Help with Punctuation - Part 2
Hi can someone please approve my answer to the following punctuation exercise. My punctuation marks answers are highlighted in red font.
The following is incorrectly punctuated: re-write it correctly:
The best sitting room at Manor Farm was a good long dark-panelled room with a high chimney-piece and a large chimney at the upper end of the room. Seated in a shady bower of holly and evergreens were the two best fiddlers. And the only harp in all Muggleton in all sorts of nooks and on all kinds of brackets. Stood massive older silver candlesticks with four branches each the carpet was up. The candles burnt bright the fire blazed and crackled on the hearth and merry voices and light-hearted laughter. Rang through the room.
