The above mentioned sentence is said by Franz when his turn came
and his name was announced to recite the rule of the participle
Franz was supposed to learn these rule of participle that he had
been procrastinating for long Upon knowing the fact that it was
their last french lesson, he was remorseful and felt guilty that he
should have learnt the language more seriously as it was the mother
tongue He thought that at least that he should have recited the
rules flawlessly
