Answer 1

answer to your question.

The humorous element in the story is brought out through the character of Oliver Lutkins. The narrator comes to the town searching for Lutkins and comes across a hack driver, who introduces himself as Bill and convinces the lawyer that he knows where Lutkins is. After going to a few places, the narrator returns to his office. The young lawyer does not have hopes of finding Lutkins. The humour is highlighted when he returns and finds out that the hack driver himself was Lutkins. Thus, Bill befools the lawyer.
