It seemed to me that something was moving ahead of me.
I called his name.
It was no use.
When I got to the end of the path, there were several others branching in different directions to some outhouses.
But as I stood there hesitating, I distinctly heard the sound of a closing door.
It wasn't behind me in the house.
It was somewhere ahead in the darkness.
I knew then, Mr. Holmes, that what I'd seen was no vision.
Well then, Mr. Dodd, what else did you do?
There was nothing more I could do.
I spent an uneasy night trying to find some theory to cover the facts.
Well, next day I found the colonel rather more conciliatory.
His wife remarked that there were some places of interest in the neighborhood, and I saw an opening to ask her that I might stay there one more night.
Somewhat grudgingly, he agreed.
Which gave you a clear day in which to make your observations.
I felt I must explore the garden and see what I could find.
There were several small outhouses, but at the end of the garden there was a detached building of some size.
It was heavily curtained.
I wondered if this could have been the place the sound of that shutting door had come from.
