"This
trophy
belongs
to
him."
"It's
his
hat."
"No,
no,
he
found
it.
The
owner
is
unknown.
Consider
it
not
just
a
battered
hat
but
an
intellectual
puzzle.
First,
how
it
got
here:
it
arrived
on
Christmas
morning
with
a
fat
goose,
likely
roasting
now
at
Peterson's
fire.
Here
are
the
facts:
around
four
in
the
morning
on
Christmas,
Peterson,
an
honest
fellow,
was
heading
home
along
Tottenham
Court
Road.
He
saw
a
tall
man,
slightly
staggering,
carrying
a
white
goose
over
his
shoulder.
At
Goodge
Street,
a
scuffle
broke
out
between
the
man
and
some
roughs.
One
knocked
off
his
hat,
and
he
swung
his
stick,
breaking
a
shop
window.
Peterson
rushed
to
help,
but
the
man,
seeing
someone
in
uniform,
dropped
the
goose
and
fled.
The
roughs
also
ran,
leaving
Peterson
with
the
hat
and
an
excellent
goose."
"Surely
he
returned
them
to
their
owner?"
"That's
the
problem.
A
card
on
the
bird's
leg
read
'For
Mrs.
Henry
Baker,'
and
the
initials
'H.
B.'
are
inside
the
hat.
But
with
thousands
of
Bakers
and
hundreds
of
Henry
Bakers
in
this
city,
it's
hard
to
return
lost
property
to
the
right
one."
"What
did
Peterson
do
then?"
"He
brought
the
hat
and
goose
to
me
on
Christmas
morning,
knowing
I
enjoy
even
the
smallest
puzzles.
We
kept
the
goose
until
this
morning
when
it
showed
signs
it
should
be
eaten
soon.
Peterson
has
taken
it
to
fulfill
a
goose's
destiny,
while
I
keep
the
hat
of
the
man
who
lost
his
Christmas
dinner."
"Didn't
he
advertise?"
