“For a moment James wondered if he had done his sums right.” Why was James doubtful about his sums and calculations?
उत्तर
James became doubtful about his sums and calculations when he looked up from his window and saw a star-studded night sky. He knew that somewhere amongst those stars was Comet Dutta, which was heading for a collision with the earth. It was hard for him to believe the calamity of the future on such a peaceful night.
