does " worships the ground she treads on "here has any special meaning? "Ruby Gillis thinks of nothing but beaus," said Anne disdainfully. "She's actually delighted when anyone writes her name up in a take-notice for all she pretends to be so mad. But I'm afraid that is an uncharitable speech. Mrs. Allan says we should never make uncharitable speeches; but they do slip out so often before you think, don't they? I simply can't talk about Josie Pye without making an uncharitable speech, so I never mention her at all. You may have noticed that. I'm trying to be as much like Mrs. Allan as I possibly can, for I think she's perfect. Mr. Allan thinks so too. Mrs. Lynde says he just worships the ground she treads on and she doesn't really think it right for a minister to set his affections so much on a mortal being. But then, Diana, even ministers are human and have their besetting sins just like everybody else. I had such an interesting talk with Mrs. Allan about besetting sins last Sunday afternoon.

what does "storm relief chamber"mean? He turned right, plodded through a storm relief chamber, and made his way along one of the oldest tunnels close to Waterloo Bridge. You could tell how old it was with the brickwork being so neat and careful. No one made bricks like that nowadays.

what does "but it belonged"here mean? The Plodger liked his job. He didn't mind the smell of the sewage; it was a natural smell, nothing fancy about it, but it belonged. He liked the long dark tunnels, and the quiet, and the clever way the water-courses joined each other and branched out. He could tell exactly where he was - under which street or square or park - just from the way the pipes ran. It was a good feeling knowing he could walk along twenty feet under Piccadilly Circus and not be bothered by the traffic and the hooting and the silly people trying to cross the road.

what does "lifts were bust"here mean? elevator failures? Because as the years passed and newspapers were washed up on the shore or refugees came through the gump with stories of the World Above, the Islanders became more and more determined to be left alone. Of course they knew that some modern inventions were good, like electric blankets to keep people's feet warm in bed or fluoride to stop their teeth from rotting, but there were other things they didn't like at all, like nuclear weapons or tower blocks at the tops of which old ladies shivered and shook because the lifts were bust, or battery hens stuffed two in a cage. And they dreaded being dis¬covered by passing ships or aeroplanes flying too low.

what does " the Queen's Silver Jubilee"here mean? No one uses the platform now. They have built newer, smarter platforms with rows of shiny luggage trolleys and slot machines that actually work and television screens which show you how late your train is going to be. But platform thirteen is different. The clock has stopped; spiders have spun their webs across the cloakroom door. There's a Left Luggage Office with a notice saying NOT IN USE and inside it is an umbrella covered in mould which a lady left on the 5.25 from Doncaster the year of the Queen's Silver Jubilee. The chocolate machines are rusty and lopsided and if you were foolish enough to put your money in one it would make a noise like 'Harrumph' and swallow it, and you could wait the rest of your life for the chocolate to come out.does " the Queen's Silver Jubilee"here=the Queen's 25th wedding anniversary? or =25 anniversary of the coronation2. does "5:25"here= No. 525 train or does it mean “”the train arrives at 5:25“？

does "the old Gentlemen's Cloakroom"=lavatory, or does it =coatroom They would have known that every country has its own gump and that in Great Britain the gump was in a place called the Hill of the Cross of Kings not far from the River Thames. And the wise children, the ones that read the old stories and listened to the old tales, would have known more than that. They would have known that this particular gump opened for exactly nine days every nine years, and not one second longer, and that it was no good changing your mind about coming or going because nothing would open the door once the time was up. But the children forgot everyone forgot ——and perhaps you can't blame them, yet the gump is still there. It is under platform thirteen of King's Cross railway station, and the secret door is behind the wall of the old Gentlemen's Cloakroom with its flappy posters saying 'Trains Get You There' and its chipped wooden benches and the dirty ashtrays in which the old gentlemen used to stub out their smelly cigarettes.this extract comes from "the secret of platform 13"by eva ibbotson

what does "a husband was enough responsibility"here mean? "Well, I don't know." Anne looked thoughtful. "I read in a book once that a rose by any other name would smell as sweet, but I've never been able to believe it. I don't believe a rose WOULD be as nice if it was called a thistle or a skunk cabbage. I suppose my father could have been a good man even if he had been called Jedediah; but I'm sure it would have been a cross. Well, my mother was a teacher in the High school, too, but when she married father she gave up teaching, of course. A husband was enough responsibility. Mrs. Thomas said that they were a pair of babies and as poor as church mice.this passage is taken from "anne of green gables"does it mean "for a woman, take care of a husband is an enough responsibility"?or does it mean "a husband should take the responsibility"？

what does "across glimpses of "here mean? does it mean those white birds across the sky quickly? It was broad daylight when Anne awoke and sat up in bed, staring confusedly at the window through which a flood of cheery sunshine was pouring and outside of which something white and feathery waved across glimpses of blue sky.

what does " pining her heart away"here mean? her lameness became more confirmed as tiem went on, and she seldom or never left the house in the long southern thoroughfare, where she seemed to be pining her heart away. ‘Why mayn’t I say to Sam that I’ll marry him? Why mayn’t I?’ she would murmur plaintively to herself when nobody was near.
