Step-by-step explanation:
At Denver there was an influx of passengers into the coaches on the eastbound B. & M. express. In one coach there sat a very pretty young woman dressed in elegant taste and surrounded by all the luxurious comforts of an experienced traveler. Among the newcomers were two young men, one of handsome presence with a bold, frank countenance and manner; the other a ruffled, glum-faced person, heavily built and roughly dressed. The two were handcuffed together.
As they passed down the aisle of the coach the only vacant seat offered was a reversed one facing the attractive young woman. Here the linked couple seated themselves. The young woman’s glance fell upon them with a distant, swift disinterest; then with a lovely smile brightening her countenance and a tender pink tingeing her rounded cheeks, she held out a little gray-gloved hand. When she spoke her voice, full, sweet, and deliberate, proclaimed that its owner was accustomed to speak and be heard.

Pls use the following link Extract V
The two men sidled down the aisle……..a prisoner to his right hand?
1.What did the glum-faced man do to cut short the conversation between Easton and Miss Fairchild? What could be the reason for his action?
The glum-faced man interrupted the conversation between Easton and Miss Fairchild and requested Easton that he should be taken to the smoker room. To prevent Mr Easton from revealing that he is a convict the glum-faced fellow did so.
2.What reason did the glum-faced man give for his going for a smoke?
The glum-faced man said he was in need of a drink and a smoke. He asked Mr Easton to accompany him to the smoker car as he was ‘half dead for a pipe.’
3.Which hand of an officer is handcuffed to the hand of the convict? Why is this information necessary to end the story?
Generally, an officer’s left hand is handcuffed to the right hand of the convict.
The information is necessary to end the story as it reveals that in reality Mr Easton was the convict, and the glum-faced man was the marshal.
4.Do you like the way the story ends? Give reason to justify your opinion.
Yes, the story ends with a surprise. Give your own answer.
5.What role do the ‘hearts’ and ‘hands’ play in the plot of the story?
For ‘hands’ refer extract II, question 5
It is the ‘hearts’ part of the title that explains the theme. It is because of having a compassionate heart that the marshal told a lie to Miss Fairchild. He did this to save Mr Easton from the humiliation of being identified as a convict in front of an old friend. He told Miss Fairchild that Mr Easton was the marshal and he was the convict, who was being taken to the prison by Mr Easton. The glum-faced man had golden heart. The effect of the lie was immediate in the response of Miss Fairchild. She showed relief that Mr Easton was not convicted. She was shocked and horrified before the marshal told the lie to her.
