Evans Tries An O-Level
What kind of a person was Evans?
Evans was a ‘jail bird, and the prison officers called him “Evans the Break” since he had escaped from the prison three times. He looked ‘scruffy’ and unshaven. He wore a filthy looking red and white bobble hat on his head. He had a heavy Scottish accent. He was exceptionally cunning. He was a quite pleasant type of personality who used to participate in various functions. He used imitations and was the star of Christmas concerts. He had no record of violence. He was very crafty, strategic and a deceitful type of fellow who very meticulously arranged his escape from the prison.

What were the precautions taken for the smooth conduct of the examination?
Or

Do the Governor and his staff finally heave a sigh of relief?
Will the injured McLeery be able to help the prison officers trace Evans?
Will the clues left behind on the question paper put Evans back in prison again?
Where did Evans go?
Reflecting on the story, what did you feel about Evans having the last laugh?
When Stephens comes back to the cell he jumps to a conclusion and the whole machinery blindly goes by his assumption without even checking the identity of the injured “McLeery.” Does this show how hasty conjectures prevent one from seeing the obvious? How is the criminal able to predict such negligence?
What could the Governor have done to securely bring back Evans to prison when he caught him at The Golden Lion? Does that final act of foolishness really prove that ‘he was just another good-for-a-giggle, gullible Governor, that was all’?
