Answer:
(i) When Mrs Jordan says it, her
husband calls his father-in law as a drunken old beggar'. Mrs Slater calls it' swindling'
because she has kept father for three years. Mrs Jordan says that she had to
put up with him for five years. Thus, all of them show their regret in their
own way.
(ii) When Laxmi Das told the
postmaster that Ali had died three months before, the postmaster was bewildered.
It was because earlier that morning he had seen All come to him. At that time
he did not know that he was dead and after listening to Laxmi Das, he was sure
that he must have seen All's ghost, which was still waiting for his daughter's
letter.
(iii) This statement reveals
that both Nicola and Jacopo had grown very mature and considerate in earning money.
They were doing all this just to cure their sister from the disease. They had
forgotten them selves and their own desires and were very clear about what they
wanted to do.
(iv) Helen, the ghost had been
helping the narrator write ghost stories because he had been without ideas for his
stories. She went on strike because as a reader on a magazine she had terrible
days. She placed a condition that she would help him if he got all his friends
to stop using Ouija board.
