The halls were extremely scared, the sight of different objects flying all over the guest parlour. Uncertain about what to do under the circumstances, they sent for Mr. Sandy wadgers, the blacksmith, who had the reputation of being knowledgeable and resourceful. The halls badly needed some moral support at this point of time. Moreover, they looked forward to get some sane advice from this man in whose wisdom they had a lot of faith. In addition to this, Mr. Wager lived just across the lane, so it was easy to approach him. He could have reached them the earliest. Hence they sent Millie to call him. Mr. wager reached the inn at once and listened carefully to the whole story as expected from a good neighbor who had been approached for help. Employing all his wisdom and knowledge in this regard, he concluded for the welfare of halls, he suggested that the evil should be warded off at once. This, he said, could be done effectively by using a horseshoe. As a blacksmith, this was perhaps the best he could think of.

However, he did not go to the parlour to check things for himself even when the halls wanted him to and he preferred to talk in the passage itself.
