"36. 1) off 2) down 3) away 4) aside     The Garden Party     They could not have had a more perfect day for a garden party if they had ordered it. Only the blue was veiled with a haze of light gold, as it is sometimes in early summer. The gardener had been up since 30_________, mowing the lawns and sweeping them. As for the roses, you could not help feeling they understood that roses are the only flowers that impress people at garden parties, the only flowers that everybody is certain to know. Breakfast was not yet over before the men came to put 31_________ the tent.   ‘Where do you want the tent put, mother?’ asked Laura. ‘My dear child, it’s no use asking me,’ replied her mother. ‘I’m 32_________ to leave everything to my children this year. Forget I am your mother and treat me as an honoured guest.’ Her sister Meg could not 33__________ go and supervise the men. She had washed her hair before breakfast, and she sat drinking her coffee in a green turban, with a dark wet curl stamped on each cheek.   So Laura flew away, still holding her piece of bread and butter. It’s so delicious to have an 34_________ for eating out of doors, and besides, she loved having to arrange things. She always felt she could do it so much better than anybody else.   Four men in their shirt sleeves stood grouped together on the garden path. They carried staves covered with rolls of canvas, and they had big 35________ bags slung on their backs. They looked impressive. Laura wished now that she had not got the bread and butter, but there was nowhere to put it, and she couldn’t throw it 36_________. She blushed and tried to look severe as she came up to them."
