NAMASTE...❤️❤️

1. As soon as he sets foot in the bank, the narrator feels incredibly nervous. Everything about banks makes him feel jittery: the clerks, the sight of money, the little windows at the counters.

2. The narrator attempted to open an account secretly. Upon entering the bank, the narrator asked to speak to the manager privately. Because of the narrator's nervous agitation and air of secrecy, the manager assumed that he was dealing with a private detective.

3. The bank manager assumes that Leacock is there to warn him about a planned robbery or burglary. Leacock only adds to the confusion and alarm by telling him: ... Stephen Leacock is evidently exaggerating the nervousness that many of us feel when we are dealing with an imposing institution.

4. The bank manager was annoyed as he first thought that the narrator told him that he wanted to talk to him alone so the manager thought that he was a spy from pinkertons but he later he found that hev wasn't a spot spy so he thought he was a millionaire and wanted to open a big account. But when he came to know that he was wrong again he got annoyed.

5. The author says that every time he goes to a bank, he gets rattled. On this occasion, he visits the bank because he has had a small pay increase and feels that he must deposit the money in the bank...

6. The narrators calls it a mistake, because he didn't want his fellow train companion to know that he's blind.

7. The roar of laughter can be attributed to Leacock's actions while attempting to make a deposit. Leacock's excessively furtive behavior and fumbling actions likely made him a comical figure in the eyes of the bank employees. In the story, Leacock tries to deposit fifty-six dollars at the bank.

8. Stephen Leacock grew up on a farm, so it is understandable that he might have been awkward and self-conscious when he got his first job in a city and decided to open a bank account because his modest salary seemed too big for him to keep in cash.
