Answer:
Explanation:
The story 'Evans tries an O - level is a work of detective fiction written by a British crime writer Colin Dexter. This story deals with the intellect and insight of a jail prisoner, Evans and how he outwits the prison officers and manages to escape from the jail multiple times.
The governor and the jail officers had made numerous arrangements and precautions before letting Evans take his O- level German exam as he had already escaped from jail three times. He was known as 'Evans the break' and was a congenital kleptomaniac according to the governor. They investigated his room thoroughly and took all the precautionary steps. They even took away his razor, nail file and nail scissors.
The exam invigilator (McLeery) was frisked thoroughly and the governor himself and two other senior prison officers (Jackson and Stephens) kept watch on him regularly. After the examination got over, Stephens himself accompanied McLeery to the prison gate and sent him off. When they returned back to the cell they found out that the one who walked out of the prison gate was Evans and not McLeery. McLeery was lying covered in blood apparently after having been hit by a sharp weapon. They were astonished that in spite of all the checking Evans had managed to hide a false beard, a dogcollar, a pair of spectacles and also a weapon with which he had managed to hurt McLeery. McLeery showed them the question paper and was convinced that Evans was on his way to Elsfield. They called an ambulance and McLeery was taken to the hospital. After some time, when they could not trace Evan's whereabouts the governor called the hospital and was shocked to hear that there was no one by the name of McLeery there.
Now it was confirmed that it was Evans who had pretended to be McLeery and stayed in the cell. The real McLeery had not left his house at all and was found tied and gagged at his residence.
Meantime, Evans was staying at a luxurious hotel and enjoying himself. The governor who finally found out his plan, surprised him at his hotel room. Evans was handcuffed and arrested again. He was ushered by two prison officers into a van. The van left the hotel and turned right. The officers uncuffed him and asked him where he would like to go. They were in fact Evan's friends. He had once again outwitted the governor. Hence Evans had the last laugh.
