Answers
Answer:
The hack driver seemed to be a simple countryman at first appearance and was ready to help the narrator. The lawyer was in search of lutkin and hence the hack driver took him to various places where he might find lutkin. The next day the case came up in the court. As he was unable to find lutkins, the lawyer was asked to go back to New Mullion with a man who had worked with lutkins. The lawyer got shocked to find that the hack driver himself was lutkin. Bill also told the lawyer that lutkins was a hard fellow to catch. He was always up to something or the other. He owned money from many people, including Bill, and had never even paid anybody a cent. The lawyer felt humiliated and learnt not to be hasty in judging a person. Thus, the lesson is a gentle reminder that appearance can be deceptive.
Answer:
A person may appear humble but in actual he may not be so. We must be self- dependant and carefully judge the actions taken by others before accepting them.
Explanation:
In the story 'The Hack Driver' Oliver Lutkins pretends to be Bill Magnuson and fools the lawyer to avoid being summoned. He does so with the help of his wit and humor. He cleverly manipulates the lawyer by making him stand outside or behind him whenever they interrogate a villager. Oliver also gives elegant description of his mother to scare the lawyer.
By doing this, he even earns 2 dollars per hour and 50 cents for lunch. It is true that some people may appear humble but may not be so. Therefore, one should not trust everyone blindly.
