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?

ANSWER :Oliver Lutkins is an extremely clever person. The lawyer is sent to search summons on him. The lawyer meets him at the railway station. he very cleverly gets to know from him the purpose of his visit. Then he decides to fool the lawyer. He offers to take him to the places where Lutkins can be found. He takes the lawyer to Fritz's, Gray’s and Gustaff’s.

Answer:
Lutkins openly takes the lawyer all over the village even then no one lets out the secret that he is Lutkins himself. He cunningly makes the lawyer agree to his plan of going out first to search for him and that he should follow. In this way, Bill had enough time to hint people of the situation. Had the two gone together to enquire it would have been a different situation. Similarly, it would be a different case had the lawyer gone out first to enquire about Lutkins.
At any place they went, Lutkins went out first to enquire. Be it at the poker place, the barber’s shop, his house or at his mother’s he cleverly makes the first move and succeeds in deceiving the lawyer.
