After his first day’s experience with the hack driver the lawyer thinks of returning to New Mullion to practise law. Do you think he would have reconsidered this idea after his second visit?
After his first day’s experience with the hack driver the lawyer had thought about returning to new mullion to practice law. He was over the whelmedmy bill’s hospitality. However, during his second visit he realized that he had been literally taken for a ride by the hack driver who himself was Lutkins. In this lutkins was helped by the town people. After becoming the laughter source for the town, it is most likely that the lawyer would have reconsidered his initial idea of working there.
Lutkins openly takes the lawyer all over the village. How is it that no one lets out the secret? (Hint: Notice that the hack driver asks the lawyer to keep out of sight behind him when they go into Fritz’s.) Can you find other such subtle ways in which Lutkins manipulates the tour?
