Answer 2

Answer:

The tooth-brush was the thing that haunted Jerome always, making his life miserable. He would dream that he’d not packed his brush, wake up suddenly in a cold sweat, and begin hunting for it. In the morning he would pack it before using it, and had to unpack again to get it. It was always the last thing he turned out of the bag ; and then repacked and forgot it. He had to rush upstairs for it at the last moment and carry it to the railway station, wrapped up in his pocket - handkerchief.
