In the depth of the room behind us the shafts of moonlight met and crossed in a growing network. It was after an hour of this wearing and unbroken attention, and I should judge about one o'clock in the morning, when the baying of the dogs in the stableyard first began, and I saw John Silence move suddenly in his chair and sit up in an attitude of attention.

The last bowl of punch was on its last legs. The stranger walked into the passage and said to the drawer: "Fetch me a lantern. I must see my nag. Light it hey! That will do. No you need not come." The gaunt traveller took it from the man's hand and strode along the passage to the door of the stableyard, which he opened and passed out.
