1) What raised the speaker's spirit?2) Why do you think Anil kept mum despite his knowledge that the speaker had robbed him?
(The Thief's Story- Supplementary- Footprints without Feet)
Background of passage- The speaker has stolen money from Anil but returned it to its original spot due to guilt. It became wet because of the rain.
Passage for reference-
I awoke late next morning to find that Anil had already made the tea. He stretched out his hand towards me. There was a fifty-rupee note between his fingers. My heart sank. I thought I had been discovered.
“I made some money yesterday,” he explained. “Now you’ll be paid regularly.”
My spirits rose. But when I took the note, I saw it was still wet from the night’s rain.
“Today we’ll start writing sentences,” he said.
He knew. But neither his lips nor his eyes showed anything. I smiled
at Anil in my most appealing way. And the smile came by itself, without
any effort.
