Q: John Fitzgerald "Jack" Kennedy (May 29, 1917 November 22, 1963), commonly referred to by his initials JFK, was an American statesman who served as the 35th President of the United States from January 1961 until his assassination in November 1963. Kennedy served at the height of the Cold War, and much of his presidency focused on managing relations with the Soviet Union. He was a member of the Democratic Party who represented Massachusetts in the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate prior to becoming president.

Kennedy was born in Brookline, Massachusetts, to Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr. and Rose Kennedy. A scion of the Kennedy family, he graduated from Harvard University in 1940 before joining the United States Naval Reserve the following year. During World War II, Kennedy commanded a series of PT boats in the Pacific theater and earned the Navy and Marine Corps Medal for his service. After the war, Kennedy represented Massachusetts's 11th congressional district in the United States House of Representatives from 1947 until 1953. He was subsequently elected to the U.S. Senate and served as the junior Senator from Massachusetts from 1953 until 1960. While serving in the Senate, he published "Profiles in Courage", which won the Pulitzer Prize for Biography. In the 1960 presidential election, Kennedy narrowly defeated Republican opponent Richard Nixon, who was the incumbent Vice President.

Q: CHAPTER XIV.

"My beautiful! my beautiful! that standest meekly by, With thy proudly arch'd and glossy neck, and dark and fiery eye--

"Thus, thus I leap upon thy back, and scour the distant plains: Away! who overtakes me now, shall claim thee for his pains."

_The Arab to his Steed_.

Bulstrode seemed happy to meet me, complaining that I had quite forgotten the satisfaction with which all New York, agreeably to his account of the matter, had received me the past spring. Of course, I thanked him for his civility; and we soon became as good friends as formerly. In a minute or two, Mary Wallace joined us, and we all repaired to the breakfast-table, where we were soon joined by Dirck, who had been detained by some affairs of his own.

Herman Mordaunt and Bulstrode had the conversation principally to themselves for the first few minutes. Mary Wallace was habitually silent; but Anneke, without being loquacious, was sufficiently disposed to converse. This morning, however, she said little beyond what the civilities of the table required from the mistress of the house, and that little in as few words as possible. Once or twice I could not help remarking that her hand remained on the handle of a richly-chased tea-pot, after that hand had performed its office; and that her sweet, deep blue eye was fixed on vacancy, or on some object before her with a vacant regard, in the manner of one that thought intensely. Each time as she recovered from these little _reveries_, a slight flush appeared on her face, and she seemed anxious to conceal the involuntary abstraction. This absence of mind continued until Bulstrode, who had been talking with our host on the subject of the movements of the army, suddenly directed his discourse to me.

Answer the following questions:
1. Who was excited?
2. To see someone?
3. Did they become close again?
4. Who arrives?
5. How long after?
6. What did they do?
7. Then who showed up?
8. Was he on time?
9. Who talked most of the time at first?
10. Anybody else?

12. Who?
13. Was somebody else being quiet?

Q: CHAPTER VIIIVERY MYSTERIOUS

Arthur found Louise developing hysteria, while Beth, Patsy and Helen Hahn were working over her and striving to comfort her. Uncle John, the major and big Runyon stood gazing helplessly at the dolorous scene.

"Well? Well?" cried Mr. Merrick, as Weldon and young Hahn entered. "Any news?"

Arthur shook his head and went to his wife, bending over to kiss her forehead.

"Be brave, dear!" he whispered.

It needed but this tender admonition to send the young mother into new paroxysms.

"See here; we're wasting time," protested Runyon, his voice reaching high C in his excitement. "Something must be done!"

"Of course," cried Patsy, turning from Louise. "We're a lot of ninnies. Let us think what is best to do and map out a logical program."

The others looked at her appealingly, glad to have some one assume command but feeling themselves personally unequal to the task of thinking logically.

"First," said the girl, firmly, "let us face the facts. Baby Jane has mysteriously disappeared, and with her the two nurses."

"Not necessarily with her," objected Rudolph. "Let us say the two nurses have also disappeared. Now, the question is, why?"

A shriek from Louise emphasised the query.

"Don't let's bother with the 'why?'" retorted Patsy. "We don't care why. The vital question is 'where?' All we want, just now, is to find baby and get her back home again to her loving friends. She can't have been gone more than four hoursor five, at the most. Therefore she isn't so far away that an automobile can't overtake her."

Answer the following questions:
1. Who is hysteric?
2. Why?
3. Who was comforting her?
4. Who is her husband?
5. Who was helpless?
6. Anyone else?
