उत्तर
As an author’s friend, I would have dissuaded him from continuing the risk he was taking by adding. I would have reasoned with him that bidding without even the security deposit of 500 pounds in the bank had the potential threat of facing public disgrace. If I insisted, he would definitely give up bidding. Friendship is a heavy responsibility. One can’t permit a friend to go towards a tight comer unthinkingly.
