Mr. Lamb pretended that he had many friends. Why? What does his frustration on Derry's questions about his friends show?

Solution

Mr. Lamb told Derry that he had many friends, who came to visit him. He wanted to tell Derry that he was not living a lonely life, that his disfigured existence was accepted by the society because he was receptive towards it. But Derry insisted on to tell their names. Mr. Lamb became frustrated and left. This shows that Lamb was just pretending and was leading a lonely life.
