What expressions did Mr Thompson find on the little girl's face after he returned home?Ans : When Mr Thompson returned back home he observed the light shining in the chamber in which Maggie was kept. He considered it a good omen. It was dark enough outside to screen him from the observation. Maggie was lying on the bed with her head little raised on the pillow. His wife was sitting beside her and talking to her. The light fell upon Maggie's face and Thompson could see that her eyes were fixed upon his wife. Every now and then a few words came as if in answers from her lips. There were sadness and tenderness in her expression but no pain or bitterness. This sight lifted the heavyweight from his heart.
