Answers
Answer:
1.Miss Fairchild. She is described as an elegantly dressed, pretty young woman who had all the luxuries and who loved travelling.
2.They were old acquaintances.
3.By saying "My butterfly day are over, I fear?", Mr Easton actually meant that his days of earning money by cheating people are over and now he is going to prison and his freedom will be compromised.
4.The main theme of the story is kindness. The real marshal is a kind man who spares Mr. Easton, as well as Miss Fairchild, some embarrassment with no ulterior motives at all. He gains nothing from doing this.The author has titled the story 'Hearts and Hands' because by having the marshal lie about his hand, he shows his heart for the convict and highlights the theme of compassion. The word 'Hearts' also indicates the kind of friendship that existed between Miss Fairchild and Mr Easton. So, we can say it is an apt title.
5.Yes, the story ends with a surprise.
