What other extraordinary things happen at the inn?
The landlord and his wife were up early and were surprised to see the scientist’s door open which usually remained shut and locked. He became furious if anyone entered his room. They saw it as an opportunity that was too adequate to be missed. They peeked up round the door and saw nobody and then decided to investigate further. The bedclothes were cold showing that the scientist must have been up for some time. All of a sudden mrs. Hall heard a sound of sniff close to her ear. A moment later the hat on the bed post leapt up and dashed itself onto her face. Then bedroom chair became alive and springing into the air it charged straight at her, legs foremost. As she and her husband got panic, the extraordinary chair pushed them both out of the room and then appeared to the slam and lock the door after them.
