ow do you think the story proceeds? Will it be about Mrs. or Mr. Sorley? Or
will there be a chance meeting with someone else? Read ahead to find out.
It was a long ride to the Sorley farm and the sight of a man walking alone along the
country road, as seen just ahead by the lights of the car, was a welcome relief to
the doctor. He slowed down and looked at the man walking along with difficulty
against the wind, a little package under his arm.
Coming alongside, Doctor Benson stopped and invited the man to ride. The man
got in.
“Are you going far?” asked the doctor.
“I’m going all the way to Detroit,” said the man, a rather thin man with small black
eyes filled with tears from the wind. “Could you give me a cigarette?”
Doctor Benson unbuttoned his coat, then remembered the cigarettes in the outer
pocket of his overcoat. He took out the packet and gave it to the rider who then
looked in his own pockets for a match. When the cigarette was lighted, the man
held the packet a moment, then asked, “Do you mind, mister, if I take another
cigarette for later?”. The rider shook the packet to remove another cigarette
without waiting for the doctor to answer. Doctor Benson felt a hand touch his
pocket.
“I’ll put them back in your pocket,” the little fellow said. Doctor Benson put his
hand down quickly to receive the cigarettes and was a little irritated to find them
already in his pocket.
A few minutes later, Doctor Benson said, “So you’re going to Detroit?”
“I am going out to look for work in one of the automobile plants”
“Are you a mechanic?” asked the doctor.
“More or less, I’ve been driving a truck since the war ended. But I lost my job
about a month ago.”
“Were you in the army during the war?”
“Yeah, I was in the ambulance section. Right up at the front. Drove an ambulance
for four years.”
“Is that so?” said Doctor Benson. “I’m a doctor myself. Doctor Benson is m

Dr. Benson's impressions about Evans was not as straightforward or simple. Because of the shabby appearance of Evans, Dr. Benson was prejudiced for him. The irritating behavior of Evans, the scar of his face and his uncouth manners made Dr. Benson suspicious about him. It was because of this prejudiced nature that when Dr. Benson was not able to find his watch, he suspected Evans of being the thief. He immediately suspected him of having stolen it.
No, Dr. Benson was not a kind and gentle doctor.

Explanation:
Late in the night, Dr. Benson was out to see Mrs.Ott who went into the labors and was about to deliver a baby soon. He stood in a deserted road until he was offered to ride alongside a man named Evans who said he was an Ambulance driver and had recently lost his job. Halfway through the journey, Dr. Benson started suspecting that Evans might have robbed him off his watch when Evans shoved back the packet of cigarette therein. Driven by rage, Dr. Benson pointed his pistol at him and a scared Evans put a watch in his pocket. Dr.Benson later realized that the watch had a broken dial and cracked crystal. Thereafter he realized that his suspicion about Evans was baseless because the inscription at the back of the watch testified the fact that Evans was indeed connected to the Ambulance Departmet. This brings us to the belief that Dr. Benson had a haughty pride that stemmed from sense of superiority.
