4. My beautiful watch had run eighteen months without losing or gaining and withoutbreaking any part of its machinery or stopping. I had come to believe it unfailingin its judgement about the time of day; but at last, one night I let it run down. Igrieved about it as if it were a recognized messenger and forerunner of disaster.But soon, I cheered up, set the watch by guess and commanded my anxieties todepart. Next day I stepped into the chief jeweller's to set it by the exact timeand the head of the establishment took it out of my hand and proceeded to setit for me. Then he said, "She is four minutes slow-regulator wants pushing up." Itried to stop him, tried to make him understand that the watch kept perfect time.But, no, all this human cabbage could see was that the watch was four minutesslow and the regulator must be pushed up a little and so, while I danced roundhim in anguish and begged him to let the watch alone, he calmly and cruellydid the shameful deed.Questions:(1) What, according to the jeweller, was wrong with the watch?(2) Who was responsible for the running down of the watch? How?(3) What are the feelings of the writer towards the watch? How do we come toknow this?( 4 ) For whom is the word 'human cabbage' used ?Ans.(1) |
