Question

Q. Read the following extracts from the text and answer the questions that follow:


EVIE: Mother, what does Mr. Gresham want with father? Has he done anything wrong?
MARTHA: No, Evie she is your father.
EVIE: What about? Mr. Gresham has been arrested. They are going to try him tomorrow. What can he
want with father?
MARTHA: Your father will have to give evidence.
EVIE: But he's going to give evidence against Mr. Gresham. Is not it queer that he wanted to see him?
MARTHA: They haven't been fair to him.
EVIE: Perhaps not, but they said, we must have been a fool not to know. They said that only he could
have known he and Mr. Gresham. Why doesn't he stop it?
MARTHA: He was acting under Mr. Gresham's order.
JOHN (slowly]: I suppose so.
MARTHA (after a pause]: Will the depositors lose much, Robert?
BALDWIN (emphatically]: The depositors will not lose a cent.
EVIE (surprised): But the papers said –
BALDWIN (interrupting): They had to print something; they guessed. I know. I tell you.
MARTHA: But you never said so before.
BALDWIN: I left that for Gresham. It will come out tomorrow.
JOHN: Why tomorrow? Why didn't you say so before? The papers asked you often enough.
BALDWIN: Nothing forced me to answer John.
JOHN: That wasn't your real reason, was it, Dad? You knew the papers would keep right on calling you
names (BALDWIN does not answer, JOHN'S face lights up with sudden understanding). You wanted to let
Gresham announce it himself: because it will be something in his favor! Eh?
