In this excerpt from emmuska orczy's novel the scarlet pimpernel, which line best represents an element of historical fiction? there he stood, mine worthy host, firm and well set up on his limbs, smoking his long churchwarden and caring nothing for nobody at home, and despising everybody abroad. "he wore the typical scarlet waistcoat, with shiny brass buttons, the corduroy breeches, and grey worsted stockings and smart buckled shoes, that characterised every self-respecting innkeeper in great britain in these days" —and while pretty, motherless sally had need of four pairs of brown hands to do all the work that fell on her shapely shoulders, worthy jellyband discussed the affairs of nations with his most privileged guests. the coffee-room indeed, lighted by two well-polished lamps, which hung from the raftered ceiling, looked cheerful and cosy in the extreme. through the dense clouds of tobacco smoke that hung about in every corner, the faces of mr. jellyband's customers appeared red and pleasant to look at, and on good terms with themselves, their host and all the world; "from every side of the room loud guffaws accompanied pleasant, if not highly intellectual, conversation—while sally's repeated giggles testified to the good use mr. harry waite was making of the short time she seemed inclined to spare him." ". . they were mostly fisher-folk who patronised mr. jellyband's coffee-room, but fishermen are known to be very thirsty people; the salt which they breathe in, when they are on the sea, accounts for their parched throats when on shore, but "the fisherman's rest" was something more than a rendezvous for these humble folk." the london and dover coach started from the hostel daily, and passengers who had come across the channel, and those who started for the "grand tour," all became acquainted with mr. jellyband, his french wines and his home-brewed ales.

One element of lyric poetry is personal reflection. which lines in this poem most clearly illustrate that element? i wandered lonely as a cloudby william wordsworthi wandered lonely as a cloudthat floats on high o'er vales and hills, when all at once i saw a crowd, a host, of golden daffodils; beside the lake, beneath the trees, fluttering and dancing in the breeze. continuous as the stars that shineand twinkle on the milky way. they stretched in never-ending linealong the margin of a bay: ten thousand saw i at a glance, tossing their heads in sprightly dance. the waves beside them danced; but theyout-did the sparkling waves in glee: a poet could not but be gay. in such a jocund company: i gazed and gazed—but little thoughtwhat wealth the show to me had brought: for oft, when on my couch i liein vacant or in pensive mood, they flash upon that inward eyewhich is the bliss of solitude; and then my heart with pleasure fills, and dances with the daffodils.
