"To tell you the truth, Chipping, I'm not having too easy a time here. I'm thirty-nine, you know, and unmarried, and lots of people seem to think they know what I ought to do. Also, I happen to be diabetic, and couldn't pass the blindest M.O., but I don't see why I should pin a medical certificate on my front door."

Q1. How did the child look by appearance?

Ans: She was an attractive child. There was no expression on her face. She seemed as strong as a heifer in appearance. Her face was flushed and was breathing rapidly. She had magnificent blonde hair, in profusion. She was very healthy and looked like one of those children whose pictures are often reproduced in leaflets and papers.

Q2. Why did the parents keep the sick child in the kitchen?

Ans: The child was suffering from diphtheria which is an serious infectious disease, caused by a bacterium that attacks the membranes of the throat and releases a toxin that damages the heart and the nervous system. The main symptoms are fever, weakness and severe inflammation of the affected membranes. Such a patient is kept at a warm place. That is why the parents kept the sick child in the kitchen where it was warm.

Q3. How did the doctor succeed in examining her throat?

Ans: When the doctor tried to examine the child’s throat, she attacked the doctor’s eyes with her hand clawed. The child’s father put her in his lap and held both her wrists. The doctor grasped her head with his left hand and he got the wooden spatula into her mouth. She gripped the wooden tongue-depressor between her teeth and crushed it badly. Now the doctor again overpowered the child’s neck and jaws. He forced the heavy silver spoon back of her teeth and down her throat till she gagged. The doctor observed that both of her tonsils were covered with diseased membrane. She had diphtheria.

Q4. Describe the feelings of the doctor in his struggle to diagnose the disease.

Ans: In his struggle to diagnose the child, the doctor first asked the child politely to let him examine her throat so as to save her life. The doctor was a very tolerant man but when the child’s mother used the word “hurt”, the doctor minded it and felt upset because it made the girl, who seemed stubborn, much angrier. He felt the use of force necessary to examine her throat. When broke the wooden blade into pieces. At this point the doctor lost his temper but controlled himself and asked for the parents’ help.

A sick child has symptoms like red face, fast breathing, fever etc. He or she is irritated and does not cooperate

Angel and the Author and Others (HSSC - 1) - Lesson No. 15

ANGEL AND THE AUTHOR AND OTHERS

By Jerome K Jerome

Q1. At what point of the journey in his dream did the author hear the throbbing sound of wings?

Ans. One night, in his dream the author felt that he was flying up towards the sky. While he was moving up and up he could observe the little luminosity down on the earth. At this moment, he heard the throbbing sound of the wings behind him. When he turned around, he saw that it was the recording angel.

Q2. What time of the year was it?

Ans. It was about a fortnight (two weeks) after Christmas, when the writer had a worrisome dream. The author dreamt that he was moving up towards the sky.

Q3. What does the author like about Christmas?

Ans. The author tells the angel that he likes Christmas, because it makes everybody good especially the lovely sentiments and the noble deeds that people keep on repeating from a little before Christmas up to the end of January. There is also an ironic element in the writer’s opinion that usually people do good deeds only for a limited time each years just to show off especially during the religious days.

Q4. Write down the good deeds the author has admitted are a great joy on Christmas?

Ans. The good deeds that the author has done are as follow:- 1 He submitted ten shillings subscription to the daily telegraph’s six penny fund for the unemployed. 1 He attended four charity dinners, later he had to suffer from stomach problem. 1 He sent his twelve self-signed photographs to a charity bazaar to be sold to raise funds. 1 He also performed in Talbot Chimneys and helped to raise funds for the destitute (poor) British in Johannesburg. 1 Moreover, he sent his old clothes along with a useable coat to rummage sale and bought a raffle to help the poor.

Q5. Why noble deeds are always a great joy for the author?

Ans. Good deeds bring spiritual satisfaction to everyone. Similarly for the author good deeds are of great joy, he tries to recall all his good deeds that he has done during his lifetime. In his dream, he is dead and realizes that he has lost all opportunities for good deeds. He also tells the angel that noble deeds are always a great joy to him and he loves to think of all the good deeds he himself has done. He often thought of keeping a diary--noting them down each day as it would be so nice for one's children. Noble deeds not only satisfy one’s conscience but also a true way to win God’s love. A tree is known by its fruit; a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost; he who sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.

Q6. What is the central idea of the story “The Angel and The Author and The Others”?

Ans. Man does not become conscious of the escaping time and opportunity that has been bestowed to him by Almighty Allah. Here in this story, the author realizes that he is no more alive and has lost all the opportunities to perform good deeds. Thus he recalls his good deeds with the ironic vein that majority of us start doing good during the specific religious occasions. In other words, in order to protect himself from damnation he starts mentioning his trivial deeds which are of no significance. The idea of death, the fear of it, haunts the human like nothing else; it is a mainspring of human activity and this fear can only be overthrown or defeated through good deeds and following the ways prescribed by Almighty Allah.

The basic theme or central idea of this story is that most of the people pretend to be rich and tries to hide their poverty and miseries because they are looked down upon by the elite class, who has merely made the physical appearance to be final yardstick of measuring character and status in the society. But we should judge people around us morally not materially as Our true beauty is defined by our soul; our appearance is just a camouflage we use to hide our true beauty, our true identity.
