Greetings !
I hope that you are taking the opportunity of extra time on your hands to read - your "Reader's Digest" !
Well, let's get along and do another two Reference to Context
Reference to Context No.3
Catherine : "You are a barbarian at heart still, Paul. I hope you behaved yourself before all those Russian officers."
Petkoff : "I did my best. I took care to let them know that we have a library."

I have particularly used some uncommon words - this is a reminder to you that you need to read and increase your vocabulary.
You also need to practice writing good grammatically correct english - and don't forget good handwriting !
All the best !
