Question

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes,
had a great sense of delicacy ① where other persons'
feelings were concerned. He once paid a visit to George
Meredith, the novelist, when Meredith was old and weak.
Meredith suffered from an unusual disease that caused him ②
to fall occasionally. The two men were walking up a path
toward Meredith's summerhouse, Conan Doyle in the lead,
when Conan Doyle heard the old novelist fall behind him. He
judged by the sound ③ which the fall was a mere slip and
could not have hurt Meredith. Therefore, he did not turn and
he strode on as if he ④ had heard nothing. "He was a
fiercely proud old man," Conan Doyle later □□□□□.
