I opened the shutters and looked out. The car stood where I had left it.
Suddenly I realized that they were not paying attention to me any longer. They were muttering something and all were looking in the same direction. I turned my head and looked where they all were looking. A man was coming slowly down a steep little street that led uphill between the house on my right.
On my left I saw the lights of the first house of the village. And I was hurrying towards it through the wood when a sudden flash of light made me stop.
At that time I was looking for the job.
Miss Nobs did not see him leave the house. At half past four she made herself a cup of tea in a small recess off the main corridor.
The idea first occurred to me that afternoon as I was backing the car into the garage.
I probably dropped the key when I was fishing for small change in my bag at the news-stand.
All through the night I heard them work, open drawers, drag cases over the floor. They were packing.
