LITERATURE

Telling Stories

2 1. He was supposed to be at home with his family.

Andrew spoke in a funny, choked sort of way.
2. He had come to tell her that he could not marry her.
3. Irene was very calm. Andrew had expected her to be very
upset.
4. They agreed that Irene would handle it her way, that they
would not tell anyone and that she would not turn up at the
church.
5. He was nervous as he “knew” the wedding was not going
to take place despite all the guests being there.

3 The conflict is that Andrew does not want to get married while
Irene does. It is resolved by Irene taking control and going
ahead with the wedding as if there was no conflict.

The Verger

2 1. False. “… I think you’ve fulfilled your duties quite

satisfactorily.”
2. False. “I’m afraid you must learn.”
3. True. “Deep in his sad thoughts, … He walked … with a
heavy heart.”
4. False. “It was a long street, with all sorts of shops in it,
but there was not a single one where you could buy
cigarettes.”
5. True. “Within ten years, he had no less than ten shops and
was making a lot of money.”
6. True. “I think you should invest it as you would make a
much better profit that way.”

3 1. It is ironic that the same person who was illiterate and
could no longer be a verger, went on to be a very
successful businessman and make a fortune. Had he
become literate, he would have remained a poor verger.
2. The bank manager was amazed to discover that Albert was
illiterate. His reaction was not positive because he thought
that Albert could have made even more of himself if he
weren’t illiterate.
