But when the constable gets close enough to touch Taplow, he sees a clumsily-wrapped fresh stump where the man’s right hand ought to be, and discovers a preposterous amount of cash stuffed into the pockets of his overcoat.
Taplow is understandably none too coherent in his explanation, but the gist of it seems to be that some unknown man accosted him at the pub, and offered to pay him £500 to have his hand amputated.
For example, you might want to know why the mysterious Roberts paid Taplow all that money for his hand, how the hand came to be in the possession of the man in whose home it is discovered later, or just what in the hell its new owner could possibly have wanted with the thing.
