20. Read the following sentences from "The Third Bank of the River."

My father was a dutiful, orderly, straightforward man. And according to several reliable

people of whom I enquired, he had had these qualities since adolescence or even

childhood. By my own recollection, he was neither jollier nor more melancholy than the

other men we knew. Maybe a little quieter.

My father always seemed to be somewhat sad and withdrawn

As far as I knew, my father had always been a loyal family man.

Ever since he was a child, my father was both serious and subdued.
