In the early February it was a biting cold.A strange walked from the Bramble hurst station with the little black, old fashion suitcase and came to inn in named 'Coach and Horses'. He was the dog tired flakes had settled down on his body. Mrs Hall, the owner of the inn, found herself lucky to have a customer winter time. He gave her some gold coins as an advance for the room. The room was Costywith the burning fire . The stranger always looked out of the window . Mrs Hall offered to dry his coat but he refused. He hid his face with a muffled and bandage head and he looked odd and strange in appearance. He did not prefer to get in a dialogue with her. she could not see his face because his forehead above blue glasses was covered by a white bandage. Only his pink , peaked nose was visible.

Mrs Hall thought that the guest must have met with a serious accident. She sympathized with him but he spoke nothing . Aloofness on the part of the stranger was upsetting. He told her that he wanted his luggage, lying at the station brought to thei inn . Mrs. Hall explained that it was a steep road down and was risky.She still assured him that is luggage would be brought by tomorrow.

The visitor warned Mrs Hall that he did not want anybody coming again and again to his room to disturb him. His snubs very much irritated Mrs Hall . she kept quiet because she considered him a minting machine for her.

During his stay still early hours stranger kept to his room , perhaps dozing and pacing room for a few minutes he was lost and himself.
