Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Handbook for Teachers of English: Questions and Topics for Study Based on Merrill's English Texts
State all that has been said previously about Captain Sentry. Compare his letter with the butler's telling Of Sir Roger's death, and with Will Honeycomb's tell ing of his retirement. Discuss his characterization of Sir Roger as that honest, plain man. Discuss the truth of his estimate of the relative values of the cold-hearted and warm-hearted man. What little absurdities of Sir Roger had been spoken of? Criti cise Captain Sentry's management of the estate; his plan for taxes and loans. Compare with Sir Andrew's plans. State why he thinks the soldier's profession the best; criticise his reasons. Show whether or not the whole letter is in keeping with what we have heard before of Captain Sentry.
