Instead
of
"
seeing
'
bout
it
,
"
however
,
Hall
on
his
return
was
severely
rated
by
his
wife
on
the
length
of
time
he
had
spent
in
Sidderbridge
,
and
his
mild
inquiries
were
answered
snappishly
and
in
a
manner
not
to
the
point
.
But
the
seed
of
suspicion
Teddy
had
sown
germinated
in
the
mind
of
Mr.
Hall
in
spite
of
these
discouragements
.
"
You
wim
'
do
n't
know
everything
,
"
said
Mr.
Hall
,
resolved
to
ascertain
more
about
the
personality
of
his
guest
at
the
earliest
possible
opportunity
.
And
after
the
stranger
had
gone
to
bed
,
which
he
did
about
half-past
nine
,
Mr.
Hall
went
very
aggressively
into
the
parlour
and
looked
very
hard
at
his
wife
's
furniture
,
just
to
show
that
the
stranger
was
n't
master
there
,
and
scrutinised
closely
and
a
little
contemptuously
a
sheet
of
mathematical
computations
the
stranger
had
left
.
When
retiring
for
the
night
he
instructed
Mrs.
Hall
to
look
very
closely
at
the
stranger
's
luggage
when
it
came
next
day
.
"
You
mind
your
own
business
,
Hall
,
"
said
Mrs.
Hall
,
"
and
I
'll
mind
mine
.
"
She
was
all
the
more
inclined
to
snap
at
Hall
because
the
stranger
was
undoubtedly
an
unusually
strange
sort
of
stranger
,
and
she
was
by
no
means
assured
about
him
in
her
own
mind
.
In
the
middle
of
the
night
she
woke
up
dreaming
of
huge
white
heads
like
turnips
,
that
came
trailing
after
her
,
at
the
end
of
interminable
necks
,
and
with
vast
black
eyes
.
But
being
a
sensible
woman
,
she
subdued
her
terrors
and
turned
over
and
went
to
sleep
again
.
So
it
was
that
on
the
twenty-ninth
day
of
February
,
at
the
beginning
of
the
thaw
,
this
singular
person
fell
out
of
infinity
into
Iping
village
.
Next
day
his
luggage
arrived
through
the
slush
--
and
very
remarkable
luggage
it
was
.
There
were
a
couple
of
trunks
indeed
,
such
as
a
rational
man
might
need
,
but
in
addition
there
were
a
box
of
books
--
big
,
fat
books
,
of
which
some
were
just
in
an
incomprehensible
handwriting
--
and
a
dozen
or
more
crates
,
boxes
,
and
cases
,
containing
objects
packed
in
straw
,
as
it
seemed
to
Hall
,
tugging
with
a
casual
curiosity
at
the
straw
--
glass
bottles
.
The
stranger
,
muffled
in
hat
,
coat
,
gloves
,
and
wrapper
,
came
out
impatiently
to
meet
Fearenside
's
cart
,
while
Hall
was
having
a
word
or
so
of
gossip
preparatory
to
helping
bring
them
in
.
Out
he
came
,
not
noticing
Fearenside
's
dog
,
who
was
sniffing
in
a
dilettante
spirit
at
Hall
's
legs
.
"
Come
along
with
those
boxes
,
"
he
said
.
"
I
've
been
waiting
long
enough
.
"
And
he
came
down
the
steps
towards
the
tail
of
the
cart
as
if
to
lay
hands
on
the
smaller
crate
.
No
sooner
had
Fearenside
's
dog
caught
sight
of
him
,
however
,
than
it
began
to
bristle
and
growl
savagely
,
and
when
he
rushed
down
the
steps
it
gave
an
undecided
hop
,
and
then
sprang
straight
at
his
hand
.
"
Whup
!
"
cried
Hall
,
jumping
back
,
for
he
was
no
hero
with
dogs
,
and
Fearenside
howled
,
"
Lie
down
!
"
and
snatched
his
whip
.
They
saw
the
dog
's
teeth
had
slipped
the
hand
,
heard
a
kick
,
saw
the
dog
execute
a
flanking
jump
and
get
home
on
the
stranger
's
leg
,
and
heard
the
rip
of
his
trousering
.
Then
the
finer
end
of
Fearenside
's
whip
reached
his
property
,
and
the
dog
,
yelping
with
dismay
,
retreated
under
the
wheels
of
the
waggon
.
It
was
all
the
business
of
a
swift
half-minute
.
No
one
spoke
,
everyone
shouted
.
The
stranger
glanced
swiftly
at
his
torn
glove
and
at
his
leg
,
made
as
if
he
would
stoop
to
the
latter
,
then
turned
and
rushed
swiftly
up
the
steps
into
the
inn
.
They
heard
him
go
headlong
across
the
passage
and
up
the
uncarpeted
stairs
to
his
bedroom
.
"
You
brute
,
you
!
"
said
Fearenside
,
climbing
off
the
waggon
with
his
whip
in
his
hand
,
while
the
dog
watched
him
through
the
wheel
.
"
Come
here
,
"
said
Fearenside
--
"
You
'd
better
.
"
Hall
had
stood
gaping
.
"
He
wuz
bit
,
"
said
Hall
.
"
I
'd
better
go
and
see
to
en
,
"
and
he
trotted
after
the
stranger
.
He
met
Mrs.
Hall
in
the
passage
.
"
Carrier
's
darg
,
"
he
said
"
bit
en
.
