Answers
Answer:
The narrator, Mr. Bond, bought a long-handled broom from an old junk-shop in the bazaar.
When the broom was brought home, there appeared a black with a mysterious look.
The cat loved to move around the broom all the time.
At this time, a woman, equally mysterious in appearance, Miss Bellows, came to Bond’s house in search of her cat.
While Mr. Bond went for the cat, the cat came to Miss Bellows, sat in her lap.
When Mr. Bond returned without the cat, he saw the cat with its owner.
The narrator offered her a tea first and then some brandy but she wanted only a glass of very hot water.
He gave her a glass of boiling water into which she poured two different powders; one purple and the other crimson.
The drink was a fizzy one, still boiling. Miss Bellows drank the potion and left Mr. Bond’s cottage.
While Mr. Bond remained shocked, unable to move, he noticed that the broom also was missing.
When he ran out of the cottage, he saw that Miss Bellows and the cat were flying on the broomstick and singing a mysterious song.

Do you think that the cat and the broom belonged to Miss Bellows? Why?
A cat and a broomstick – the combination was suggestive. What did the combination suggest?
The combination, a cat and a broomstick, is a clear indication of the presence of a witch. In the past witches were believed to have flown in the air on a broom and they had cats to assist them.
Why did the narrator think that there was something supernatural around him?
What did Mr. Bond know about Miss Bellows before meeting her?
Why did Mr. Bond say that the cat had him?
Mr. Bond said that the cat had him because it seemed to him that the cat was more important in his cottage than he was. The cat least minded his presence in the cottage but he could not ignore the cat’s presence at all.
Do you think that Miss Bellows was a real witch? Explain.
Yes, Miss Bellows was a real witch as per the story. Like the witches of the past, she too had supernatural powers and a very mysterious looks. She was able to drink boiling water, was able to fly on a broomstick and owned a mysterious cat. She was an old lady, the oldest in the hill station so there were possibilities that she had been alive for hundreds of years like the other witches.
