Preface
Mr. Silin has been in charge of the neighborhood for a full year. He was a warm and cheerful man who was friendly to everyone, and people responded in kind to him, and he could easily name the members of any family on the block, including their pets and frequent relatives. Except for No. 7 Potter's house, everyone has been invited to dine or have afternoon tea.
Speaking of which, it's not that Mr. Potter is uneasy-going, or that Mr. Potter is annoying. On the contrary, he is a very easy-going and approachable person, but his life is more private than ordinary people. Perhaps that was his nature, Mr. Seeling reasoned for Mr. Potter.
