THE EARLY MORNING CALLER. THIS PERSON ENTERS YOUR HOME EARLY IN THE MORNING AND WALKS STEALTHILY LIKE A THIEF. IF YOU WAKE UP, HE PRETENDS HAVING ENTERED THE WRONG APARTMENT, LOOKING FOR A MR. PIERRE OR A MR. PAUL. HE IS ABASHED WITH APOLOGIES AND RETREATS AFTER CARRYING OFF WHAT HAS FALLEN INTO HIS HANDS.
