Emmie

Emmie thought she had nothing to do this night. Then she (remembered) about her sister's present — the DVDs. She looked at the boxes when she took them out of her purse. Each season had eight episodes that were each an hour long. Emmie got the first disc out, and put it in the DVD-player attached to the TV in her room. She could (hardly) wait for the film to start.

The screen sprang to life with the first season of Bedford Castle. She hopped into bed, pulled up the covers, and turned (off) the light as the first episode began. She liked to watch films in the dark. She was (impressed) by the beautiful costumes — all historically accurate — and the incredible décor inside the castle, with enormous paintings and elegant antiques. It had a superb feel to it, with a fleet of servants, and a family (including) all the important actors on the show. Three of them were famous actresses. Several of the men looked familiar to her, even though it was a French production, but she had seen them in movies. It was everything that (appealed) to her in French books and movies. The performance was flawless, and the dialogue brilliantly written. The story was engaging, the characters perfectly defined in their roles as good or bad people. It was a wonderful show. She was in love with the characters, and (fascinated) by the castle and the staff. She felt as though she had been pulled into a different world, where her own life ceased to matter; only theirs did.

A Word of Encouragement
