Chapter 2 — A Sight
You will find the word 'gaol', this is an archaic spelling of the word 'jail'.
Read the chapter, answer the following questions, watch the course hero video.
What was Jerry doing at Tellson's bank?
What was the case being tried at court? Or rather the charge being tried according to the clerk at Tellson's?
Look up and define 'Old Bailey"
How is quartering described?
What facts can we discover about the gentleman on trial?
What is the mood of the people in the courtroom?
Can you summarize the judges charge of the accusecd? ( Read after 'Silence the court!')
Do you have a guess as to who the two people on the defendant's left are?
You do not know who certain people are in the book, they are not named. But Course Hero gives it away. It takes away a bit of the fun of the mystery, but oh well, it's ok. Be sure to watch video after attempting to answer questions yourself.
