Passage IV

The house, for the first year or so, was on the top of a cliff, so that in stormy weather the spray would soak my bed at night, for I had taken the glass out of the window, sash and all. A literary passion for the open air was to last me for a few years. Then for another year or two, we had a house overlooking the harbour where the one great sight was the going and coming of the fishing fleet. We had one regular servant, a fisherman's wife and the occasional help of big, red-faced girl who ate a whole pot a jam while my mother was at church and accused me of it.

The first house mentioned was

A) above a steep rock-face

B) on a high plateau

C) near a swamp          

D) on a mountain slope
