Question

Why does Gortsby not believe the story of young man ? What makes him feel sorry and part with a sovereign also?​

Answer 1

Answer:

When Gortsby finds a cake of soap on the ground by the bench, he naturally thinks it belonged to the young man and that his whole story was true. Gortsby goes hurrying after him because he thinks he missed a chance to make an extremely valuable friend. He does not have to part with a sovereign.
