Book Description
Excerpt from Blackwood's Magazine, Vol. 194: July-December, 1913 No light was in the glen except from the house he quitted, where some windows, looked back on from a little distance when he reached the garden foot, appeared as yellow squares stuck high up on the arch of night. One of them he knew to be the window of Drimdorran's closet, none of them was Margaret's. He felt that the best thing he could do would be to walk into the town and wait for an explana tion of the truancy until the morrow's morning, but at three-and-twenty years of age it is always something else than the best in policy that commands our acts, and feneas, with one hand feel ing at his chin and the other at times thrust out before him till he had come to his second eyes, passed through the fringe of shrubbery about the garden limits, and out across the fields to the river-side. By the time he reached it he had got a little of the howlet's vision, and the dovecote and its scraggy thicket were to be perceived as bodies massive, blacker than the night.
