How was Teddy Henfrey received at the inn by Mrs. Hall? How did the strange man respond to teddy’s arrival in his room? |

Answer» Teddy Henfrey was received gladly by Mrs. Hall when he visited her bar. She was all the more happy to see him carrying his tool-bag. Actually, his arrival gave her the brilliant idea of entering the guest’s room on the pretext of getting the parlour clock repaired. Hence the clock-jobber was very well welcomed by the lady. However, when he visited the guest’s room, he missed the warmth that he had experienced earlier in the bar. After a cold ‘good morning ‘the stranger silently started at Teddy working at the clock. In an attempt to break the silence of the room Teddy tried to get into some sort of conservation with the guest. The Strange man however snubbed him curtly. Rather, he rebuked Teddy for prolonging the job that needed just fixing of the hour hand on the axel. Embarrassed by the snubbing, Henfrey finished the work quickly and left the room. |
