Q2

Question.1. Describe the troubles and confusions faced by George when his watch stopped working on a winter morning. (CBSE 2014)

Answer. George got up early and failed to sleep. He narrated a past experience when the same thing happened. He was to go to city by nine. He was staying at Mrs Gippings’. As he had forgotten to wind up his watch, the watch stopped at a quarter-past eight. When he got up and looked at the watch, he was horrified. He thought that he was late. Actually it was 3 o’clock in the morning. He rushed out. There was still darkness. All the shops were closed. The policeman looked at George with suspicion. They asked him where he lived. They told him to go back home and sleep. Two constables went with him to Mrs Gippings’s home to see if he had told the truth or not. George came home, unlocked the door and went in. The policemen stood outside and remained standing outside the house for some time. Since that day George had made it a point not to get up early.
