Answers
Answer:
The entire novel is replete with humour. The packing scene is no exception. The author's description of the bag packing scene is quite humorous. As Harris, George, and he are about to begin packing, he volunteers the packing himself. What he had meant was superintending while Harris and George did the actual packing. However he did the packing with great difficulty. He finished it at 10:05. He had hardly finished packing when he was reminded to pack his boots too. He again had to open up the bag to pack his boots. As he repacked, he was doubtful whether he had packed his tooth brush or not. In order to check, he again unpacked the bag; he could not find his toothbrush though he shook each and every article packed. The tooth brush was ultimately found in the boots. Now he again set to fold all the clothes and pack them again. This packing scene really is quite amusing.
