And at that, I realized that it was nine o’clock and I had been away from my duty at The Broch all those hours without giving it a thought. Barr would be justified in thinking it more than casual of me. So I excused myself to Ingram and Joan, and set off on M‘Coul’s bike at a terrific bat, which of course I couldn’t keep up after I was through the village, owing to the darkness and the pot-holes of the road.

As for my state of mind, I felt cold and angry. Reaction after all my excitements and heroics. Just flat and cold and furious and unimaginative; remember that. It was a rotten night; raw and damp, with a wispy mist lying in patches on the moor. The sky was cloudy and wild, and on her back in the cloud-rack lay a weeping half-moon. It would rain before morning. I was thinking of nothing beyond what a vile day I’d had and how hungry I was, and how I ought to apologize at The Broch for having absented myself so long. As a matter of fact I needn’t have worried, as it turned out. Nobody but M‘Coul had missed me, as Charlie had spent the whole day busy in his study. But I didn’t know that as I went pedalling over that moorland road, swerving round the pot-holes I could see and lurching across those that took me unawares. I met no living creature on that journey; few people are abroad in the country at nine o’clock—and later—of an evening.
