Dictation 1 His appearance was of a boy of about eighteen, but she saw from his record that he was

her own age. He was sitting and watching the mess around him with a kind of innocent wonder. It was difficult to think of him as a naval officer. He had a fine, thin face, a dark beard and light green eyes; his mouth was soft and full. His complexion was pale, with an unusual glow, and the eyes were unhealthily bright. His head was heavily injured. As she brought her heavy chair and sat next to him he laughed. It seemed that he was expecting her, and when she took his hand he was not anxious. He spoke fluent English, which sounded foreign to her. She could barely understand him. His words were vague and puzzling. Your physician invited me to have a little chat with you, she said. His behaviour is very responsible, as always. Is all going well for him?
