What could the Governor have done to securely bring back Evans to the prison when he caught him at the Golden Lion? Does that final act of foolishness really prove that "he was just another good-for-a-giggle, gullible governor, that was all"?
When Stephens comes back to the cell he jumps to a conclusion and the whole machinery blindly goes by his assumption without even checking the identity of the injured 'McLeery'.

Reflecting on the story, what did you feel about Evans' having the last laugh?
Where did Evans go?
Will the clues left behind on the question paper, put Evans back in prison again?
Will the injured McLeery be able to help the prison officers track Evans?

Will the exam now go as scheduled?
What were the precautions taken for the smooth conduct of the examination?
Should criminals in the prison be given the opportunity of learning and education?
What kind of a person was Evans?
