                   I. Read the extract and answer the following questions

                   A. Harris said that we should be waiting to start in less than
                   twelve hour time and thought that he and George had better do
                   the rest, and I agreed and sat down, and had to go.


                   a) What was the rest that Harris and George offered to do?
                   b) Why did Harris and George offered to do the rest?
                   c) Why did Harris particularly mention that they had less than
                       twelve hour time to start?
                   d) Who does ‘I’ refer to? Why did ‘I’ agree to the proposal?


                    B. However I did not say anything but started the packing. It
                    seemed longer a job than I had thought it was going to be…

                   a) Whom does ‘I’ stand for?
                   b) Why didn’t ‘I’ say anything?
                   c) How did the job not match to his expectation?

                   d) Why did the job take longer than the expectation?

               II. Answer the questions in 30-40 words

               Q1. Why did George and Harris have to pick up the tomato with a
                    spoon?
               Q2. Describe the butter incident.

               O3. How did Montmorency disturb Harris and George?
