to whom? To which time did the speaker refer by those days'? What did the speaker
mean by 'I had a great spirit'? What might have the speaker done in those days'?​

Answer 1

Answer:

# According to Lady Gregory's 'The Rising of The Moon' the sergeant said this to the ragged man.

# Here 'those days' is referred to the time when the sergeant was young.

# He was young and could have done anything he want. He framed this as 'great spirit'.

# If any of his friends had told him some plan to free the country, he would have joined them and fought the foreign governments .In that case he might be in trouble then.
