- #3'Here the linked couple seated themselves'. How was the two couple linked? What do you understand by this?Ans : There was too much crowd on the Eastbound B. & M. Express in one coach, a pretty young stylish woman was sitting. The two young men, who were handcuffed together, entered the coach. One of them was fair and handsome and other was rough and strongly built. They were linked together as they couldn't be separated from each other. The handcuff had tied them.
It means that one of them must be a criminal and the other a policeman.
