JM Walsh I CAUGHT but a fleeting glimpse of the movement, and there was only one thing about it to which I could have sworn positively then or later. Unless my eyes were playing unwonted tricks a dim figure had, at the mere sight of me, slid furtively back into the dappled shadows which fringed the opening of the narrow passageway like a frill of dingy lace. Somehow though the idea impressed itself on my mind that the figure was that of a woman. Whether she was young or old remained to be determined. Still the quickness with which she had withdrawn suggested youth and activity. An older person would have moved a trifle more slowly. But if my reasoning were correct it was odd that she should have flitted away from me. I would have been far less surprised had she stopped and whispered enticingly out of the gloom. That would 'have seemed supremely natural. Indeed there was only one kind of man at whom I could imagine such a one shying, and whatever else I may look like I have certainly never been mistaken for a policeman. |
