Answer 2

The questions have been asked from the story Dusk by Saki.

1. The story is in dusk. This is the time of day, when it only gets dark. The meaning of daytime is that the defeated people come out in the dusk. When Norman Gortsby declares dusk to be the "hour of the vanquished" he is simply his usual, blindly-judgmental self. Dusk is, in his limited opinion, a time for wretched people.

2. In the story the young man is a scam artist. He sits next to Gortsby on the table and loudly starts to swear. Gortsby tells him about his annoying curse and he begins to read off his miserable tale. He had concocted stories that would bring him relatively large sums of money if they had the desired effect on the victim .
