Answer the following question briefly.
"Tortured by doubt and remorse, he sat down in the glow of the charcoal sigri to
wait." Who is tortured by doubt and remorse? Why? What is he waiting for?
उत्तर
The heart of the postmaster was almost laden with deep grief and agony. An element of doubt, whether in the early hours of the morning, he saw old Ali or his ghost, also crept up in his mind. He was swaying in s&ite of great confusion mentally and he was deeply agonized at heart on account of his daughter’s illness. He is waiting for both-an information from his daughter to pacify his grief and also for old Ali to reappear to dispel his feeling of doubt which darkened his senses.
