These words describe the visual nature of the counter. "Comparatively deserted" references Mrs. Sommers' presence. She is the only thing on the counter; compared to her, the rest of the counter is deserted. These words give the reader some clues as to how to imagine the scene that is unfolding. Hope this helps.

Answer:

Explanation:

The terms used by the author highlighted the negative ways the rich French class and the ruling class viewed the poor workingman. The term louts for example means an uncouth or aggressive person while the term Jack was used to describe the ordinary man who rendered services to the rich.

The author's use of these terms would help the reader to see how lowly the government thought of the poor to the extent that they failed to consider them and were taken unawares at the peasants' revolt.
