Question

Describe the reaction of all slaters and the jordans when abel merryweather walks in the parlour?

Answer 1

both the families were very astonished when they saw the grandfather walking in the parlour it was because they thought that he had been dead in fact it was just their imagination that he had actually gone they think that this person is either the grandfather or else his ghost having a no regard for filial obligation these two families had treated him a burden but when he says that he would be going to give all his property to the person with whom he would be at the time which would be his last put the families try to let him stay in their own homes
