SUMMARY OF CHAPTER 4. MR. CUSS INTERVIEWS THE STRANGER
Money Kept Mrs Hall Mum
The narrator tells us that nothing much happened later, but two incidents would certainly draw reader’s attention.
The stranger kept having small issues with Mrs Hall over his domestic demeanour, but he always shut her up by asking her to bill him extra.
The Stranger was a Loner
The stranger did not go to church. However, there were days when he would work round the clock and days when he wouldn’t work at all.
His behaviour was always unpredictable. He was also violent sometimes. He had no communication with the outside world and rarely went out in broad daylight.
The stranger was Talk of the Town
The stranger had become the talk of the town. Opinion was greatly divided about his occupation. Mrs Hall kept defending her guest by saying that the man was an ‘experimental investigator’ and he had an accident which had left him discoloured.
Some thought that he was a criminal and thus, remained in hiding. Then, there were talks of him being a piebald. But all of the Iping disliked him.
Mr Cuss was Curious
Mr Cuss, the general practitioner, was very much interested in the stranger. He wanted to know why the man possessed a thousand and one bottles. He used the excuse of a nurse fund and visited the stranger. While the two men were talking, Mrs stood outside and tried to hear what was happening.
She heard a cry of surprise, then a curious laughter and then Cuss Appeared. No sooner that he had appeared, Mr Cuss ran across the hall and right down the road.
“A Most Remarkable Story”
Mr Cuss went straight to Mr Bunting, the Vicar. He thought that he had gone mad. He started narrating the things that he had just seen. He told Mr Bunting that the stranger was a man of irritable temper.
He saw that the stranger threw something in the fire, but was unable to see his hand. He was astonished and then the stranger scared him.
He showed his sleeves, but there was no hand. Then he touched Mr Cuss’s nose, but Mr Cuss could not see anything. Mr Bunting concluded that it was a most remarkable story.
