How did Sletherby’s judgment of Bertie turn out to be a wrong one?

थोडक्यात उत्तर
Advertisements

उत्तर

Sletherby concluded that Bertie was a fraud. He compared his looks with that of his mom. The footman of Mrs.Saltpen-Jago while describing her appearance, said that she had altered her looks only five weeks ago. She had changed her dark brown hair to a blonde. Sletherby also saw the double crest of the royal family on the door panel of the car which displayed a demi-lion and a greyhound courant. The evidence which made Mr. Sletherby believe that Bertie must have been a fraud turned out to be solid evidence ‘ indicating Bertie’s genuineness as a legal heir of Mrs. Saltpen-Jago. Sletherby realized

with alarm that Bertie had not lied to him, but he had mistaken an honest man in trouble to be an impostor. Sotheby's political future was heading to a disaster simply because he refused to lend three pounds to a young man in trouble. He was penny-wise and pound foolish.
