The little house of Dalehampton was something more than a mere house of grief, they found, when the long drive came to an end and Cleek and his two companions entered it, for the very spirit of desolation and despair seemed to have taken up its abode there; and, like an Incarnate Woe, Miss Comstock paced through the hush and darkness, hour in and hour out, as she had been doing since daybreak.
He removed them from it instantly fled the very neighbourhood, hired a house down here at Dalehampton; a dozen miles or so on the other side of the Tor, yonder and carried them there to live. The family now consisted of Miriam and Flora, the two girls, Paul, a boy of thirteen old Mr. Harmstead's special pride and pet and Ronald, a little chap of eleven.
"There's a public telephone station a mile or two on the other side of this place I saw it this morning when I was out tramping. Slip off down there, ring up the head of the Dalehampton Constabulary, and tell him to have a man at the house ready to pop up when wanted. I'll be long enough over my supposed 'packing' to cover the time of your going and returning without the Captain's knowledge."
Meanwhile, I've got a few things to throw into my kit-bag, and as that's over at the Three Desires, perhaps you won't mind coming along and giving me a hand. Then we'll run over to that house at Dalehampton and have a look at the body of that poor little shaver as expeditiously as possible. Will you come?"
