=> " She" is the author's wife.
=> The narrator, his son and even some friends advised the author’s wife to send Bruno to a zoo because he was now too big to be kept at home.
=> No, the author's wife did not readily agree to the advice. She was so affectionately attached to the bear that she could not think of parting from him. It took them weeks to convince her to give her consent.
=> Hastily.
Then my son and I advised my wife, and friends
advised her too, to give Baba to the zoo at Mysore.
He was getting too big to keep at home. After some
weeks of such advice she at last consented. Hastily,
and before she could change her mind, a letter was
written to the curator of the zoo. Did he want a
tame bear for his collection? He replied, "Yes". The
zoo sent a cage from Mysore in a lorry, a distanc
of eighty-seven miles, and Baba was packed off.Explation
