Cuss, the doctor, was interested in the bandages and bottles. All 
through April and May he wanted to talk to the stranger, and at 
last he could bear it no longer and went to visit him. He was 
surprised to find that Mr Hall did not know his guest's name. 
'He gave a name,' said Mrs Hall - this was untrue - 'but I 
didn't hear it properly.' She thought it seemed silly not to know 
the man's name.
