Question

Do you think the man would ever come back to pick up the watch?

Answer 1

Although Ray had paid the man far more than what the watch was actually worth I think that the man would return. He must have been touched with Rays’ kindness towards him in spite of knowing full well the reason for their visit. He appreciated his generosity and when Ray looked into his eyes he saw gratitude and they seemed to say, “Thank you.” That is why he left a note saying that he would be back to pick up the watch as soon as he could and wishing Ray a Merry Christmas.
