Why do you think Hughie did not want Trevor to tell anyone of his generosity?
Answers
Answer:
When Hughie came in he found Trevor putting the finishing touches to a wonderful life-size picture of a beggar-man. The beggar himself was standing on a raised platform in a corner of the studio. He was a wizened old man, with a face like wrinkled parchment, and a most piteous expression.
Answer:
Hughie did not want Trevor to tell anyone about his generosity because he found in thought of helping he had done a very big mistake.
Explanation:
In Oscar Wilde's short-story The Model Millionaire, Hughie Erskine was a wonderfully good looking man. He was popular with men and women equally. He never said any unkind word.In fact, he had every quality except that of making money.Alan Trevor , an amazing painter, was a great friend of Hughie. As Hughie was good looking , carefree, & joyful spirit Trevor used to like him very much so Hughie could visit Trevor's studio whenever he liked.
One day, Hughie went to see his friend, Alan Trevor, who was a painter. He saw Trevor painting a wonderful picture of a beggar man. The beggar himself was standing in a corner of the studio. He was wizened old men. His face was wrinkled. He had a brown cloak over his shoulder. It was all in rags. His thick boots had many patches. He had a rough stick in one hand. He was leaning over this stick. With his other hand, he was holding out his for alms. The old beggar looked the very pitcher of misery. Hughie was deeply moved by the miserable looks of the old beggar. He could not help pitying him. He felt in his pockets, but could find only one pound in them. Then he walked up to the beggar and slipped the pound into his hand . But while talking to Trevor he came to know that beggar was Baron Hausberg, one of the richest man in Europe. Hearing this made Hughie feel guilty.
