Ex. 4
Say which of the characters the following statements relate to
and how they characterize them.
1. She was easy and comfortable. She had a placidity of
temper that communicated itself to the people she was
with; you shared her pleasure in the passing moment.
2. He seemed to be a gay dog. With leers and laughing in-
nuendoes he gave me to understand that he was a devil
with the girls.
3. It was as though he lived a life of the imagination that
made the life of every day a little shadowy. He was asked
to speak now and then at public dinners.
4. He was a large, fat, blond man, with a fleshy white face,
pale blue eyes, and graying fair hair. He generally wore a
pale blue tie to bring out the colour of his eyes.
5. About a week before he had announced that he had to go
up to London on business, and two days later a petition
in bankruptcy was filed against him.
6. He was very amiable to the authors he met at Driffield’s
and said charming and flattering things to them, but
when they were gone he was very amusing at their ex-
pense.
7. “He was the only man she ever really fancied. He only
’ad to lift ’is little finger and she’d leave anyone no mat-
ter who it was.
8. Her remarks seemed a trifle disconnected to me. The fact
was, I have no doubt, that she was giving me not the
smallest thought.
9. Nothing more was heard of her. Small sums reached her
mother occasionally.
10. He made no secret of his admiration for Rosie. He was
rich apparently, for he sent her roses every day … . He
was blatant and loud.

Ex. 5
Discuss Rosie’s attitude towards life in pairs. Support or chal-
lenge her words.
‘It’s so silly to be fussy and jealous. Why not be happy with
what you can get? Enjoy yourself while you have the chance; I
say; we shall all be dead in a hundred years and what will any-
thing matter then? Let’s have a good time while we can.’
Ex. 6
Comment on the following situation (ch. XIX p. 199–200)
Her husband was there.
‘I expect he’d like a cup of tea,’ he said.
‘Oh, I think it’s rather late for tea, isn’t it?’ She looked at me
gently, her mild, rather fine eyes full of kindness. ‘You don’t
want any tea, do you?’
I was thirsty and hungry, for my lunch consisted of a scone
and butter and a cup of coffee, but I did not like to say so. I
refused tea … .
…Mrs. Barton Trafford with her ready sympathy, anxious to
put me at my ease, took me by the hand and made me sit on
the sofa beside her. The tea was still on the table and she took
a jam sandwich and delicately nibbled it.
Say how this situation characterizes Mrs. Barton and young
Ashenden. What device did the author use to show this?
