2 I need not say that I had my own reasons for dreading his coming: but come he did at last.
3 I saw by her look she wished no longer to talk to me, but rather to converse with her own thoughts.
4 My mother said, when she came to see me last week, that she would not like a little one of her own to be in your place.
5 I could make no sense of the subject; my own thoughts swam always between me and the page I had usually found fascinating.
6 Miss Temple got up, took her hand and examined her pulse; then she returned to her own seat: as she resumed it, I heard her sigh low.
7 In her turn, Helen Burns asked me to explain, and I proceeded forthwith to pour out, in my own way, the tale of my sufferings and resentments.
8 Next day new steps were to be taken; my plans could no longer be confined to my own breast; I must impart them in order to achieve their success.
9 In five minutes more the cloud of bewilderment dissolved: I knew quite well that I was in my own bed, and that the red glare was the nursery fire.
