His name is Enoch Huntingdon. Yes, sir, Enoch Huntingdon! What do you think of that?" The astonishment expressed in Seaton's eyes was all that the officer could desire. "Enoch Huntingdon! Why, man, that gutter rat has real blood in him, if he didn't steal the name." "No kid ever stole such a name as that," said Foley.
Now Miss Rolleston's window looked out upon the lawn, so that Seaton's watchtower was not many yards from it; then, as the tool-house was only lighted from above, he bored a hole in the wooden structure, and through this he watched, and slept, and watched. He used to sit studying theology by a farthing rushlight till the lady's bedtime, and then he watched for her shadow.
It came right through the ceiling like a flash went right through you and on down through the floor. There it comes back again!"
