"I saw the Count in my room. He was making my bed. Then, later, I saw him laying the table."
I saw the Count in my room, making my bed. Then, later, I saw him laying the table.
In your sentences, YOU know (from all the Counts in all the aristocratic families in the world), the SPECIFIC Count you are referring to. I DON"T. The reader does not. Nothing in your sentence tells me WHICH COUNT YOU ARE REFERRING TO.
All that we have are two actions he performed - 'was making' and 'was laying'. Any Count in the whole wide world could do that. These actions don't tell me specifically WHICH COUNT. There is no Restrictive clause in your sentences above.
Is this the Count THAT you met at that cocktail party you attended last week?
Is this the Count THAT invited you to his chateau?
