Answer:
A Quaker was, one day, walking on a country road. He was suddenly met by a highwayman pointing a pistol. The man exclaimed, "Your money or your life!" "My friend," said the Quaker, "I cannot deliver my money for I should be helping thee in evildoing, however, exchange is lawful and I will give thee my purse for the pistol." The robber agreed on receiving the purse. The Quaker at once held the pistol at the robber's head and said, "Now friend, my purse back or the weapon may go off!" "Fire," the robber said, "there is no powder in the pistol."

Could somebody please check it and let me know if it's all correct? Although I am confident it is, but since I don't have any guidance around, I thought I should ask an expert online. I will be grateful if somebody, who has a command over the subject, gives it a quick read and respond. Thank you

Answer:
A Quaker was, one day, [no need of commas here] walking on a country road. He was suddenly met by a highwayman, pointing a pistol. The man exclaimed, "Your money or your life!" "My friend," said the Quaker, "I cannot deliver my money for I should be helping thee in evildoing; however; exchange is lawful, and I will give thee my purse for the pistol."[".] The robber agreed on receiving the purse. The Quaker at once held the pistol at the robber's head and said, "Now friend, my purse back or the weapon may go off!" "Fire," [simply go off fire] the robber said, "there is no powder in the pistol."
This has been checked/compared with the Solution key I do have.
