No, the Bishop was not right in selling the salt-cellars. His own

Persome’s opinion before he sold the cellars, which belonged to
her too.
(b)
Persome feels that the people pretend to be sick because they want
the Bishop to call on them.

Jeanette was the convict’s wife. She died of disease and
hunger.

He means that he will not be fooled because he is too experienced.

The convict was sent to prison for stealing. He had stolen so that he
could buy his wife some food. He was sentenced to ten years in a
prison hulk.
(f)
The punishment given to the convict was not justified. It is too
inhuman for someone who was caught stealing just so that he could
feed his sick wife.

Before leaving, the convict asks the Bishop to bless him. The
