ITILARY found himself again in
. tlie sunny street, drifting aim-
'essly. So Alice would marry
George and be happy—happier
ihan his mother had been.
Well, Alice was not his job.
there was somethn* else . . .
something waiting . . . some-
where. . . .
Paddington Station was just
ahead of him. At sight of it, con-
tusion vanished. Nuns Farthing.
They had let it with his room just
as he had walked out of it that
day two years ago. Of course they
must have left the door locked. If
they Hadn’t he would see that they
heard about it. If anyone had been
allowed to go mucking about with
his things . . .
That was it! Strangers were in
possession down there. He had to
get back.
I suppose an old hand at this
game would know how to get
there without the railway, he
thought, entering the. booking-
hall. Perhaps in a hundred years’
time I’ll learn how to transport
myself through space oh my own.
But until 1 get the bang of it—
well, anyway, I don’t need a ticket.
A train for Wells was leaving
in 10 minutes. Smiling, he slid
p?st 'the man at the barrier and
went, down . tjie platform where
doors stood ripen all along the
train) He chose a first-class non-
smoking compartment as being
likeliest t» remain empty, and set-
tled himself in the near corner
seat with hi? back to the engine.
'. For something over two hours
he traveled acrqss the June coun-
tryside. No one disturbed, him.
. When the train slo.\v€U to a stop
at the 'ittle station of . Upper
Bramble, near Welts, he pulled
himself together, sep.ed the latch,
and jumped out as the door swung
open under his hand. A bored,
unseeing country porter slammed
it shut again. .
VELLOW sunset light still
■*" touched the tops of the trees
at tho. end of the tong midsummer
day, but the hedged lane grew
dusky as he walked the two miles
to Nuns Farthing.
Only a short way frqm the gates
be met a farmin' with a'dog at his
heels, trudging towards the-pub at
Upper Bramble. As they came
level the dog shied ioto the ditch
and stood there, stiff-legged,
growling in its throat, while the
hair on its back rose.
“What’s the matter wi’ ye, Nab
—seein’ things?" grinned its mas-
ter, and the dog hurried after him,"
still growling, into the dusk.
Hilary ha'd to admit to himself
that he was shaken by the en-
counter. It was a new a,Id hu-
miliating sensation to him to be
barked at by a dog as though he
was a tramp—only, worse.
It was nearly dark when he
reached the house, and lights
showed in some of the windows.
His footsteps quickened at the
sight of it He had come home.
Nuns Farthing, at least, was
the same, and there was con
in it, there would be privacy
..solace within his own. four walls, «
Bpoks, He could, still reid books. ]
And no one would care what ne
did in his own room at the top
of the house, there would be no
quo to sec. . ^ ^ ^ ***4
ANCE more he was confronted
^ with the problem of a closed
door, for the evening .was-cool. >
Thqre. must be a way to pass
through n door without opening it,
he told himself, but. I'm hanged if
l.sec my way to try it now.
He walked round the house to
the back, noticing with approval i
that the garden was wpll-kept and
nourishing. A mounting excite-'
■meht had’ begun to possess him, as
though some tremendous- experi-
ence was drawing nearer with
every step he took. ; 4
It's coming, he thought, trying
not to hurry, foolishly, for surely
there Was no need for him to
hurry ever again? Whatever it Is,
it's going to happen now. I was
wasting time in Town—not that ‘
time rhatters .after all. But' this
is it. This is what I’ve been head-
ed for. I, might have known it was
here, all along. It’s coming now
—whatever it is. . .(
Through the open kitchen win-
dow he couM see Mrs. Pilton, sit-
ting as she used to do, with her
knitting. For a moment he paused
to contemplate the dark, brooding
face bent above her knitting, while
a grateful feeling of companion-
ship crept through his loneliness
and his driving • anxiety,
strange, uncommunicative womas
1 native of the grim countryside
was part of his childhood. Un-
demonstrative, inarticulate, inde-

of his memory, and never once had l

Hardly knowing what he ex-
pected. he went to the kitchen
