Question

What was Jerome’s attitude towards Tombstones How was it different from Harris “Why should I We have graves of our own, our family has.” Why did Jerome say so What were ‘the graves of our own’

Answer 1

Harris was extremely fascinated by tombs and graveyards. As their boat came near Hampton Church, he proposed stopping to visit the graveyard, where someone named Mrs. Thomas was rumoured to have a funny tombstone. But Jerome was just opposite to Harris. He found graveyards depressing and unpleasant. He disliked the idea of visiting a graveyard and so protested.
