"goodness gracious! is that you, mr. bumble, sir? " said mrs. mann, thrusting her head out of the window in well-affected ecstasies of joy. "(susan, take oliver and them two brats upstairs, and wash 'em heart alive! mr. bumble, how glad i am to see you, sure-ly! "

now, mr. bumble was a fat man, and a choleric; so, instead of responding to this open-hearted salutation in a kindred spirit, he gave the little wicket a tremendous shake, and then bestowed upon it a kick which could have emanated from no leg but a beadle's.

"lor, only think," said mrs. mann, running out,—for the three boys had been removed by this time,—'only think of that! that i should have forgotten that the gate was bolted on the inside, on account of them dear children! walk in sir; walk in, pray, mr. bumble, do, sir."

although this invitation was accompanied with a curtsey that might have softened the heart of a church-warden, it by no means mollified the beadle.

"do you think this respectful or proper conduct, mrs. mann," inquired mr. bumble, grasping his cane, "to keep the parish officers a waiting at your garden-gate, when they come here upon porochial business with the porochial orphans? are you aweer, mrs. mann, that you are, as i may say, a porochial delegate, and a stipendiary? "

what does mr. bumble's cane symbolize in the passage?

a. his social ineptitude

b. his extreme insecurity

c. his self-conscious displays of authority

d. his ability to handle difficult situations

Read the excerpt from elie wiesel’s all rivers run to the sea. why were those trains allowed to roll unhindered into poland? why were the tracks leading to birkenau never bombed? i have put these questions to american presidents and generals and to high-ranking soviet officers. since moscow and washington knew what the killers were doing in the death camps, why was nothing done at least to slow down their “production”? that not a single allied military aircraft ever tried to destroy the rail lines converging on auschwitz remains an outrageous enigma to me. birkenau was “processing” ten thousand jews a day. stopping a single convoy for a single night—or even for just a few hours—would have prolonged so many lives. based on the paragraph, the author would most likely agree that it is best to avoid confrontation at all costs. people need to be proactive when they witness an injustice. countries should remain neutral to keep alliances strong. moscow and washington are to be blamed for the holocaust.
