Despite Abe Diggott’s arrest, Lupton’s lackeys still patrolled the streets of the village to enforce the curfew. More important, however, they were on the lookout for Adam Diggott, also wanted for the brutal murder of Jeffrey Turgoose. Will Ketch and Josh Thornley had made good their escapes from their cottages unnoticed. Zeb Godson, living in the forest as he did, had not needed an alibi. “You seen him?” Ketch asked Godson. The charcoal burner’s eyes seemed to glow white from out of his grimy face. “He’ll be here.” They were sitting on the floor in front of a blazing fire that threw long shadows across the room. Nevertheless, the light was sufficient to allow them to see the fear on one another’s faces well enough. In the forest silence they heard an owl hoot. A few seconds later its call was answered by another. It seemed that even the night birds were mocking them, this party of fools, this band of Davids who would take on the might of Sir Montagu Malthus and his ilk.
