Detailed explanation-1: -What evidence best supports the inference that Anil knew the narrator took his money? “I hurried back to the room feeling nervous.” “But when I took the note, I saw it was still wet from the night’s rain.” “In the morning he would probably have given me two or three rupees to go to the cinema, but now I had it all."
Detailed explanation-2: -Ans. Had Singh decided to come back to Anil because he felt that when Anil would come to know about the theft, he would feel sad, not for the loss of money but for the loss of trust. He did not want to lose his trust.
Detailed explanation-3: -When he found out that Hari had stolen the money, but had kept it back, he knew that it was Hari’s conscience that had made him do so. Hari could have easily run off with the money, but he did not. This made Anil give him another chance and build him into a better person that he could already see him becoming.
Detailed explanation-4: -Answer: The thief realised that Anil knew he had stolen his money because he found some of the notes still wet, as if they were taken out in the rain. He gave a fifty-rupee-note to Hari Singh the next morning, and he promised to give him more money, though he did not have any contract for giving any money.
