Question

Comment on the reaction of the mother (night of scorpion) . How has the speaker described it

Answer 1

$\huge\mathcal{Answer:}$

The speaker specifically remembers this night due to this event- namely, the mother getting bitten. The way in which the mother is bitten is also shown in 'flash of diabolic tail'; the speaker manages to suggest that the scorpion is demonic with its "diabolic" tail, and emphasises its speed with the word flash.
