Stangeist's house was "dark" that evening, she had said, meaning that the occupants, Stangeist as well as whatever servants there might be, for Stangeist had no family, were out the servants in town for a theatre or picture show probably and Stangeist himself as yet not back, presumably from that Roessle affair.
From here, there was only a short run ahead of him, and, twenty minutes later, descending from the train at Forest Hills, he had passed through the more thickly settled portion of the little place, and was walking briskly out along the country road. Stangeist's house lay, approximately, a mile and a half from the station, quite by itself, and set well back from the road.
