Hi!
In the story "A visit to charity", t<u>he line that marks the slowing down in the pace of the story is the following</u>:
"As she walked vaguely up the steps she shifted the small pot from hand to hand; then she had to set it down and remove her mittens before she could open the heavy door."
<u>In literature, the </u><u>pace</u><u> is the speed at which a story is told</u>. In the lines above, we can see how the story is not going fast but instead, the writer takes the time to describe small actions such as the character shifting the pot from one hand to another and setting it down after.
Because the author takes ample time to describe the scenery in this scene, this is considered a slow pace.
There aren't two sentences if you wrote the two sentences I would be able to answer your question.
He had eaten something before going to school.
Hope this helps! :)
