Question: Philip sletherby settled himself --------------------- . Explain which word best describes how this character is feeling? Irritated, smug , embarrassed
He will be pretending to be very happy with this deal, but from inside, he will be feeling irritated. Before starting for trip, he might had not thought of settling him in railway carriage. Even though, he choose to settle in that carriage with his consent, the comments and look on the faces of other people travelling in the other individual compartments will definitely make him more irritated. He might have decided that he will enjoy the said trip even in carriage, but people will take it in other way and it will be advertised amongst them that this fellow has not much money with him to travel in proper compartment of train and that’s why he has chosen to travel in railway carriage which is not meant for a well earning person. Some will create their own stories like Philip sletherby has chosen this mode of journey to save his money as he is very miser and he cannot spend money even for his comfort. Even if he wish to save money and make it a profitable trip, even then all these comments and viewpoints, will irritate him.
