Explore "The Caves of Shend" by David Hennessey on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Neither Beatrice nor Grace had visited the subterranean apartment and caves below 'The Towers,' although they had both of them more than once expressed a wish to do so. The doctor, however, had shown no desire to gratify their curiosity, and the day of the trial drew near.
One morning Bruce and Seymour arrived unexpectedly at 'The Towers' at a somewhat early hour. They wished to follow up a clue which they imagined they had got hold of, and asked for permission to make further investigations below. The doctor happened to be at home, so the ladies urged that they should form a party, and in company with the detectives, explore the much-talked-of caves and passages.
