Question

How does General Canynge react when De Levis first accuses Dancy of committing the theft? What is your opinion of De Levis?
Give one reason to justify your answer.

Answer 1

Canynge reacts outrageously by saying that Dancy was a soldier and a gentleman, and that was an extraordinary insinuation.
De Levis was not at fault when he wanted his money back. But everyone supported Dancy as he was a Christian and cornered De Levis as he was a Jew. He was blackballed from the London Club. People tolerated him only because he had money and attacked him like a pack of hounds. His generosity can be seen when he announces to give one thousand pounds in charity.
