Direction: To understand better what you have learned about Direct and Indirect Speech, read this passage “The Signal Man” in which Dickens uses direct speech, then try to change all direct speech to indirect speech.
“You look at me”, I said, forcing a smile, “as if you had a dread of me.” “I was doubtful,” he returned, “whether I had seen you before.”
“Where?”
He pointed to the red light he had looked at.
“There?” I said.
Intently watchful of me, he replied (but without sound), “Yes.”
“My good fellow, what should I do there? However, be that as it may, I never was there, you may swear.”
“I think I may,” he rejoined. “Yes. I am sure I may.”
