Gabriel appeared in a pool of light.‘You’d better come in,’ he said.I was dying to ask why he’d scarpered off so quick, and to tell him all about Blondin’s poor little daughter. But he’d already taken my arm and was guiding me inside.‘I’ll be off, then,’ Ned said, and went without saying goodnight.This time I wasn’t asked to take my boots off; I trod mud into the carpet and was offered the very best chair.
