In the centre of the room, clamped to an upright easel, stood the full-length portrait

of a young man of _____ (ORDINARY) personal beauty, and in front of it, some little
_____ (DISTANT) away, was sitting the artist himself, Basil Hallward, whose sudden
_____ (APPEAR) some years ago caused, at the time, such public _____ (EXCITE), and
gave rise to so many strange conjectures. As the painter looked at the _____
(GRACE) and comely form he had so _____ (SKILL) mirrored in his art, a smile of
______ (PLEASE) passed across his face, and seemed about to linger there. But he
_____ (SUDDEN) started up, and, closing his eyes, placed his fingers upon the lids, as
though he sought to _____ (PRISON) within his brain some curious dream from which
he feared he might _____ (WAKE).

It is simply this. That Space, as our ______ (MATH) have it, is spoken of as having
three dimensions, which one may call ______ (LONG), Breadth, and _ ______ (THICK),
and is always definable by ______ (REFER) to three planes, each at right angles to
the others. But some philosophical people have been asking why THREE dimensions
_ ______ (PARTICULAR) - why not another direction at right angles to the other
three?--and have even tried to construct a Four-Dimension geometry. Professor
Simon Newcomb was expounding this to the New York Mathematical Society only a
month or so ago. You know how on a flat surface, which has only two dimensions,
we can represent a figure of a three _ ______ (DIMENSION) solid, and __ ______
(SIMILAR) they think that by models of thee dimensions they could represent one of
four--if they could master the __ ______ (PERCEIVE) of the thing. See?
