Does Mr. Boggis get what he wants at the end of the story? Explain.
Answer
No, Mr. Boggis does not get what he wants. He wanted the rare Chippendale commode intact to sell for a high price. However, because he tricked the owners into thinking only the legs were valuable, they cut off the legs to make it easier for him to transport, thus destroying the piece's value.
