Answer
The passage describes a scene where Uncle Podger becomes frantic in searching for his handkerchief. However, he is unable to find it because it is actually in the pocket of the coat he had removed earlier. Unfortunately, he doesn’t remember where he had placed the coat. As a result, everyone in the house shifts their attention from searching for his tools to searching for his coat. Meanwhile, Uncle Podger adds to the chaos by dancing around and impeding their efforts.
