A man's wife became deathly ill the night
before Christmas in 1798, he called for the doctor but by the time the doctor had arrived his wife
had died, or so it seemed. Her husband was so grief stricken that he shut himself up on his own and
didn't attend the funeral the following day. The servants of the house carried the rich
woman's body to the Vicar who in a drunken stupor held the ceremony quickly. The veil was drawn
across her face, the stone lid lowered and the iron grille locked.

That evening the down train from London deposited
at the little country station of Ramsdon but a single passenger, a man of middle height, shabbily
dressed, with broad shoulders and long arms and a most unusual breadth and depth of chest.
Of
his face one could see little, for it was covered by a thick growth of dark curly hair, beard,
moustache and whiskers, all overgrown and ill-tended, and as he came with a somewhat slow and
ungainly walk along the platform, the lad stationed at the gate to collect tickets grinned amusedly
and called to one of the porters near:
"Look at this, Bill; here's the monkey-man
escaped and come back along of us."
