(1.)What did the author find in a junk shop?
(2). What did he find in a secret drawer? Who do you think had put it in there?​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. The author found a roll-top desk for sale in a junk shop. It was made of oak wood, but it was in a very bad condition.

2. In the secret drawer of the desk, the author found a small tin box. It had a letter in it. I think the owner of the roll-top desk might have put it there.

Answer 2

Answer:

1) The author found a nineteenth century roll-top desk in the junk shop. It was made of oak. It was in a very bad condition. The roll-top was broken into several pieces. One of the legs was clumsily mended and there were scorch marks down one side. The author bought it in order to restore it.

2) Answer: The author found a letter written by a person named Jim. It was Jim’s last letter to the recipient Mrs. Macpherson. So, there is every chance that Mr. Macpherson had put it there.
