Impressions of Book of The Thirty-nine Steps


As


we


all know,


the Thirty-nine


Steps



is


the


most


famous


novel of John


Buchan, and


typical suspense


novel


in


the


literary


history


. What's


more,


it's one of 100


typical suspense


novels chosen by


the Institute of


American


Reasoning Writers,


ranking 22


in


the


list. Also,


it's


in


the


list


of


1000


must-read


novels


before


death


chosen


by


The


Guardian


.


Actually,


John


Buchan


is


one


of


Hitchcock's


most


favourite


writers.


On


the


first


looking


into


the


Thirty- nine Steps


,


he said,


it could be


turned


into a


great


film


from the


first


time I


read John Buchan's


the Thirty-nine Steps


.


However,


I'm


merely


familiar


with


its


book


title.


At


the


first


sight,


I'm


curious


about


what


These words


first appear


in Chapter 4,



steps)'


was the phrase; and at


its


last


time of use it ran



'(Thirty-nine steps, I counted them



high tide 10



17 p.m.)'.


to


my


calculation,



thirty-nine


steps


appear


9


times


in


total.


Most


part


come


out


in


Chapter


9,


which


focuses


on


how


the


hero,


Richard


Hannay


figured


out


the


code



thirty-nine


steps


Obviously,


it's


a


clue,


which


Scudder


left


to


his


fellows


to


find


out


the


secret


place


of


Black


Stone


where


they


hung


out,


where


they


were


going


to


leave


Britain,


though


he


kept


the


name


to


himself.


Therefore


how


to


find


out


the


code


is


of


great


importance to achieve the final success.


Speak of the


hero, Richard Hannay


is


the one


who wants to adventure and


has a


head


for things like chess and puzzles. In fact, he did a bit at it himself once as intelligence officer


at Delagoa


Bay during


the


Boer War.


He


is a


mining


engineer back


to


London


from South


Africa.


But


I


have


been


wondering


why


the


writer


didn't


tell


his


job


until


Hannay


met


Sir


Harry


. Apparently,


Hannay


was so


fed


up with the


life


in London before Scudder came


to


him, and he


was just about to settled to clear out and


get back to the


African


grasslands. So


when Scudder came


up


to


him


for


help,


he didn't refuse


immediately


.


At


first,


Hannay was


more interested in his own adventures than in his high politics. After Scudder was killed, he


turned


into


a


quick- witted


man


to


carry


on


Scudder's


work.


Hannay


began


showing


his


insight from the moment.



At


that


night,


Hannay


arrived


home


and


found


Scudder


stuck


to


the


floor


by


a


long



1



knife. He felt very sick and was succeeded by a fit of the horrors. Under such a condition, he


could calm down and eventually think things out


in the


next a


few


hours. At this point,


it's


easy to show his intellect and capacity of handling with tough situations in this difficult trap.


He kept his head and arranged his schedule in the next three weeks. It proves that Hannay is


a very strong person in mind and hardly shaken in belief.


In order to get rid of those two sets of people would be


looking


for


him



Black Stone,


Scudder's


enemies


to


put


him


out


of


existence,


and


the


police,


who


would


want


him


for


Scudder's


murder,


he


should


keep


hiding


before


he


could


venture


to


approach


the


powers


that


be.


As


a


result,


he


pretended


as


a


milkman,


a


Scotsman,


a


Colonial


and


free


trader,


a


roadman and a


man called Ainslie(maybe a


thief).


Although


his


get-ups are


not perfect,


he


has a wonderful way to make it. That is a saying that an old scout in Rhodesia once told him


that


the secret of playing a part


was


to think


yourself


into


it.


He said,


you are playing a


part, ou should never keep it up unless you could manage to convince yourself that you were


it.


It


haunted


Hannay


from


time


to


time


and


really


helped


him


a


lot.


When


he


acted


as


a


roadman,


he shut off all other thoughts and


switched


them onto


the


roadmending with this


saying


in


mind.


And


his


get-up


was


good


enough


for


the


dreaded


Surveyor


and


the


Black


Stone. Another scene is when Hannay kept watch on the house called Trafalgar Lodge at the


head


of


the


thirty- nine


steps


and


his


owner


of


course.


