Jim was in love with Riddle’s sister.

• I’m afraid that’s wrong

• That’s (quite) right

“I am sure”, said Jim, “that Rosy will not change her mind again.”

• That’s (quite) right.

• That’s not quite true to the fact

Jim was not frank and never talked of Rosy.

• I’m afraid that’s wrong

• That’s not quite true to the fact. 

• That’s (quite) right.

“I shall give Rosy the drug when I see her at breakfast tomorrow morning,” said

Jim.

• I’m afraid that’s wrong.

• That’s (quite) right. 

• That’s not quite true to the fact

Pilkins told Jim that he himself was in love with Rosy.

• I’m afraid that’s wrong

• That’s not quite true to the fact. 

• That’s (quite) right

“My room is just under Rosy’s room. I will go there myself before supper and

wait for her”, said old Riddle.

• I’m afraid that’s wrong

• That’s (quite) right

As Pilkins had learned the outcome of the tragedy that night, he did not go to old

Riddle’s in the morning.

• I’m afraid that’s wrong

• That’s (quite) right. 

• That’s not quite true to the fact.
