blond good looks
By keeping to the grassy headlands at the edge of the field, I was able to stay clear of the growing flax as I trudged steadily on upwards. It wasn’t much of a climb for me, but for Rupert, with his leg in an iron brace, it must have been torture.
What on earth would possess the man to climb back up to the top of Gibbet Hill? Did he have some notion of flushing Meg from the dense thickets, and demanding that she hand over Nialla’s butterfly compasct? Or was he in a sulk, threatened by Dieter’s blond good looks?
I could think of a dozen more reasons, yet not one of them made perfect sense.
What’s the meaning of the yellow block?

Mister Micawberfeeling inferiorProbably, your Japanese students have trouble thinking the word “threatened” as “feeling inferior.” Because I guess, like Korean dictionaries, Japanese dictionaries would translate the meaning of “threaten” into “O-Do-Ka-s” (threat). So it’s not easy to catch the meaning as “Wa-ru-bi-re-ru.”(to feel inferior) : Thank you very mu
