Inspector Gatton will probably be calling for me." "Very good. Good-night, sir," said Coates; and performing a smart about-turn, he walked out of the room. I went on reading, not in quest of any particular information, but in that idle mood when one reads anything, interesting or otherwise.
On I went for some twenty yards until I found the particular spot for which I was seeking. This was a sort of little bay or inlet where until quite recently a heap of stones used by roadmenders had lain, and into this I marched, never once altering my pace. But having gained it I performed an about-turn and continued to mark time there, whilst surveying the moon-bathed road behind me.
After standing at "Attention" for what seemed a week, though in reality it could not have been over five minutes, we heard a low whispering in our rear and footsteps on the stone nagging of the courtyard. Our officer reappeared and in a low, but firm voice, ordered; "About-Turn!" We turned about. In the gray light of dawn, a few yards in front of me, I could make out a brick wall.
