What brought Captain Hagberd to Colebrook?
Solution and Explanation
“The old one and the young one will be strolling arm in arm to get shaved in my place presently,” the barber laughed as Captain Hagberd walked out of the tap-room of the New Inn near the harbour. He stated that this eccentric old Hagberd, a retired coasting-skipper, was waiting for the return of one of his sons when he noticed a stranger listening to him with a vacuous grin. Barber claims that Colebrook is the only site in the United Kingdom where his longlost sons could be found. Captain Hagberd arrived in Colebrook three years ago after selling his old home in Colchester.
