a) Never before had I been so frightened.
b) Hardly had I reached the corner when I heard the strange sound again.
c) Only later did she realise what had happened.
d) Under no circumstances should you tell this secret to anyone.
2. In the first sentence, the emphasis is on the transparent form of a hooded monk. In the second sentence, the emphasis is on the bed.

- Lying on the floor next to the bed was a broken mirror.
- Sitting at the desk was a pale girl with long hair.
