- #3What reason did the other man give for his going for a smoke and why did he do so?Ans : Miss Fairchild kept on talking to Mr Easton but her constant attention was towards the handcuffs. In order to ease the tense situation, the glum-faced man asked Easton to take him to the smoker's room as he was half-dead for a pipe. In addition, he was also worried that Easton might reveal something about himself that should not be told to the young woman. So he intervened and requested him to be taken to the smoker room.
