Answer 2

"McLeery's hitherto amiable demeanour"

McLeery is a character in the chapter Evans tries an O-level who is an individual working at St. Mary Mags and is sent to the Oxford Prison To work as the proctor for Evan's German exam. He is a man who is formally dressed and has a short haircut.

The given statement talks about the behaviour and attitude of McLeery. Breaking the sentence into words, 'hitherto' means until now; 'amiable' means friendly and pleasant and the term 'demeanour' means the way a person behaves. So this statement refers to the friendly behaviour of McLeery.
