Detailed explanation-1: -However, at that very moment when they are about to leave, Gerrard locks him in the cupboard and tells his friend over the phone to call the Sergeant. Yes, Gerrard had a car. He kept it in his garage round the corner.
Detailed explanation-2: -He held it up in his right foot, as if he were a boy holding a stick of rock. He examined it, and nibbled its tail. He looked round at the company with the tail hanging out of the corner of his mouth, turned his head away, politely swallowed the tail, and began to scratch himself with his left toe.
Detailed explanation-3: -The intruder asks Gerrard many questions about his complete name, his driving skills, car, number of people visiting the cottage. He tries to copy Gerrard’s accent as well. Gerrard asks him to tell something about himself like – his name, his intentions, his profession. “At last a sympathetic audience.”
Detailed explanation-4: -Gerrard lives alone in a lonely cottage. An intruder, who is a criminal, enters his cottage.
Detailed explanation-5: -He claims to be a murderer who is also wanted by the police. Gerrard calls himself the Mystery Man, who has been not found by anyone.
