Question

Which sentence from this portion of the story suggests Negore may not be the coward everyone thinks he is?

"Black anger ate at his heart; but he gave no sign…"

"Negore's face was expressionless. For many minutes he stood and waited."

"He had followed the trail of his fleeing people for eleven days …"

"He looked, and was aware of a great yearning…"

Answer 1

both the sentences-
"Black anger ate at his heart; but he gave no sign…"
and
"He had followed the trail of his fleeing people for eleven days …"
imply that he is not really a coward. the first line itself implies that he usually hides his true emotions.
by the way, which book is this?
