Packet D: Tossup 4

In a novel by this author, the smell of smoke makes a character say that his father has only succeeded in kindling “my ambition.” That protagonist of a novel by this author is frustrated when his grandson pretends to be the Lone Ranger (10[1])instead of his own (10[1])nation’s (10[2])heroes. (10[6]-5[1])In another novel by this (-5[1])author, (10[1])a woman’s claim that there is “no turning back the clock now” makes the protagonist (10[1])realize that “at that moment, my heart was breaking.” The (10[1])protagonist (10[1]-5[1])ends that novel (10[1])by this author by resolving to practice “bantering” (10[3])and hoping (10[2])to (10[2])surprise (10[5])his (10[1])American (10[1])employer, (10[2])Mr. (10[3])Farraday. (10[4])A novel (10[3])by this author (10[3])follows (10[2])a motoring trip to visit Miss Kenton (10[1])by the butler (10[1])Stevens, (10[4])who (10[1])formerly (10[4])served the Nazi (10[2])sympathizer Lord (10[2])Darlington.
