1.1 EXTRACT A
[John and Stephen Kumalo speak about the crime.]
John Kumalo smiles at his brother. Perhaps I shall need a lawyer, he says.
For one thing, a lawyer can talk to my son in private.
He seems to think, then he says to his brother, You see, my brother, there is no
proof that my son or this other young man was there at all.
Yes, John Kumalo smiles at that, he seems quite recovered. 5
– Not there at all? But my son …
Yes, yes, John Kumalo interrupts him, and smiles at him. Who will believe your
son? he asks.
He says it with meaning, with cruel and pitiless meaning. Kumalo stands bereft,
and the young white man climbs into the car. Kumalo looks to him for guidance, 10
but the young man shrugs his shoulders. Do what you will, he says indifferently.
It is not my work to get lawyers. But if you wish to go back to Sophiatown, I shall
NCS
take you.
Kumalo, made still more nervous by this indifference, stands outside irresolute.
His irresolution seems to anger the young white man, who leans out of the 15
window and speaks loudly:
– It is not my work to get lawyers, he says. It is my work to reform, to help, to
uplift.
With his hand he makes an angry gesture of uplifting, and then draws back his
head into the car and makes as if to start.

1.2
EXTRACT B
[Jarvis reads one of his son's articles.]
Shocked and hurt, Jarvis put down the papers. For a moment he felt
something almost like anger, but he wiped his eyes with his fingers and shook it
from him. But he was trembling and could read no further. He stood up and put
on his hat, and went down the stairs and as far as the stain on the floor. The
policeman was ready to salute him, but he turned again, and went up the stairs, 5
and sat down again at the table. He took up the papers and read them through
to the end. Perhaps he was some judge of words after all, for the closing
paragraphs moved him. Perhaps he was some judge of ideas after all.
Therefore I shall devote myself, my time, my energy, my talents, to the
service of South Africa. I shall no longer ask myself if this or that is
expedient, but only if it is right. I shall do this, not because I am noble or 10
unselfish, but because life slips away, and because I need for the rest of
my journey a star that will not play false to me, a compass that will not lie. I
shall do this, not because I am a negrophile and a hater of my own, but
because I cannot find it in me to do anything else.

A changes places.

QUESTION 2.2.
2.1 EXTRACT C
[Mr Utterson and Dr Jekyll discuss Mr Hyde.]
'I burned it,' replied Jekyll, 'before I thought what I was about. But it bore no
postmark. The note was handed in.'
'Shall I keep this and sleep upon it?' asked Utterson.
'I wish you to judge for me entirely,' was the reply. 'I have lost confidence
in myself.' 5
'Well, I shall consider,' returned the lawyer. ─ 'And now one word more: it was
Hyde who dictated the terms in your will about that disappearance?'
The doctor seemed seized with a qualm of faintness; he shut his mouth tight and
nodded.
'I knew it,' said Utterson. 'He meant to murder you. You have had a fine 10
escape.'
'I have had what is far more to the purpose,' returned the doctor solemnly: 'I have
had a lesson – O God, Utterson, what a lesson I have had!' And he covered his
face for a moment with his hands.
On his way out, the lawyer stopped and had a word or two with Poole. 'By 15
the by,' said he, 'there was a letter handed in to-day: what was the messenger
like?' But Poole was positive nothing had come except by post; 'and only circulars
by that,' he added.
This news sent off the visitor with his fears renewed.

2.2 EXTRACT D
[Dr Lanyon relates his meeting with Mr Hyde.]
'Have you got it? He cried. 'Have you got it?' and so lively was his
impatience that he even laid his hand upon my arm and sought to shake me.
I put him back, conscious at his touch of a certain icy pang along my
blood. 'Come, sir,' said I. 'You forget that I have not yet the pleasure of your
acquaintance. Be seated, if you please.' And I showed him an example, and 5
sat down myself in my customary seat and with as fair an imitation of my
ordinary manner to a patient as the lateness of the hour, the nature of my
pre-occupation, and the horror I had of my visitor, would suffer me to muster.
'I beg your pardon, Dr Lanyon,' he replied civilly enough. 'What you say
is very well founded; and my impatience has shown its heels to my politeness. 10
I come here at the instance of your colleague, Dr Henry Jekyll, on a piece of
business of some moment; and I understood …' he paused and put his hand
to his throat, and I could see, in spite of his collected manner, that he was
wrestling against the approaches of the hysteria – 'I understood, a drawer …'

4.1 EXTRACT G
[Isabel talks about Brakwater]
ISABEL: I’ve actually been into it quite a few times. With my mom to
visit Auntie, our maid, when she was sick. And with my dad
when he had to take emergency medicine to the clinic. I can
remember one visit, just sitting in the car and staring out of the
window trying to imagine what it would be like to live my whole 5
life in one of those little pondoks. No electricity, no running
water. No privacy! Auntie’s little house has only got two small
rooms and nine of them sleep there. I ended up being damn
glad that I was born with a white skin.
But don’t get the wrong idea. I’m not saying I’ve spent a lot 10
of time thinking about it seriously or anything like that.
It’s just been there, you know, on the edge of my life, the
Way it is out there on the edge of town. So, when Miss
Brockway, our principal, called me in and told me that the black
school had started a debating society and had invited us over 15
for a debate, I didn’t have any objections. She said it was a
chance for a “pioneering intellectual exchange” between the
two schools. She also said she had checked with the police,
and they had said it would be all right provided we were driven
straight to the school and then straight out afterwards. 20

EXTRACT 1
[Michael questions Salome about the father of her child.]
In their two-room apartment in Sophiatown Michael was again

nagging his sister about the one thing that was eating into his peace of
mind.
‘You keep stalling, dodging me, but do you think it is really in the
best interests of the child that you hide its name? After all, I’ve been 5
thinking of getting married myself … sometimes soon …’ and his voice
trailed off.
‘Don’t worry, Mike,’ Salome said. I’ve the child’s true interest at
heart. But there are times when there is good reason for doing the
obvious thing. I assure you the child’s father is an honourable man. That 10
is all I can say for the moment. You must trust me.’
Michael looked into the fire in the stove, his mouth twisted into a
Strained grimace of concentrated thinking.
‘I still don’t like it, ‘he said at length. ‘What about you, what about
Your future? However romantic, I don’t like the picture of a man who 15
will not stand up for his responsibilities.’
‘You don’t understand.’ And she began to hum one of those catchy
songs that fill the streets of Sophiatown now and then for a brief spell.
Michael felt beaten again. He was always beaten in this game. The
trouble was that he had full confidence in his sister’s intelligence. But 20
this, she was right, he could not understand. He remembered something
he had heard somewhere: ‘A woman in love is operating at the lowest
level of intellect.’ He went out.

EXTRACT J
[Eveline plans to escape from her home.]
She had consented to go away, to leave her home. Was that wise? She
tried to weigh each side of the question. In her home anyway she had
shelter and food; she had those whom she had known all her life about
her. Of course she had to work hard, both in the house and at business.
What would they say of her in the stores when they found out that she 5
had run away with a fellow? Say she was a fool, perhaps; and her place
would be filled up by advertisement. Miss Gavan would be glad. She
had always had an edge on her, especially whenever there were people
listening.
-Miss Hill, don’t you see these ladies are waiting? 10
-Look lively, Miss Hill, please.
She would not cry may tears at leaving the stores.
But in her new home, in a distant unknown country, it would not be
