Which three sentences in this excerpt from "Quality" by John Galsworthy show that the writer admired the boots that the boot maker had crafted? That tenement had a certain quiet distinction; there was no sign upon its face that he made for any of the Royal Familyâmerely his own German name of Gessler Brothers; and in the window a few pairs of boots. I remember that it always troubled me to account for those unvarying boots in the window, for he made only what was ordered, reaching nothing down, and it seemed so inconceivable that what he made could ever have failed to fit. Had he bought them to put there? That, too, seemed inconceivable. He would never have tolerated in his house leather on which he had not worked himself. Besides, they were too beautifulâthe pair of pumps, so inexpressibly slim, the patent leathers with cloth tops, making water come into one's mouth, the tall brown riding boots with marvellous sooty glow, as if, though new, they had been worn a hundred years. Those pairs could only have been made by one who saw before him the Soul of Bootâso truly were they prototypes incarnating the very spirit of all foot-gear. These thoughts, of course, came to me later, though even when I was promoted to him, at the age of perhaps fourteen, some inkling haunted me of the dignity of himself and brother. For to make bootsâsuch boots as he madeâseemed to me then, and still seems to me, mysterious and wonderful. I remember well my shy remark, one day, while stretching out to him my youthful foot: "Isn't it awfully hard to do, Mr. Gessler?" And his answer, given with a sudden smile from out of the sardonic redness of his beard: "Id is an Ardt!"

Which sentence from this passage explains what the main characters do in rosencrantz and guildenstern are dead? "tom stoppard's play, rosencrantz and guildenstern are dead, draws on two previous theatrical works: shakespeare's hamlet and samuel beckett's waiting for godot." "as in beckett's play, rosencrantz and guildenstern pass the time by impersonating other characters, engaging in word play, and remaining silent for long periods of time." "these same two characters were also featured in a parody of hamlet, the short comic play by w. s. gilbert entitled rosencrantz and guildenstern." "gilbert's play makes rosencrantz and guildenstern into central characters and alters the storyline of hamlet."
