1. Paraphrase.
1) Then the two men looked at each other briefly and severely and immediately Mr. Crowther went
on with his reading,
while Mr. Harraby-Ribston went back to his seat,
sat down again breathing quickly,
because
he had made such an effort to throw the suitcase
out of the window.
2) He was the kind of man who likes to talk and enjoys company, and had guessed that what he did

an interesting conversation, which he thought he
deserved.

he
pretended
to
be

he
was
very
much
surprised
when
he
saw
a
rich
gentleman throwing
a suitcase from the window of a moving train.

decided no to react, because he didn't
want to give that man this satisfaction.

naturally would rather speak than

which I want to bury
forever.
