"This
hat
belongs
to
him."
"It's
his
hat?"
"No,
he
found
it.
Its
owner
is
unknown.
Please
see
it
not
as
a
battered
hat
but
as
an
intellectual
puzzle.
First,
let
me
tell
you
how
it
got
here.
It
arrived
on
Christmas
morning
with
a
large
goose,
which
I
believe
is
now
roasting
at
Peterson's
home.
Here's
what
happened:
around
four
o'clock
on
Christmas
morning,
Peterson,
who
is
very
honest,
was
going
home
after
a
small
celebration.
He
saw
a
tall
man
in
the
gaslight,
walking
unsteadily
and
carrying
a
white
goose
over
his
shoulder.
At
the
corner
of
Goodge
Street,
some
rough
men
started
a
fight
with
him.
One
of
them
knocked
off
the
man's
hat,
and
he
raised
his
stick
to
defend
himself,
accidentally
breaking
a
shop
window.
Peterson
rushed
to
help
the
stranger,
but
the
man,
shocked
by
the
broken
window
and
seeing
someone
in
uniform
coming,
dropped
the
goose
and
ran
away
into
the
small
streets
behind
Tottenham
Court
Road.
The
rough
men
also
ran
away
when
they
saw
Peterson,
so
he
was
left
with
the
hat
and
a
perfect
Christmas
goose."
"Surely
he
returned
them
to
their
owner?"
"That's
the
problem.
There
was
a
card
saying
'For
Mrs.
Henry
Baker'
tied
to
the
bird's
leg,
and
the
initials
'H.
B.'
are
inside
the
hat.
But
there
are
thousands
of
Bakers
and
hundreds
of
Henry
Bakers
in
this
city,
so
it's
hard
to
find
the
right
one."
"What
did
Peterson
do
then?"
"He
brought
both
the
hat
and
goose
to
me
on
Christmas
morning,
knowing
I
enjoy
even
small
puzzles.
We
kept
the
goose
until
this
morning,
when
it
was
clear
it
should
be
eaten
soon,
even
with
the
cold
weather.
Peterson
took
it
to
eat,
while
I
kept
the
hat
of
the
man
who
lost
his
Christmas
dinner."
"Didn't
he
advertise?"
