Question

what was jimmmy doing when the guard come to take him to office?​

Answer 1

Answer:

A guard came to the prison shoe-shop, where Jimmy Valentine was assiduously stitching uppers, and escorted him to the front office. There the warden handed Jimmy his pardon, which had been signed that morning by the governor. Jimmy took it in a tired kind of way. He had served nearly ten months of a four year sentence. He had expected to stay only about three months, at the longest. When a man with as many friends on the outside as Jimmy Valentine had is received in the "stir" it is hardly worth while to cut his hair.

Answer 2

Answer:

When the guard came off to take him to the front office Jimmy was assiduously stiching the uppers.
