There was a rush of slippered feet through the corridor, a hum of excited voices, and both Dr.
Waller and the attendant darted for the door.
Outside, in the faint starlight, sound of commotion came from the direction of the guard house, of swift footfalls from far across the parade, of the vitreous jar of windows hastily raised.
Two or three lights popped suddenly into view along the dark line of officers' quarters, and Wallace's voice, with a ring of authority unusual to him, halted a running corporal of the guard.
What is it?
demanded he.
I don't know, sir, was the soldier's answer.
There was an awful scream from the end quarters.
Captain Ray, sir.
Then on he went again.
And then came the crack crack of a pistol.

The doctor started at the heels of the corporal, but was distanced long before he reached the scene.
The sergeant of the guard was hammering on the front door of Blake's quarters, but before the summons was answered from within, Mrs.
Ray, in long, loose wrapper, came hurrying forth from her own, the adjoining hallway.
Her face was white with dread.
It is I, Nanny, let us in, she cried, and the door was opened by a terrified servant, as the doctor came panting up the steps.
