Question E

[Jonetta]

Aaron Doherty shows up at the lodge almost frozen and they take him in without question. Even without knowing about the escaped prisoners, should they have been more skeptical?

[Lauren]

They were expecting him as he had made a reservation otherwise I think they would have been more suspicious.

[Jonetta]

He showed up ill prepared for the weather, too. They found it a little odd but because, as you say Lauren, he had a reservation, they moved on. He still was a stranger, though, and should have had more questions, especially after learning about the escaped prisoners.

[Anita]

That is what people who live in places like this do. They really had no reason not to trust he was who he said he was.

[Karen ♐]

The fact that he had a reservation would have made them comfortable with taking him in.

[Melissa]

Since Aaron had made reservations and the storm was so bad, I can see why there was no question that he was who he said he was. Aaron covered his tracks well with not being prepared for the weather. Many outsiders probably wouldn't have expected to get stranded and have to walk to the lodge.

[Charlene]

I suppose in this day, we might be more hesitant to offer hospitality to strangers, but he did have a reservation and a plausible excuse for arriving as he did. That did creep me out, btw.
