Answer:

Mrs. Hall was the owner of the inn ?Coach and Horses?. She was very simple, friendly by nature and a socialite woman. She felt very delighted and excited when Griffin came to stay at the inn as she was not expecting any guest in such a rough and harsh weather. She lit the fire herself to make her guest feel warm and cozy and went immediately to prepare meals for him with her own hands. A guest to stop at the inn, in the wintertime was an unheard piece of luck. Her maid Millie was sluggish so she carried the plates, cloth and glasses to the parlour on her own. She tried to begin a conversation with him but as he was in no mood to talk, she immediately curtailed the conversation. She cooked eggs and ham, laid the table and did everything by herself She also offered to take off his coat and hat for drying in the kitchen. For sympathy, she asked her guest whether he had met with an accident or underwent an operation. Although, her guest, Mr. Griffin, showed no interest in her, she carried on her conversation and tolerated him as he gave her a few gold coins for his stay at the inn without any bargain.
