Knowing that Maggs will be lying later on in the story; it gives you the knowledge that Maggs is sneaky and with the information of his looks above, it adds on to the feel of his character; that creepy “vibe.” Maggs says, “Because things seem to happen to people who don’t pay me my money… you watch that house.” (192) Maggs increased his price of repairing the leak to an annoying price of fifty dollars and Lucy refused to pay him anything at all. The fact that Maggs threatened Lucy gives another reason to the creepy mood you feel while reading about the confrontations the two have with each other.
