After months of (isolation)
in a mountain cabin, the writer finally booked a train (sleeping space)
to return home. The journey was unexpectedly (causing excitement and happiness)
, and it seemed to (encourage the development of)
new ideas. At the (beginning, establishment)
of her career, her style had been almost (very simple and undeveloped)
, but success had changed her. She sat (with one leg on each side)
a low wall outside a ruined chapel and (discovered by digging up)
old letters hidden in a tin box. Reading them filled her with (strong longing)
for childhood. Nearby, small (mouse-like animals)
darted through the grass as dusk fell.
