comment
 The Lodger is a 1914 novel by Marie Belloc Lowndes, and the inspiration for the Alfred Hitchcock film and subsequent films of the same name.The story revolves around a retired couple, both formerly servants who make extra income by renting out rooms in their home. Unsuccessful as landlords and facing the prospect of hard times, they are saved when a single gentleman rents their upstairs rooms. This young man is eccentric and has unusual requirements, but he pays very handsomely. Meanwhile, a series of murders are being committed by "The Avenger"...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })

 The Eyes Have It: Played with. One of the first things Mr. Sleuth does upon arriving at his new rooms is turn all the pictures of women to face the wall, claiming that the "women's eyes follow him".

 Contrived Coincidence: By sheer happenstance the Buntings and Mr. Sleuth visit Madame Tussauds on the same day as London's Head Commissioner of the Police and the Paris Prefect of Police. Sleuth assumes Mrs. Bunting ratted him out to them and flees.
