Then all the windows of the grey wooden house (Miss Hilton used to live
here. She expired last week), were thrown open, a thing I had never seen
before.
At the end of the day a sign was nailed on the mango tree : FOR SALE.
Nobody in the street knew Miss Hilton. While she lived, her front gate
was always locked and no one ever saw her leave or saw anybody go in. So,
even if you wanted to, you couldn't feel sorry and say that you missed
Miss Hilton.
When I think of her house I see just two colours. Grey and green. The
green of the mango tree, the grey of the house and the grey of the high
iron fence that prevented you from getting at the mangoes.
If your cricket ball fell in Miss Hilton's courtyard you never got it back.
It wasn't the mango season when Miss Hilton died. But we got back about
ten or twelve of our cricket balls.
The house was sold and we were prepared to dislike the new owners even
before they came. I think we were a little worried. Already we had one
resident of the street who kept on complaining about us to our parents.
He complained that we played cricket on the pavement; and if we were not
playing cricket, he complained that we were making too much noise anyway.
One afternoon when I came back from school Pal said, ''It is a man and a
woman. She is pretty, but he is ugly like hell.'' I didn't see much. The
front gate was open, but the windows were shut again. I heard a dog barking
in an angry way.
One thing was settled pretty quickly. Whoever these people were, they
would never be the sort of people to complain that we were making noise
and disturbing their sleep.A lot of noise came from the house that night. The radio was going at full
volume until midnight when the radio station closed down. The dog was
barking and the man was shouting. I didn't hear the woman.
On the basis of your understanding of the above passage, complete
the statements that follow:
a) Nobody went into Miss Hilton's house because her front
_____________ .
