00:05

Brought to you by bargain price hotels the kind where

00:08

they change the sheets every day but only from one

00:11

room to the next Yeah dirty sheets Okay check the

00:15

following passage and was a manager G wells bramble hers

00:20

coaches horses portmanteau parlour spelled british Yeah this whole and

00:26

millie Good thing the kid millie what's that a class

00:29

anyway on sprinkle shoulders No bigger question I keep going

00:35

Okay we're done the word haggler as used in the

00:39

second sentence of paragraph two Right there most nearly means

00:43

what And here the essential answers don't go She is

00:47

the love that we all write once again A little

00:50

context is all we need to get this answer right

00:54

A guest to stop dipping in the wintertime was an

00:58

unheard of piece of luck let alone a guest who

01:01

was no hagler And she was resolved to show herself

01:04

worthy of her good fortune Alright well an important thing

01:08

to pick up on here is that whatever a haggler

01:10

is mrs hall is glad the stranger ain't one so

01:15

let's start by nixing answer b it's True that mrs

01:18

hall was probably glad that the stranger isn't a person

01:20

who's broke However if this is what hagler means then

01:23

the way the sentences phrase makes it kind of sounds

01:25

like mrs hall sometimes let broke people stay at her

01:28

in there's nothing in the pastures to make us think

01:30

that mrs hall's ever this charitable and or batted business

01:34

the same thing goes for option c yeah there's a

01:36

good chance that mrs always glad the stranger isn't a

01:39

homeless drifter However we don't see any evidence to suggest

01:43

that mrs all ever turned to place into a shelter

01:45

for the homeless soup kitchens are great but well they

01:48

don't exactly pay the bills he's not in this era

01:51

He is a definite knows well First the passengers doesn't

01:54

say anything about whether mrs hall cares about fashion one

01:56

way or the other but if she did chances are

01:59

she wouldn't be all that impressed with the strangers wrapped

02:01

from head to toe Weird sunglasses ensemble if hagler men

02:06

somebody with no fashion well then the stranger would be

02:09

one Yeah the correct answer is a mrs hall's Glad

02:12

because the stranger isn't the kind of person tries to

02:14

bargain down the products like he pays retail What kind

02:17

of person is this He burst into the place flings

02:20

a few sovereigns coins money on the table and take

02:23

the room He doesn't haggle over the cost They just
