Detailed explanation-1: -Within minutes, about thirty feet of gleaming black metal drew up outside the surgery. The chauffeur opened the door and I could just make out the figure of Mrs Pumphrey almost lost in the interior. Her hands were tightly clasped in front of her; her lips trembled. “Oh, Mr Herriot, do tell me the truth.
Detailed explanation-2: -Dear student, ‘Thirty feet of gleaming black metal’ refers to a limousine/fancy car in which Mrs Pumphrey drove to the surgery.
Detailed explanation-3: -Finally, when she calls upon the narrator to take her recovered dog back home, she comes in a chauffer-driven “thirty feet of gleaming black metal” (an obvious reference to a limousine). All these instances point to the fact that Mrs Pumphrey lived a luxurious life.
Detailed explanation-4: -Answer: The moral of the chapter is that anything in excess is not good for us. Even food, if given more than it is required will harm the body, but if in time you come into a proper routine that problem can be resolved without any surgery.
Detailed explanation-5: -Explanation: The figure of speech used in the chapter “A TRIUMPH OF SURGERY”, is irony.
