Answer the following questions briefly.
"Tortured by doubt and remorse, he sat down in the glow of the charcoal sigri to wait." Who is tortured by doubt and remorse? Why? What is he waiting for?
The postmaster was tortured by doubt and remorse. He was currently waiting for a letter from his daughter who was ill and lived far away from him. He was feeling remorseful because he had been unsympathetic and indifferent to a father's anxiety and suffering from the separation that he was currently suffering from. Ali had waited patiently for a letter from his daughter for five long years in spite of his old age, poor health, weather, constant disappointment and hopelessness, and pain of isolation but the postmaster had rudely rejected the old man's efforts and endurance. Now he felt doubtful of his daughter's health and the arrival of her letter because he was haunted by grief and regret.
