He got no further, for I was past
him like flash and out into the open.
The moors had gone; utterly van

lay a blanket of billowy white that
sent wild streamers upwards to the

the mist. A second shot followed.
And then, as if raised by these echoes,

free and that IL, miserable fool that
was, had failed in the trust which
