Then, remembering, in a flash, the herbs that he had come to get, the Gridley High School boy deliberately walked back to the spot where he had left this strange vagrant of the forest.

The outer door was ajar as usual, and Tode and the dog went up the stairs together. Tode tried the door of his room. It was locked on the inside.
