Question

They just wouldn't dare not to give a chap a remove after his taking extra work. But those sort of rules don't apply to the crock - Mr. Crocker Harris. Who does 'they' refer to in the above lines?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The statement given in question refers to the story  ‘The Browning Version’ written by Terence Rattigan. This is a three characters play where the three characters are Taplow, Frank, and Mr. Crocker . In the act, Taplow is a school student, Frank a young teacher and Mr. Crocker a middle-aged teacher.

In the given lines, the word they refers to other teachers of school including Frank

Answer 2

They refers to Taplow and Frank.

• The question has been asked from the story The Browning Version  By Terence Rattigan.
• On the last day, Taplow arrives to do extra work for Mr. Crocker-Harris, as he was absent the day before. There, he meets Frank, a school science teacher.
• Frank asked him what his name was and why he was there that day. In the lower fifth norm, Taplow studies and is about to get his results from Mr. Harris, his teacher.
• Taplow answers him and informs him that he was in the lower fifth standard, and he can only specialise after receiving his division. Frank asked him if he had the removal or not, to which Taplow says that Mr. Harris, like other masters, does not disclose details.
