    Q1 : What was the author’s opinion about Mr Gessler as a bootmaker?

    Answer :
    The author had a high opinion about Mr Gessler as a bootmaker. Heknew that Mr Gessler made only what was ordered, and the boots that he made never failed to fit. The author felt that to make such boots as Mr Gessler did seemed mysterious and wonderful.

    Answer :
    The author visited the shop so infrequently because the boots made by Mr Gessler lasted for a long time.


    Q3 : What was the effect on Mr Gessler of the author’s remark about a certain pair of boots?

    Answer :
    When the author remarked that a certain pair of boots he had got earlier creaked, Mr Gessler looked at him for a time without replying, as if expecting him to withdraw or qualify the statement. Then, he said that the shoes should not have creaked. He then asked the author to send the boots back, and if he could do nothing of them, he would take them off his bill.


    Q4 : What was Mr Gessler’s complaint against ‘big firms”?

    Answer :
    Mr Gessler’s complaint against big firms was that they got customers only because of advertising, and not because of any quality work. Mr Gessler, who loved his job and who used to make good quality boots, had very little work because people preferred the big firms.


    Q5 : Why did the author order so many pairs of boots? Did he really need them?

    Answer :
    The author knew that Mr Gessler made good quality boots. Every single pair of boots was good enough to last a long time. He came to know from Mr Gessler himself that in spite of his love for his job he could not get much work. This was because people preferred buying boots from big firms. Seeing his hardship and struggle, the author decided to order many pairs of boots even though he really did not really need them.
