First lines

I CANNOT pretend to say how it all happened: I can but relate what occurred, leaving those of my friends who are versed in psychic matters to find a plausible explanation for the fact that on that horrible foggy afternoon I chanced to walk into that blameless tea--shop at that particular hour. Now I had not been inside a tea--shop for years and I had practically ceased to think of the Man in the Corner--the weird, spook--like creature with the baggy trousers, the huge horn--rimmed spectacles, and the thin claw--like hands that went on fidgeting, fidgeting, fidgeting, with a piece of string, tying it with nervy deliberation into innumerable and complicated knots.
