The room was dark and he started searching for the light switch. The stranger in the room in the room requested him not to turn on the light. In order to avoid Schwamm falling over his crutches or run into his suit case, the stranger directed Schwamm to his bed.

Schwamm introduced himself to the stranger. The stranger asked him if he had come there to attend a meeting. He said he had come there to take the early train and wave back at his son to make him feel happy. The stranger told him his unpleasant truth that his wife died giving birth to their first child and that he hated and avoided children.
The next morning when Schwamm woke up, he was alone. He was shocked to see, it was time for the morning train and he had no chance to catch it. He returned home downhearted but surprised when his son met him at the door and threw himself at him.
