever had.
MR. PRIESTLEY: By the way, I had a most embarrassing experience this afternoon. I thought all my students had gone away, and I was just going into my study when I saw that Jan and Frieda were there. Their backs were towards me, and I heard Jan say, "Frieda", and she said, "Jan", and the next moment she was in his arms. It was most embarrassing for me.
MRS. PRIESTLEY: What did you do?
MR. PRIESTLEY: Well, my dear, I didn't quite know what to do, so I just closed the door very quietly and came away on tiptoe.
