Do you think a criminal always leave an evidence of which crime? Justify on the basis of the story The Case of Sharp Eyed Jeweller'
Answers
Answer:
Ans. The narrator's hobby is to study crime and criminals. He considers it 'out of the ordinary' because generally people don't have such unusual hobby. This hobby demanded keen observation and use of common sense to the full. Normally hobbies don't have such requirements.
2. Why did the narrator find the behaviour of the woman standing outside the Regnier's strange?
Ans. The woman had been standing in front of an undertaker's shop staring at the display window which held two urns and some photographs of gravestones. She had been standing there for about 15 to 20 minutes looking at those uninteresting things. Her interest in such things struck the narrator as very strange.
3. 'Her arrival at the moment struck me rather strange.' Why did the narrator find the young lady's arrival at that point of time strange?
Ans. The lady had been standing outside the undertaker's shop opposite the Regnier's for about 15 to 20 minutes but she entered at the crucial moment when the ring had disappeared. Everyone was searching for the ring. That's why the narrator felt it strange and could accept her entry as purely co-incidental.
