Some details that the text show that the excerpt was written in the past and not the present is, the story uses a lot of had and was which could be a huge clue that the text was written in the past sense its using past tense vocabulary. for example, in the excerpt it talks about how the children had a kind and merry housemaid. If it was present tense then the sentence would be, they have a kind and merry housemaid because it would mean that the house maid is with them right now and if it was future tense then it would be they will have a kind and merry housemaid because they don't have the maid yet and you would be using future tense words to indicate it hasn't happened yet. I hope this makes sense and helps.

One of the most interesting facts about music is that it can make any sound you want. The way that music inspired me to become an artist is finding the right sound and sticking with it.
Without music, people wouldn't know the sounds of different cultures around the world, so even if you might not like music you still hear it in everyday life.
But since early 1800's people got really inspired by music and it's now a worldwide culture.
Each country has their own instruments for example in Latin America and Spain is maracas, now Maracas is a object with things inside that makes the sounds.
Music is great.
