Explore "The Shadow of Larose" by Arthur Gask on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Returning to the bank directly after the inquest, our general manager called me into the private room, and informed me that if I wished he would arrange for me to be returned straightaway to the city. He quite understood, he said, that my nerves must be terribly upset by the tragedy that had overtaken us, and that therefore perhaps it would be best if I were withdrawn from Port Augusta. I thanked him very much, and jumped at the suggestion, and so upon the following day, the officer to succeed me having arrived, I went down by the night train to Adelaide.
And then for the time at least I hoped all the hectic days of association with detectives and police would be over, and that I should see no more of Larose or Dayus, or any of the others.
