3.2.1 Read the following passages and answer the questions that follow.
I saw my mother's hand feeling for the clasp of her purse, She saw
me watching her. (I was giving her one of my own frosty-nosed looks
this time and she knew exactly what I was telling her. Now listen,
mummy, I was telling her you simply mustn't take advantage of a tired
old man in this way. It's a rotten thing to do.) My mother paused and
looked back at me. Then she said to the little man, 'I don't think it's quite
right that I should take an umbrella from you worth twenty pounds. I
think I'd better just give you the taxi-fare and be done with it.'
