Context:
Of late we had been growing a little discouraged .<br>Aunt Susanna had recently read a magazine article which stated that the higher education of women was ruining our country and that a woman who was a B.A. could n't , in the very nature of things , ever be a housewifely , cookly creature .<br>Consequently , Margaret 's chances looked a little foggy ; but we had n't quite given up hope .<br>A very little thing might sway Aunt Susanna one way or the other , so that we walked very softly and tried to mingle serpents ' wisdom and doves ' harmlessness in practical portions .
Hypothesis: The writer is trying to convince Susanna that University for women is a good idea
It's impossible to say

And I 'm glad for that .<br>But I 'm hungry for a violin all the time .<br>And I only come here when the hunger gets too much to bear .<br>I feel as if I ought n't to come even then -- I 'm always saying I wo n't do it again , because I know grandfather would n't like it , if he knew . ''<br>`` He has never forbidden it , has he ? ''<br>`` No , but that is because he does n't know I come here for that .<br>He never thinks of such a thing .<br>I feel sure he WOULD forbid it , if he knew .<br>And that makes me very wretched .<br>And yet I HAVE to come .
Hypothesis: Grandfather is very understanding.
No
Context:
When we heard of his illness I went over to Woodlands to see him , for I had always been a great favourite with him .<br>The big house was quiet , the servants going about their work as usual , without any appearance of excitement .<br>I was told that I could not see Mr. Lawrence for a little while , as the doctor was with him .<br>Mrs. Yeats , the housekeeper , said the attack was not serious and asked me to wait in the blue parlour , but I preferred to sit down on the steps of the big , arched front door .<br>It was an evening in June .
Hypothesis: Woodlands was out of town.
