About the story.

A strange sound interrupts Father Brown’s walk home after Mass and gives him a reason to pause outside a house. What follows involves an old military acquaintance, an apparently ordinary meal, and details that do not sit comfortably together.

Chesterton makes an interruption to a morning routine the start of an investigation. The challenge is to distinguish a harmless peculiarity from the sort of oddness that deserves immediate attention.
