Alfred retired in 1928, at the age of 56, due to health concerns. There are no historical details on his possible afflictions. During his retirement, he spent most of his time in his cottage, titled "The Old Barn". He loved the sea, sailing, and fishing on the coast of Sussex on his motor yacht, Poppy, where he enjoyed hours of pleasure and relaxation. He liked music, too, and was reportedly an excellent pianist. Alfred Henry thus turns the protagonist, leaving the Dunhill company to go on without him while enjoying a seemingly private retirement. | Alfred retired in 1928, at the age of 56, due to health concerns.
