The analyses of a text #3
The narrator recalls his childhood; he is now in custody by his stepfather in his room.
He lives with his mother, Peggotty the only maid of his house, his stern stepfather Mr. Murdstone, and Mr. Mudstone's eccentric elder sister in his late father's house.
I never shall forget the waking next morning, the being cheerful and fresh for the first moment, and then the being weighed down by the stale and dismal oppression of remembrance. Miss Murdstone reappeared before I was out of bed, told me, in so many words, that I was free to walk in the garden for half an hour and no longer, and retired, leaving the door open, that I might avail myself of that permission.
I did so, and did so every morning of my imprisonment, which lasted five days.
........................
I was solemnly conducted by jailer, before anyone arose from the devotional posture.
.........................
The length of those five days I can convey no idea of to anyone. They occupy the place of years in my remembrance. The way in which I listened to all the incidents of the house that made themselves audible to me: the ringing of bells, the opening and shutting of doors, ~
[David Copperfield by Charles Dickens]
1. I'd like to know if "for" is implied before "the length of those five days."
2. I'd like to know what role "of" plays.
3. I'd like to know "in" is implied before "the way."
4. And I'd like to know "that" is a subject of "made."
Thank you in advance for your help.
