Задание2 Christmas is a time of magic events.
1) Did Jack Darent like Varley Grange? (reading for the main idea)

I met Jack Darent on December the 23rd when everyone was going away for the holiday.
"I'm going hunting. We're going to stay in Varley Grange." "Varley Grange?" I said. "Oh no, Jack. You shouldn't go there." "Why not?" he asked.
"I've heard ... uncomfortable things about that house," I said. Varley Grange was an old house in Westernshire. Dennis Varley's ghost walked around the house. A week later I saw Jack again.
"Well, Jack, how was the shooting?" From his white face I saw that all was not well.
"I understand now what you were saying then," he began. "I saw everything," he said. "We all left London together. The next day we went shooting. After dinner we were drinking coffee and telling sto¬ries about hunting, when one of us shouted and pointed (указал) up to the top (верх) of the stairs (лестница). We all looked round and there was a man. He was looking down at us." "How was he dressed?" I asked.
"He was wearing black clothes, and his face was white and thin and he had a long beard (борода) and terrible eyes (глаза). Не .looked like a dead (мертвый) man."
(from "The Dead Man of Varley Grange" (Anonymous, 1878)
