Answer 1

Answer:

a bicycle pump (and also books, if given)

Explanation:

"Araby" is one of the stories from James Joyce's set of stories, "Dubliners".

It is narrated from a young boy's point of view, living on New Richmond Street. The story begins with description of the street and then the house itself, giving information about previous occupant, a priest:

"The former tenant of our house, a priest, had died in the back drawing-room. Air, musty

from having been long enclosed, hung in all the rooms, and the waste room behind the

kitchen was littered with old useless papers. Among these I found a few paper-covered

books, the pages of which were curled and damp: The Abbot, by Walter Scott, The

Devout Communicant, and The Memoirs of Vidocq. I liked the last best because its

leaves were yellow. The wild garden behind the house contained a central apple-tree and

a few straggling bushes, under one of which I found the late tenant's rusty bicycle-pump."

According to a different source, this question refers to the story "Araby" by James Joyce. In this story, we meet a boy who describes a house located in New Richmond Street. The boy tells us that this house had previously been occupied by a priest who had died in the house. The priest had left behind some of his belongings, which were still in the house. These included lots of papers, old books and a bicycle pump.
