| Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow : | |
| He (the convict) asked me where my father and mother were. When I had pointed out their tombstones to him; he asked me with whom I lived. I told him that I lived with my sister, wife of Joe Gargery, the black- smith. | |
| On hearing the word 'black-smith' he looked down at his legs and then at me. He took me by both arms and ordered me to bring him early the next morning, a file and some food, or he would have my heart and liver out. I was not to say a word about it all ?I am not alone," he said, "as you may think I am. There is a young man hidden within me in comparison with whom I am an angel. That young man hears the words I speak. That young man has a secret way, peculiar to himself, of getting at a boy, and at his heart and at his liver. It is in vain for a boy to attempt to hide himself from the young man." | |
| I promised to bring him the file, and what broken bits of food I could, and wished him good night. He limped towards the Low Church wall, got over it, and then turned round to look for me.
