उत्तर

The young man who entered the coach gave out a smothered curse. He was engaged in searching for something elusive angrily and uselessly. From time to time, he dug a sixpenny bit out of a waistcoat pocket and stared at it sadly, then resumed his search. He voluntarily broke the silence. He exclaimed that Mr. Sletherby was going to Bill Manor. He introduced himself as Bertie, the younger son of Mrs. Saltpen-Jago. He admitted that he was away for about six months and had not seen his own mother. Making use of the lucky coincidence that he was going to Brill Manor, he asked for a loan of three pounds as he had lost his sovereign purse and was desperately in need of help. He promised to meet him on the subsequent Monday.
“There is no need to suffer silently and there is no shame in seeking help.”
