In “A Case of Suspicion” by Graham Greene, Dr. Benson reaches for his pistol when he suspects that the man he meets on the way to Evans’ house might be a thief or a murderer. He draws out the pistol slowly and holds it in the darkness at his side. Dr. Benson stops the car quickly and pushes the nose of his gun into the man’s side.
The rider jumps with fear and puts up his hands quickly. Dr. Benson then forces the man out of the car and confronts him about the stolen watch. The man admits to stealing the watch and returns it to Evans. Dr. Benson then puts the pistol back into the leather holster under the seat and continues on his way to Evans’ house.
