            He mused.

 

graft   v. p74 fix (skin) fro one part of the body onto another part.

 

distinct   a. p75 clear, easily seen or noticed.

 

tweed  n. p76 a woollen cloth with a rugh surface.

 

wince   v. shrink or start back in parin. etc. flinch.

            Her singing made me wince.

 

 

Also I have learned some beautiful sentence from the reading

 

1 Chiron's expression darkened.   p78

 

2 I would urge you to put that out of your mind. p78

 

3 I decided to drop the subjects.

 

4 Seven seemed to be made of solid gold, which gleamed so much in the sunlight it was almost impossible to look at.

 

 

 

Here is a summary for :

What's this part talking about?
