a) During the second visit of the author,a girl of fifteen opened the door to her. Her mother( mrs Dorling) was not at home. The narrator expressed her wish to wait for her. The girl accompanied her to the passage. The girl made her sit in the living room and went inside. The narrator was horrified to find herself in a room she knew and did not know. She found herself in the middle of familiar things which she longed to see again but which troubled her in the strange atmosphere. She had no courage to look around her. But she no longer had desire to possess them. She got up, walked to the door, and left the room. She resolved to forget the address and moved on.
b) Howard Carter was a British archaeologist who in 1922 discovered Tut's tomb after years of futile searching. This was his greatest discovery in Egypt,the contents of the tomb had been ransacked hastily but it was still complete.
c)→ The restraint and composure with which the children handled themselves in the moment of crisis boosted the morale of the narrator and spurred him into action.
He realized that if his children could exercise such remarkable self-control with the possibility of death looming over their heads, then he as a grown man could also show courage and determination under duress and take them to safety.
It dawned on him that he somehow had to make it for them. He saw how his boys were cheerful and optimistic and most importantly, how his little girl did not fret over her injuries and how his little boy was not afraid of death. Such resilience pushed him to take the reigns of their safety into his own hands and achieve what had seemed to be impossible.
d). One day John Byro was on his way to the town. He saw Aram and Mourad with his stolen horse. He studied the horse carefully and looked into his mouth. Tooth for tooth it was the same horse. He asked its name. Mourad replied: “My Heart”. John Byro could never imagine that they could steal his horse. He convinced himself that perhaps the horse was the twin of his own horse.
