Question

ing passage carerully. "It was a hot summer night about ten o'clock. I had my meal at the restaurant and returned to my room. I heard a noise from above as I opened the door. The sound was a familiar one. One could say that rats and I shared the room. I took out my box of matches and lighted the kerosene lamp on the table.

Along with some shirts and dhotis, I also possessed one solitary black coat which I was then wearing. (THE SNAKE AND THE MIRROR) Now answer the following questions.
