Nice to meet you, native English speakers. Sorry to disturb again. Fortunately, to tell the truth , my query is just related to really three sentence, but all my question, depending on which (which= three sentences above), accidentally adds up to six. 1a. She looked up in surprise. 1b. She looked up with surprise. Which is grammatically correct? Do both have the same meaning? 2a. They couldn't conceal their surprise at seeing us together. 2b. They couldn't conceal their surprise seeing us together. 2c. Seeing us together, they couldn't conceal their surprise. Which is grammatically correct? Do theyhave the same meaning? 3. When a man goes back to look at the house of his childhood, it has always shrunk: there is no instance of such a house being as big as the picture in memory and imagination call for. Question: Is this sentence grammatically correct? I really don't understand how to understand the "the picture in memory and imagination call for" by grammar because the subject "picture" is single , but its verb"call for = (demand)" is plural , I guess the verb "calls for" should have grammatically correct.

I like to write different stories in English. Please correct my mistakes: “A century ago the true magicians were alive. Not quirky oldmen or mad witches. But those magicians looked pretty good and were ordinary. However, they were interested in different mysterious theories and practices. The respected gentleman gathered in their mansions and learnt something strange: ancient papers, spells from forbidden books, medieval legends, mason’s memories. Of course, there were conversations about alchemy and astrology. The participants of those mysterious gatherings were: Oscar Wilde, Aleister Crowley (crazy occultist), William Butler Yeats, Arthur Machen etc. At present, I’m reading “The Great God Pan” by A. Machen. The pagan’s weird elements caused outrage among society.” P.S. I read various literary genres, and I am also interested in the culture and customs of different countries. Therefore, I invite you to my conversation lessons in Ukrainian or Russian.
