answes for the following questions were given.
Explanation:
1. ‘My hobby is perhaps a little out of the ordinary.’ What is the narrator’s hobby? Why does he consider it ‘out of the ordinary’?
Answer: The narrator’s hobby is to study crime and criminals. He also collects newspaper clippings, crime scene photographs, and court records. He visits prisons and police stations to learn more about how criminals think and act. He reads books on criminology and psychology to gain insight into the mind of a criminal. He also speaks to experts in the field to gain further knowledge. All this helps him understand the motivations and methods behind crime.
2. Why did the narrator find the behaviour of the woman standing outside the Regnier’s strange?
Answer:
The woman had been standing in front of the undertaker's shop for around fifteen to twenty minutes, her gaze fixed on the rather uninspiring contents of the display window. This peculiar fascination struck the narrator as highly suspicious, considering she was not wearing any articles of clothing usually associated with mourning.
3. ‘Her arrival at this moment struck me as rather strange.’ Why did the narrator find the young lady’s arrival at that point of time strange?
Answer: The narrator was suspicious when the young lady suddenly shifted from mourning outside the undertaker’s shop to shopping across the street at the Regnier’s shortly after the precious ring disappeared. She had been standing outside the undertaker’s shop for 15 to 20 minutes, yet she did not enter the Regnier’s until the ring vanished. This made the narrator question why the lady had not arrived there earlier if she had any business at the shop.
4. Do you think the young lady had accidentally dropped the paper in which her brooch was wrapped? If not, why did she do so?
Answer: No, I don’t think the lady had accidentally dropped the paper in which her brooch was wrapped. She did it deliberately because she was the part of the well-made plan of stealing the ring from the Regnier’s. She pretended to drop the paper accidentally to distract the narrator and get time to take off the flower ring.
5. Where did the narrator find the ring from? How did he know it would be there?
Answer:
The narrator had been paying close attention when he saw the left-handed American place his hand in the left pocket of the woman's coat. Noticing this, the narrator then observed that the woman, who was otherwise right-handed, had put her left hand exactly where the American had put his. Realizing that this was where the ring had been hidden, the narrator searched the pocket and found the ring.
