Question
Describe the hitchhiker. What is he like?
Answer
The hitchhiker is described as a small, ratty-faced man with grey teeth. His eyes are characterized as dark, quick, and clever. He is wearing a greyish-colored jacket with enormous pockets. The text also mentions that he is headed to Epsom for the races on Derby Day and that he has a somewhat mysterious and peculiar demeanor. Later in the text, it is revealed that the hitchhiker is skilled with his fingers, claiming them to be quicker and cleverer than those of the best piano player in the world. Additionally, he confesses to being a professional fingersmith, suggesting a proficiency in sleight of hand or pickpocketing.
