There, in front of me, stood the House of Usher. And at once – I do (1)
never / not / no / nor
know why – a
strange feeling of (2)
low / full / whole / deep

pushed / swallowed / covered
/ buried

above / like / up / for
at the old house with its (5)
high / tall / long / thin
stone walls and narrow windows. I (6)
saw / looked / watched / turned

the old dying trees, and an (8)

it / them / that / about.
The feeling of gloom was

he had sent me a letter – a sad and terrible letter. He wrote that he was ill, ill in body and
