Explore "The Woman in the Alcove" by Anna Katharine Green on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
The moon was well up when the small boat in which our young detective was / seated with Mr. Grey appeared in the bay approaching the so-called manufactory / of Wellgood. The looked-for light on the waterside was not there. All was dark / except where the windows reflected the light of the moon.
This was a decided disappointment to Sweetwater, if not to Mr. Grey. He had / expected to detect signs of life in this quarter, and this additional proof of / Wellgood's absence from home made it look as if they had come out on a fool's / errand and might much better have stuck to the road.
