The letter was from my father.

My dear Victor, how can I tell you what has happened? We were all so happy, waiting
for you to come home. I want to prepare you for the 1 ............................................................... news, but it is
impossible.
William is dead! Your sweet little brother has been murdered! Last Thursday, Elizabeth,
William and I went for a walk in Plainpalais. William ran off to play. When it came time
to go home, we called his name, but he did not answer. We searched until it was dark,
but we could not find him. Then Elizabeth said he
2 ............................................................... have gone home. We returned to the house, but he was not there.
We went back to Plainpalais with 3 ............................................................... and servants to help in the search.
About five o’clock in the morning, I found him, dead.
The 4 ............................................................... of the murderer’s fingers were on his neck.
When Elizabeth saw the body, she cried, ‘Oh, God! I have murdered my lovely boy!’ She
told me that she had given William a locket1 on a 5 ............................................................... with a picture of
your mother inside it. The locket is gone. Perhaps the murderer killed William for the
locket.
Come home, dear Victor,! We need you. Do not think of 6 ............................................................... Just come
home to those who love you.
Your father,
Alphonse Frankenstein

family, but when I got close to Geneva I began to feel afraid. I stopped two days at
Lausanne, in a state of nervous 8 ............................................................... . Then the lake and the mountains
calmed me, and I continued my journey.
The sight of Mont Blanc brought tears to my eyes. As I 9 ............................................................... my home
town I became afraid again. it was dark when I arrived, and the city gates were already
closed for the night. I decided to visit the place where William had died and spend the
night in a nearby village. When I got to Plainpalais, there was a 10 ............................................................... I
watched the lightning over Mont Blanc.
11 ............................................................... , in a flash of lightning, I saw a gigantic figure nearby. It was the
monster! Was he the murderer of my little brother? I began to tremble2. In another
flash of lightning I saw him climbing Mont Saléve with amazing speed. He soon reached
the top and 12 ............................................................... .
