Describe Bertie’s problem.

टिप्पणी लिखिए

उत्तर

Bertie was returning from a yachting experience for about six months. He had done a damn awkward thing. He left behind his sovereign purse with four quid in it. It was all his worldly wealth at the moment. He must have left the purse on the table. He was stopping at a little country near Brondquay for three days’ fishing. As none knows him there, he needed money for his weekend bill and tips and cab to and from the station. In short, he desperately needed three pounds to manage the crisis.
