Read the following extract and answer the questions that follow:

‘Justice’ was done, and the President of the Immortals , in Aeschylean phrase, had ended his

thus a long time, absolutely motionless; the flag continued to wave silently. As soon as they

had enough strength they arose, joined hands again, and went on.

‐‐Thomas Hardy, Tess of the D’Urbervilles