It


gave


a


strong


point


to


convince


himself with his judgement.


Though Mr.


Buchan describes Hannay as a quick-minded,


intelligent and kind-hearted


man who


is eager to


take risks,


he doesn't embody


him


to be such


a perfect


man. Actually,


Hannay also


made some


mistakes but they were turned out to be good things. For example,


in Chapter 3


he did play tricks on


those two sets of people successfully but


he changed


the


plan to steal the car of the Black Stone. As a result, the big green car became the safest clue


to him


whether


he


left


it and took


to his


feet or


not. As


he


tried to


get


to the


leafy cover of


the valley


in order


not to on a bare road


he


was at


the airplane's


mercy


,


he ran slap


into


the


hedge


preventing


a


crash


with


a


coming


car.


Thus


he


met


Sir


Harry


,


a


local


Liberal


Candidate,


who


gave


Hannay


a


hand


when


in


a


mess.


Furthermore,


Sir


Harry


introduced


Hannay to his godfather, Sir Walter Bullivant, the Permanent Secretary at the Foreign Office,


after Hannay took


him


into


his confidence. Consequently,


Hannay could


get


in


touch


with



2



the Government people before the


conspiracy


happened. It's


no doubt


that Hannay


made a


wrong decision on the run. However, it seems that goddess was always on his side. Probably


because all people believe in that the evil will not triumph over the virtuous.



Of course, Hannay could not be able to succeed in accomplishing his work without the


help of those kind- hearted people



a couple of a herd's cottage, an innkeeper, Sir Harry and


the


roadman


Alexander


Turnbull.


For


the


sake


of


being


far


ahead


of


any


pursuit,


Hannay


kept going


for


some


hours since


he


had


tasted


food when


he came to the herd's cottage, set


in a corner beside a waterfall.


The couple welcomed


him


for a night's


lodging


and offered a


large


meal


but


refused


any


payment.


As


for


Sir


Harry


,


I


have


just


mentioned


it


above.


Hannay


ran


into


the


innkeeper


on


a


bridge


of


the


plateau


and


pitched


him


a


lovely


story


which


completely


fitted


in


with


this


adventure


of


literary


innkeeper's


appetite.


Hence


the


innkeeper provided Hannay with anything he could. With his help, Hannay had enough time


to do his search


for the code


in Scudder's


notebook and eventually


found out that the whole


story


was


in


the


notes,which


was


not


the


same


as


what


Scudder


told


him.


Meanwhile


Hannay


moved


with


those


two


sets


of


people


through


the


innkeeper.


I


think


the


innkeeper


absolutely played a key role in the story


. He earned some time for Hannay to rest and got his


ideas


into shape. It


laid a good


foundation


for the battle of wits and courage


with


the Black


Stone.


On


his


way


to


the


shepherds


after


saying


goodbye


to


Sir


Harry


,


Hannay


found


the


roadman in a tiny bit of road, beside a heap of stones. Hannay made believe that he was the


roadman to take on


his job


for a bit


instead of


Turnbull.


In this


way


, Hannay


got rid of


the


Black Stone. However, Hannay exchanged his coat and collar with Turnbull's,


including


the


most


important


thing



Scudder's


notebook.


Unluckily,


Hannay


was


subject


to


the


boss


of


the


Black


Stone



an


old


man



blink


his


eyes


like


a


hawk


With


great


difficulties,


Hannay escaped


from the enemy's


headquarters.


And when


Hannay came back


to


Turnbull,


he


was


in


for


a


bit


of


Malaria


and


could


not


frame


a


coherent


answer.


Actually


,


Turnbull


could


neglect Hannay


and occupy


his


things, even take


him


to the police.


But


he didn't.


To


my surprise, he carefully took care of Hannay and never bothered him with a question. And


he never even sought his name and gave back all Hannay's stuff. More surprisingly, he grew


positively


rude


and


shy


and


red


when


Hannay


pressed


him


to


accept


five


pounds


for


his


lodging.



was


a


true


friend


in


need,


that


old


roadman.


It's


how


Hannay


thinks


of


the
