1 There was knock on door I opened it and found small dark man in _blue overcoat and _woolen cap
2 He said he was employee of gas company and had come to read meter
3 But I had suspicion that he wasn't speaking truth because
meter readers usually wear peaked caps
4 However, I took him to meter, which is in dark corner under stairs
5 I asked if he had torch; he said he disliked torches and always read meters by light of match
6 I remarked that if there was leak in gas pipe there might be explosion while he was reading meter
7 He said, “As matter of fact, there was explosion in last house I visited; and Mr Smith, owner of house, was burnt
in face.”
8 “Mr Smith was holding lighted match at time of
explosion.”
9 To prevent _possible repetition of this accident, I lent him torch
10 He switched on torch, read meter and wrote reading down on back of envelope
11 I said in surprise that meter readers usually put readings down in book
12 He said that he had had book but that it had been burnt in fire in Mr Smith's house
13 By this time I had come to conclusion that he wasn't _genuine meter reader; and moment he left house I rang police
