Question

The cause of Miss Mabel’s disappointment is not only her poor background in the past but her too much bookishness also Substantiate.

Answer 1

To a certain extent this is true. She keeps thinking about the depressing lines she has read written by Shakespeare; she also keeps thinking of the story of the fly and the saucer, and how she is a fly and the others are dragonflies, butterflies and beautiful insects. Probably her over-active imagination, which led to her continuous disappointment with various things, was also due to extensive reading.
