Question

A2. Answer the following.
1. Whom did the manager think the narrator was?
Ans:
2. What was the accountant's name?
Ans:-
He had gathered from my mysterious manner that I was a detective. I knew what he was thinking and it
made me worse.
"No, not from Pinkerton's," I said, seemingly to imply that I came from a rival agency. "To tell the truth."
went on, as if I had been prompted to lie about it, "I am not a detective at all. I have come to open an
account. I intend to keep all my money in this bank."
The manager looked relieved, but still serious; he concluded now that I was a son of Baron Rothschild, or a
young Gould.
"A large account, I suppose," he said.
"Fairly large," I whispered. "I propose to deposit fifty-six dollars now, and fifty dollars a month regularly."
The manager got up and opened the door. He called to the accountant.
"Mr. Montgomery," he said, unkindly loud, "this gentleman is opening an account, he will deposit fiftysix
dollars. Good morning."
I rose.
A big iron door stood open at the side of the room.
"Good morning," I said, and stepped into the safe.
"Come out," said the manager coldly, and showed me the other way.
I went up to the accountant's wicket and poked the ball of money at him with a quick, convulsive
movement, as if I were doing a conjuring trick.
My face was ghastly pale.
"Here," I said, "deposit it." The tone of the words seemed to mean, "Let us do this painful thing while
the fit is on us."
He took the money and gave it to another clerk. He made me write the sum on a slip and sign my
name in a book. I no longer knew what I was doing. The bank swam before my eyes.
"Is it deposited?" I asked in a hollow vibrating voice.
"It is," said the accountant.
"Then I want to draw a check."​
