Directions for Reading.--Mark the _inflection_ of the following
questions.
Where do you live?
Is your name Harry or John?
Why are you begging?
Do you wish to walk?
In such a question as the last one, if _emphasis_ be given in turn to
the words _you, wish, walk_, the answer might still be _yes_ or
_no_; and yet the meaning of the answer would be different in each
case.
Do _you_ wish to walk? Yes, I do.
Do you _wish_ to walk? No, I do not _wish_ to walk; but suppose I
must.
Do you wish to _walk?_ No, I would rather _ride_.

Language Lesson.--Let pupils write a letter to some friend, using the
last paragraph of the lesson as a subject.
