THE ESCAPE

i have a confused remembrance of
Godfrey STOPPING for an instant above
the body, staring at it, and then, with
a sharp cry, hurting himself through
that open doorway. A door slammed
somewhere, there was a sound of rum
ming feet, and before either Simmonds
or myself understood what was hap
pening, Godfrey was back in the room,
crossed it at a bound, and dashed to
the door opening into the hall, just as
it was slammed in his face.
l saw him tear desperately at the
knob, then retreat two steps and hurl
himself against it. But it held firm
and from the hall outside came a burst
of knocking laughter that fairly froze
my blood
Come here. o fools" cried God
frey between clenched teeth. Don't
you see he's getting away"
Simmonds was quicker than I and
together they threw themselves at the
door. 1t cracked ominously, but still
held: again they tried and this time
it split from top to bottom. Godfrey
kicked the pieces to either side and
Slipped between them, Simmends after
him.
Then, In a sort of trance, l stag
gered to 1t. and after a moments aim

when Godfrey came back, breathing
