1. Gandhi ji agreed for 25% share because for the first time Britishers have surrendered a part of their wealth and with it a part of prestige . According to him amount was not much important .
2. William Douglas speaks about the misadventure at YMCA pool. One day a big bruiser boy came and greeted douglas as skinny . Later he put Douglas in 9 ft deep water of Yakima River. Douglas  was terrified inside water , he planned his way out of it but was unable to do the same. Every time he tried to come up his leg would paralyse. This incident made him water phobic.
3. There would be an exotic moment if everyone is quiet and there is no noise of engines. This moment will initiate peace and brotherhood .
4. the peddler did not reveal his identity because he hoped that ironmaster misunderstanding him as his old acquaintance would give him some money. 
5. Derry insisted to go back to Mr. Lamb to prove himself that he no more gets affected by comments of others and to show that he believes in himself.
