Gerrard was very intelligent. He had great presence of mind. And he had a sense of humour also. The intruder enters his house. He has a revolver in his hand. But Gerrard doesn’t get afraid. He remains calm. He keeps his presence of mind. He talks to the intruder in a pleasant manner. He even tries to be humorous. He never lets the situation become very serious. He never says anything that can make the intruder very angry. He wins the intruder’s confidence. He gets everything out of him. Then he makes up a clever story. The intruder is taken in by it. He gets locked in the cupboard. All this shows how intelligent Gerrard is. He is a stage artist. But in real life also, he proves a great actor.
