Read the passage given below and answer the questions, complete the statements that follow by choosing the appropriate options from the given ones.
Kennedy is a country doctor, and lives in Colebrook, on the shores of Eastbay. A good many years ago, now on my return from abroad, he invited me to stay with him.

She looked quite young. With a distinct catch in her breath, her voice sounded low and timid.
"He's well, thank you."
We trotted again, 'A young patient of yours', I said : and the doctor, flicking he house absently, muttered. 'Her husband used to be'.
