A church clock struck two as an uninvited visitor quietly entered at the rear of the house and, with a shaded light, passed through the kitchen, made his way to the hall and began to climb the stairs. On the first floor the visitor moved along the corridor, stopped, silently opened a door, entered the room and crossed to a bed. The dim light from the lamp showed two figures lying still under the thin white sheet. The light was placed carefully on a table at the bedside and soft sounds of movement were followed by two clear metallic clicks. A hand moved into the narrow light thrown by the shaded lamp, gripped the sheet and pulled it sharply back to reveal two naked bodies. The oath which sprang to the lips of one was instantly drowned by the crash of a pistol shot and his body was thrown back onto the bed. The other man gave a high-pitched scream of terror and pulled up the sheet as if it might afford some protection. Another shot filled the room with sound and the note of the scream changed from terror to pain.
