Question

what reply did joe thompson give his wife when she asked him what he had brought with him? where did he lay Maggie?

Answer 1

Hey friend,
Here is your answer:

Joe Thompson laid Maggie on a bed lying in the small chamber of the first floor.

Joe Thompson when confronted by his short tempered wife, Jane Thompson, he told her that he asked her to let Maggie stay there for a night and he would take her to the poorhouse the next day. To convince her, he told parts from Bible also. He comforted her and asked her to think about Maggie's situation.

Hope it helps u.
