At
such
times
the
slightest
disturbance
,
the
entry
of
a
stranger
into
the
room
,
is
a
source
of
excruciating
annoyance
to
me
--
it
is
well
these
things
should
be
understood
.
"
"
Certainly
,
sir
,
"
said
Mrs.
Hall
.
"
And
if
I
might
make
so
bold
as
to
ask
--
"
"
That
I
think
,
is
all
,
"
said
the
stranger
,
with
that
quietly
irresistible
air
of
finality
he
could
assume
at
will
.
Mrs.
Hall
reserved
her
question
and
sympathy
for
a
better
occasion
.
After
Mrs.
Hall
had
left
the
room
,
he
remained
standing
in
front
of
the
fire
,
glaring
,
so
Mr.
Henfrey
puts
it
,
at
the
clock-mending
.
Mr.
Henfrey
not
only
took
off
the
hands
of
the
clock
,
and
the
face
,
but
extracted
the
works
;
and
he
tried
to
work
in
as
slow
and
quiet
and
unassuming
a
manner
as
possible
.
He
worked
with
the
lamp
close
to
him
,
and
the
green
shade
threw
a
brilliant
light
upon
his
hands
,
and
upon
the
frame
and
wheels
,
and
left
the
rest
of
the
room
shadowy
.
When
he
looked
up
,
coloured
patches
swam
in
his
eyes
.
Being
constitutionally
of
a
curious
nature
,
he
had
removed
the
works
--
a
quite
unnecessary
proceeding
--
with
the
idea
of
delaying
his
departure
and
perhaps
falling
into
conversation
with
the
stranger
.
But
the
stranger
stood
there
,
perfectly
silent
and
still
.
So
still
,
it
got
on
Henfrey
's
nerves
.
He
felt
alone
in
the
room
and
looked
up
,
and
there
,
grey
and
dim
,
was
the
bandaged
head
and
huge
blue
lenses
staring
fixedly
,
with
a
mist
of
green
spots
drifting
in
front
of
them
.
It
was
so
uncanny
to
Henfrey
that
for
a
minute
they
remained
staring
blankly
at
one
another
.
Then
Henfrey
looked
down
again
.
Very
uncomfortable
position
!
One
would
like
to
say
something
.
Should
he
remark
that
the
weather
was
very
cold
for
the
time
of
year
?
He
looked
up
as
if
to
take
aim
with
that
introductory
shot
.
"
The
weather
--
"
he
began
.
"
Why
do
n't
you
finish
and
go
?
"
said
the
rigid
figure
,
evidently
in
a
state
of
painfully
suppressed
rage
.
"
All
you
've
got
to
do
is
to
fix
the
hour-hand
on
its
axle
.
You
're
simply
humbugging
--
"
"
Certainly
,
sir
--
one
minute
more
.
I
overlooked
--
"
and
Mr.
Henfrey
finished
and
went
.
But
he
went
feeling
excessively
annoyed
.
"
Damn
it
!
"
said
Mr.
Henfrey
to
himself
,
trudging
down
the
village
through
the
thawing
snow
;
"
a
man
must
do
a
clock
at
times
,
surely
.
"
And
again
,
"
Ca
n't
a
man
look
at
you
?
--
Ugly
!
"
And
yet
again
,
"
Seemingly
not
.
If
the
police
was
wanting
you
you
could
n't
be
more
wropped
and
bandaged
.
"
