Chapter Three

The Adventure of the Literary Innkeeper

1. What does Richard Hannay think is written in Scudder’s notebook?
2. Where does he stay on his first night?
3. Richard Hannay takes another train. What does he read about in the newspaper?
4. Richard tries to quietly jump out of the train. What alerts the other passengers?
5. Why does Richard Hannay need to get off the moor? How are they searching for him?
6. What does the young innkeeper look like and what does he want to be?
7. Richard tells the innkeeper a version of the truth. How does the innkeeper help Richard escape?

Try to crack this code:

19, 7, 13,13,7,6 // 12, 11,1,21,12,11,25//18,14//1,14,13,18,21,13,26,11//25,1,26,12,12,11,4,25//17,14,4,8//15,26,18//19,11//13,11,11,12,25//18,14//4,26,13//7,17,7,6//18,14//25,1,14,18,23,7,13,12//18,14//11,25,1,7,9,11//18,19,11//2,11,4,3,7,13//25,9,21,11,25

Update: there were two mistakes in the code, but I have corrected them now so it should be 'easy peasy lemon squeezy' :).

Thanks Dad for pointing out the mistakes.
