Chafing at custom's chain;
Again from its brumal sleep
Wakens the ferine strain."Buck did not read the newspapers, or he would have known that trouble was
brewing, not alone for himself, but for every tide- water dog, strong of muscle
and with warm, long hair, from Puget Sound to San Diego. Because men,
groping in the Arctic darkness, had found a yellow metal, and because
steamship and transportation companies were booming the find, thousands of
men were rushing into the Northland. These men wanted dogs, and the dogs
they wanted were heavy dogs, with strong muscles by which to toil, and furry
coats to protect them from the frost.
Buck lived at a big house in the sun-kissed Santa Clara Valley. Judge Miller's
place, it was called. It stood back from the road, half hidden among the trees,
through which glimpses could be caught of the wide cool veranda that ran
around its four sides. The house was approached by gravelled driveways which- даны синонимы и антонимы для слов:booming: (adj) thriving, roaring,

By using a running thesaurus at the bottom of each page, this edition of Emma by Jane Austen was edited for students who are actively building their vocabularies in anticipation of taking PSAT, SAT, AP (Advanced Placement), GRE, LSAT, GMAT or similar examinations.
Webster’s edition of this classic is organized to expose the reader to a maximum number of synonyms and antonyms for difficult and often ambiguous English words that are encountered in other works of literature, conversation, or academic examinations. Extremely rare or idiosyncratic words and expressions are given lower priority in the notes compared to words which are difficult, and often encountered in examinations. Rather than supply a single synonym, many are provided for a variety of meanings, allowing readers to better grasp the ambiguity of the English language, and avoid using the notes as a pure crutch. Having the reader decipher a word’s meaning within context serves to improve vocabulary retention and understanding. Each page covers words not already highlighted on previous pages. If a difficult word is not noted on a page, chances are that it has been highlighted on a previous page. A more complete thesaurus is supplied at the end of the book; Synonyms and antonyms are extracted from Webster’s Online Dictionary.
