AS THE rain continued to come down heavily and he did not relish even the short ride back to Bury in the wet, Robert acted upon the boy's suggestion and was remaining for the night at the inn. As he sat by himself at tea there was no doubt his mind was in a turmoil and that he was in a state of great perplexity. He was quite certain he had found the place where David O'Shane had been coming and equally certain there was something sinister about those who were now living there.
There must be some very good reason for the secrecy with which they were shrouding their lives and their determination that no one should approach near the house.
