He had been doing his usual after-lock-up prowl on the junior gravel, to intercept stragglers, and he had been a witness from a distance of fifty yards, in a very bad light of the descent into the vault.

They went upstairs to find him lying in state upon a big sofa placed near a window, and his joy at the sight of them was a genuine, human thing.
