At the library

It was early morning. Jason stood in the library at Norwood House, 30 ______ up at the painting above the fireplace. What an extraordinary portrait it was, of a handsome man in the prime of his life. The great Horace Winton. His grandfather. His mother, Horace’s eldest daughter, Laura, had always 31 ______ him that he would grow up to look like her father. She had been proved right.

This painting had been finished just a short time before Horace’s fortieth birthday, and in a few days’ time, he himself would be forty years old. And he was the spitting 32 ______ of his grandfather; six foot four, broad of chest, with red-gold hair and blue eyes. He knew that if Horas Winton could step out of the portrait, come to stand next to him, they would look like twins, so close was their   33 ______.

Jason Casey finally turned away and walked out onto the terrace, headed through the hanging gardens, making for the ruined stronghold. His mother had constantly taken him there as a child, explaining that it had been her father’s favourite spot at Norwood, and 34 ______ hers. She had 35 ______ him up on Winton lore, and most of it had been about his grandfather. Jason knew so much about his grandfather and 36 ______ never meeting him in person.
