Why was the old woman afraid that Andrew would leave the case
Dear student,
Here is the answer:
The old woman was in the room when Andrew stepped in. The room was a small bedroom. It was clean but poorly furnished and only an oil lamp was used to light up the room. The old woman was looking at Andrew when he stepped into the room. She feared that looking at the state of the room Andrew might refuse to take up the case,
She offered to make him a cup of tea during the period of waiting, so that Andrew would be occupied and he would not be tempted to leave. Andrew assured the old woman that he would not leave the case at all.
Regards
