Read the following passage and answer the questions based on them:
It was cold night in September. The rain was drumming on the car roof as George & Marie
Winston drove through the empty country roads towards the house of their friends, the
Harrison’s, where they were going to attend a party to celebrate the engagement of the
Harrison’s daughter, Lisa. As they drove, they listened to the local radio station, which was
playing classical music. They were about 5 miles from the destination when the music on
the radio was interrupted by a news announcement: “The Cheshire police have issued a
serious warning after a man escaped from Colford Mental Hospital earlier this evening.
The man, John Downey, is murderer who killed 6 people before he was captured 2 years
ago. He is described as large, very strong & extremely dangerous. People in the Cheshire
area are warned to keep their doors & windows locked, & to call the police immediately if
they se anyone acting strangely.” Marie shivered, “A crazy killer. And he’s out there
somewhere. That’s scary.” Don’t worry about it,” said her husband. “We’re nearly there
now. Anyway, we have more important things to worry about. This car is losing power for
some reason—it must be that old problem with the carburetor, If it gets any worse, we’ll
have to stay at the Harrison’s’ tonight & get it fixed before we travel back tomorrow,” As
he spoke, the car began to slow down, George pressed the accelerator, but the engine only
coughed. Finally they rolled to a halt, as the engine died completely, Just as they stopped,
George pulled the car off the road, & it came to rest under a large tree. “Blast!” said
George angrily. “Now we’ll have to walk in the rain.” “But that’ll take us an hour at least,”
said Marie. “And I have my high-held shoes & my nice clothes on. They’ll be
ruined!” “Well, you’ll have to wait while I run to the nearest house & call the Harissons.
Someone can come out & picks us up,” said George. “But George! Have you forgotten what
the radio said? There’s a homicidal maniac out there! You can’t leave me alone
here!” “You’ll have to hide in the back of the car. Lock all the doors & lie on the floor in
the back, under this blanket. No-one will see you, when I come back, I’ll knock 3 times on
the door. Then you can get up & open it. Don’t open it unless you here 3 knocks.” George
opened the door & slipped out into the rain. He quickly disappeared into the
blackness. Marie quickly locked the doors & settled down under the blanket in the back for
a long wait. She was frightened & worried, but she was a strong-minded woman. She had
not been waiting long, however, when she heard a strange scratching noise. It seemed to be
coming from the roof of the car. Marie was terrified. She listened, holding her breath. Then
she heard 3 slow knocks, one after the other, also on the roof of the car. Was it her
husband? Should she open the door? Then she heard another knock, and another. This was
not her husband. It was somebody--or something--else. She was shaking with fear. But she
forced herself to lie still. The knocking continued-- bump, bump, bump, bump many hours
later, as the sun rose, she was still lying there. She had not slept for a moment. The

knocking had never stopped, all night long. She did not know what to do. Where was
George? Why had he not come for her?
Suddenly, she heard the sound of 3 or 4 vehicles, racing quickly down the road. All of them
pulled up around her, their tires screeching on the road. At last! Some one had come!
Marie sat up quickly & looked out the window.
The 3 vehicles were all police cars, & 2 still had their lights flashing. Several policemen leap
out. One of them rushed towards the car as Marie opened the door. He took her by the
hand.
“Get out of the car & walk with me to the police vehicle. Miss you’re safe now. Look
straight ahead. Keep looking at police car. Don’t look back. Just don’t look back.”
Something in the way he spoke filled Marie with cold horror. She could not help herself.
After 10 yards from the police car, she stopped, turned & looked back at the empty vehicle.
George was hanging from the tree above the car, a rope tied around his neck. As the wind
blew his body back & forth, his feet were bumping gently on the roof of the car-- bump,
bump, bump, bump
