संक्षेप में उत्तर

उत्तर

Of course, yes. I would earnestly apologize for mistaking Bertie be a fraud. I would explain the circumstantial evidence which really worked against him. The crest of a greyhound I had found in his mom’s letter and the present altered colour of his mom’s hair had clouded my judgement against him. I would admit that I could have offered at least two pounds to help him overcome the problem caused by his carelessness. I would express my regrets for leaving him behind furious and disappointed.
