उत्तर
In Act III, Scene III of "The Tempest," Ariel delivers a stern warning to the "three men of sin" - Alonso, Sebastian, and Antonio. This warning has a profound impact on the three sinners, marking a crucial moment in the play's development. Positioned high above the stage, Prospero observes with satisfaction the consequences of his spells on those who conspired against him twelve years ago. After the shipwreck, the guilty ones, including Old Gonzalo, have been wandering in the enchanted island's pathless wilderness, searching for the missing Ferdinand.
The magical sequence takes the form of a masque of hospitality, resembling an episode from Virgil's Aeneid. Ariel, appearing as a harpy, explains the significance of the disrupted harmony, fellowship, and natural order symbolized by the ceremonial banquet. This disruption is attributed to the 'three men of sin,' and Ariel insists they must recognize the magnitude of their offenses. The injury to Prospero is portrayed as an affront to the entire scheme of things, making them unfit to live amongst men. They have been rejected and vomited up by the sea.
Ariel's warning leaves the sinners with only one hope - repentance and a change in their ways, marked by 'heart's sorrow' and the pursuit of a clear life. Prospero commends Ariel for the harpy performance and departs, leaving the sinners to grapple with the fearsome accusation. Alonso acknowledges his guilt, expressing it as monstrous. Sebastian and Antonio remain defiant, while Gonzalo, despite unclear understanding, appears to comprehend the gravity of the situation. The impact of Ariel's warning sets the stage for potential redemption and self-reflection among the 'three men of sin.'

“And you had to leave them?” I asked.

Easton, with a little laugh, as if amused, was about to speak again when the other forestalled him. The glum-faced man had been watching the girl’s countenance with veiled glances from his keen, shrewd eyes.
“You’ll excuse me for speaking, miss, but, I see you’re acquainted with the marshall here. If you’ll ask him to speak a word for me when we get to the pen he’ll do it, and it’ll make things easier for me there. He’s taking me to Leavenworth prison. It’s seven years for counterfeiting.”
“Oh!” said the girl, with a deep breath and returning color. “So that is what you are doing out here? A marshal!”
“My dear Miss Fairchild,” said Easton, calmly, “I had to do something. Money has a way of taking wings unto itself, and you know it takes money to keep step with our crowd in Washington. I saw this opening in the West, and—well, a marshalship isn’t quite as high a position as that of ambassador, but—”

Mr. Oliver, an Anglo-Indian teacher, was returning to his school late one night on the outskirts of the hill station of Shimla.
