Question
What hurt the lawyer in New Mullion and why?
Solution
The lawyer found out the truth about Lutkins the next day. When he reached the station next day with his colleague, he saw Bill and Lutkin's mother having a casual conversation. He was informed by his colleague that whom he thought to be Bill was Lutkins himself. Then, the lawyer came across the truth and felt embarassed. As they saw the lawyer coming, Lutkins and his mother laughed at him as if he were a small boy of seven. It hurt him because it proved that he was stupid and inexperienced.
