I also forgot to add some little facts here and there, which will hopefully add some light into this dark story. Two facts, in fact. The first, and most tiny and inconsequential is that the lawyer and the 'silent man' never found peace until quite a few months later, near Christmas (though the silent man always seemed to hate Christmas...)

And with the owner and his manager now being so absolutely paranoid about the neighbourhood, they insisted on an iron curtain.
