Question

4. Why was the narrator happy that the district officer had not
come to his house himself instead of calling him?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The narrator was happy that the district officer had not come to his house because it would have created a problem for him as there was not even a decent chair in his house. It would have been difficult for him to entertain the district officer for long even after spending a lot of money. If his wife also accompanied him, it would have made the matter worse as the narrator’s wife would have been able to entertain her.
