Question

Read the line from the passage and answer the question that follows.

'What are your immediate plans, Bertie?'
'Well, I rather thought of tottering out for a bite of lunch later on, and then possibly staggering round to the club, and after that, if I felt strong enough, I might trickle off to Walton Heath for a round of golf.'
'I am not interested in your totterings and tricklings. I mean, have you any important engagements in the next week or so?'
I scented danger.
'Rather,' I said. 'Heaps! Millions! Booked solid!'
How does this passage refine the story's overall theme?

Answer 1

Bertie is a busy person with many important responsibilities to attend to.
Aunt Agatha is careful not to intrude on any plans that Bertie may already have made.
Most of the story's key events tell about Bertie's experiences eating lunch and playing golf.
Aunt Agatha does not consider Bertie's day-to-day activities to be very important.

Answer 2

'I am not interested in your totterings and tricklings. I mean, have you any important engagements in the next week or so?'

This tells me that Aunt Agatha doesn't really care about the daily activities Bertie just described

Answer 3
