To be awakened in the early hours of the morning and find a perfect stranger in the hall outside their bedroom, with all the lights of the house on, was the alarming experience of a New Plymouth man and his. wife. The woman of the house was disturbed from her sleep at 3..15 a.m. by the noise and she roused her husband. Clambering from his bed to investigate he pulled on his slippers and opened the door to the hall —and ran into a strange man who was obviously under the influence of liquor. “Where do you think you are?” the owner of the house asked. The intruder replied: “I really don’t know; where am I?” He was most chagrined when he discovered his error. and after making profuse apologies, withdrew unsteadily to seek his own home.
