English _S6_02/5RP SUGLES 20202 Text for Section A, an extract from ‘Flambards’ by K. M. Peyton. Christina Parsons, a teenage orphan, has been sent to live with her Uncle Russell. The house is called Flambards. In this text, Christina arrives at Flambards to find that her cousin William has been in an accident. ‘This is Flambards, miss.’ Some big chestnut trees lined the long drive: a great heap of rotted leaves lay tumbled below, with burst conkers” all over the gravel, their shells shrivelled like little brown oranges. The man stopped the horse in front of the door, and helped Christina down. Nobody seemed to be waiting for her. ‘VI’ carry your trunk into the hall, miss. Go in. The door will be open.’ Christina crossed the porch which was full of muddy boots, and anxiously pushed opened the door. She found herself in a big, cold hall. A thin, worn looking woman, obviously a servant, was coming through a doorway on one side to greet her, and in the doorway on the other side a man on crutches appeared suddenly, giving Christina a start. ‘Is it William?’ he said. Seeing Christina, he added, ‘Oh, no, it's you.” ‘It's Miss Christina, sir’ said the woman. “Yes, well — see to her,’ the man said shortly — very rudely, Christina thought. She looked at him curiously, having heard so much of Uncle Russell, and found him not unlike she had imagined: a big, but shrunken-looking man, with heavy shoulders and long, spindly legs, he was wrinkled, with a flattened, broken nose and very fierce eyes. | shall keep out of his way, she thought, but said politely, ‘How do you do, Uncle’, but he took no notice. ‘Tell me when William comes,’ Russell said to the woman, but the man, coming in with Christina's trunk said, ‘The carriage is coming up the drive now, sir, and Dr Porter's right behind.’ Through the open door the scrunch of several lots of hooves could be heard. The woman said quickly to Christina, ‘I'll see you in a minute, miss. Everything’s happening at once, Mister William’s had an accident.’ Christina shrank back as everyone went to the door. The thin-faced servant turned and said, ‘Come along, I'll show you to your room.’ She pointed down the corridor, ‘That's your room. Last door on the left.’ Christina walked down the corridor and opened the door.

The wallpaper, a close design of pink and brown flowers was faded, the washstand china was chipped, and the patchwork quilt all coming apart. The general effect, though, was pretty and homely, with a big window looking out over the garden. There was plenty of furniture, a big wardrobe, a dressing table and a carpet on the floor. Her trunk 35 stood at the foot of the bed. She opened it and started to put her things away, leaving out a navy blue dress to change into for dinner. She did not fancy going down to Uncle Russell. She took as long as she could about washing and changing. and became painfully aware that she was very hungry indeed. She had no alternative but to go downstairs. 40 Glossary a conker: a kind of aut
