Steven presses the landlord for answers

The large traveling cloak is described by Steven as a key identifier for his missing Huguenot friend. It serves as a critical clue in his search, symbolizing the friend’s distinctiveness and possibly his status or role within the Huguenot community. The cloak’s mention heightens the urgency of Steven’s inquiry, as it is a tangible detail that the landlord could recognize if he were telling the truth. Its absence from the landlord’s memory (or his refusal to acknowledge it) underscores the landlord’s evasiveness and the growing mystery surrounding the friend’s disappearance.
