Question 6 options:

"There was not much that was ahead of him,
And there was nothing in the town below—
Where strangers would have shut the many doors
That many friends had opened long ago."


"Then, as a mother lays her sleeping child
Down tenderly, fearing it may awake,
He sat the jug down slowly at his fee"


" 'Well, Mr. Flood, we have not met like this
In a long time; and many a change has come
To both of us, I fear, since last it was
We had a drop together. Welcome home!' ”


"Convivially returning with himself,
Again he raised the jug up to the light;"
