Q.'He looked at her mutely like an animal'-Who  looked at whom?  What was the situation when this occurred? 2016

Ans : In R. K Narayan 's short story "Leela's Friend " Sidda looked at Leela mutely like an animal. 

One evening Sidda went out to buy sugar and Leela went with him. Her mother noticed that a gold chain Leela had been wearing was missing. Leela's mother put blame on Sidda and the incident was reported to the police. Four days later, Sidda was brought to the house by a police inspector and constable. Leela was overjoyed to see Sidda back. She wanted him to be released. She said that Sidda had not taken the chain. When the constable took Sidda by the hand to take him back to the police station, Leela clung Sidda 's hand. At that time the incident occurred.
