The ancient vehicle jolted over the moor road in crawling ascent, and in due time reached the spot where the straggling churchtown squatted among boulders in the desolation of the moors, wanting but cave men to start up from behind the great stones to complete the likeness to a village of the stone age.
You'd better drop me at the churchtown on your way back to Penzance. There's really nothing to detain you any longer." They returned to the churchtown in the motor-car, and Pengowan from the back seat directed the way to Austin Turold's lodgings.
She said there'd been a terrible crash right over her head in Mr. Turold's study. I took a lamp and went upstairs, and knocked at the door, but I got no reply. I knocked three times as loud as I could, but there wasn't a sound. At that I gets afeered myself, so I put on my hat and coat to go across to the churchtown to fetch Dr. Ravenshaw.
They drove on in silence until they reached the churchtown. Inspector Dawfield steered the car to the modest dwelling of Sergeant Pengowan, whom they found at his gate awaiting their arrival a shaggy figure of a rural policeman of the Cornish Celtic variety, with no trace of Spanish or Italian ancestry in his florid face, inquisitively Irish blue-grey eyes, reddish whiskers, and burly frame.
School work had ended early this day on account of coming examinations, and the lads, who had been chums since their entrance at Milton, had voted to go for a walk, and end up with an early supper at Kelly's, a more or less celebrated place where the students congregated.

"Is it the Cornish savage from the churchtown him with the straw helmit?" said Thalassa, with a harsh laugh. The last shot had missed fire badly. The lawless spirit of the man was not to be intimidated by a threat of arrest a threat which the detective had reason for not putting into effect just then. Barrant moved towards the door with the best dignity he could command.
At Churchtown the rainfall precipitated off the slopes of Castle-an-dinas begot vast torrents which, upon their roaring way, tore the very heart out of steep and stony lanes, flooded farmyards, plowed up miles of hillside, leaped the wall of the cemetery below and spread twining yellow fingers among the graves.
Well, one Pie-crust Night, after this yearly supper the most enjoyable he had ever known my father left the Rising Sun towards midnight, and started to walk to his home in Luxulyan Churchtown.
Austin Turold followed, but started back as he looked within. Then he entered, his eyes dwelling on the shadowy outline on the couch in the corner. "What has happened at Flint House, Ravenshaw? Now to-night, I mean." He spoke shakily. "There's a story abroad of Thalassa having been seen carrying a figure through the churchtown and entering your house.
