Question
Mention the immediate steps taken by Lord Weston to protect himself from his assassin.
Advertisements
Solution
He had all the doors except the kitchen bolted and locked from within. He wanted to diffuse allegedly a parcel deemed to contain a bomb, by keeping it soaked completely in a pail of water. He ordered the gardener to sit under the Ilex tree so that snipers can’t have an access point to shoot at him. He sent all the servants away.
