Solomon Stinger really was entirely alone. A forlorn creature totally lost, bravely whistling in the dark. Never at any time during a long and eventful previous existence had he felt more alone. He was in fact more hopelessly alone than any other human had ever been.

It seemed Rico was regarded by the voice as a “dutiful servant”.  Within months of Theta’s promise, the prediction of his acquisition of “a much larger beehive” was fulfilled, but at a tragic cost.
The millennium was nearing its end when through the Hotel's door sidled a hunched figure, almost surreptitiously it seemed. He was dressed in a crumpled dark suit, down-at-heel shoes, dark glasses under the pulled-down rim of a battered trilby hat. He carried a small suitcase. Commonplace enough, yet there was something about the man, a certain aura that caused the landlord to pay closer attention.
Meeting the man's dark compelling gaze Rico found he was truly looking into the eyes of an old friend. The deep-set pools spoke of profound torment of an intensity endured by few. These were the eyes of a person who had travelled far, travelled alone, in all probability seen sights stupendous, experienced all manner of disasters. Rico realised the man was speaking to him.
“I'm so pleased that you seem to recognise me. Pity I can't remember more myself...”

The problem that faced them was this: how could this well-respected Professor and his hotel-waiter companion, two men missing for ten days or so, widely sought throughout the county and beyond, suddenly turn up from nowhere - in this very station? Moreover, they had materialised in one of the ancient, long-disused cell rooms situated in its very centre! These old cells were used as store-rooms nowadays, seldom visited, none of them locked. How had this odd pair managed to pass the main desk in order to get in there? More to the point, where had they been for two weeks? To complicate matters further, the young man in question sported a large contusion on his forehead that was weeping blood. What was worse, he claimed to retain no memory whatsoever of what had happened to him!

Professor Stinger appeared uninjured but was unconscious, in a deep sleep from which he could not be awakened.

Meanwhile Henry McIdle has to admit that the Vaults' clientele are its greatest asset.
