John
,
"
said
Lord
Sannox
,
"
you
will
take
the
doctor
home
first
.
He
will
want
leading
downstairs
,
I
think
.
Tell
his
butler
that
he
has
been
taken
ill
at
a
case
.
"
"
Very
good
,
sir
.
"
"
Then
you
can
take
Lady
Sannox
home
.
"
"
And
how
about
yourself
,
sir
?
"
"
Oh
,
my
address
for
the
next
few
months
will
be
Hotel
di
Roma
,
Venice
.
Just
see
that
the
letters
are
sent
on
.
And
tell
Stevens
to
exhibit
all
the
purple
chrysanthemums
next
Monday
,
and
to
wire
me
the
result
.
"
The
following
narrative
was
found
among
the
papers
of
Dr
.
James
Hardcastle
,
who
died
of
phthisis
on
February
4th
,
1908
,
at
36
,
Upper
Coventry
Flats
,
South
Kensington
.
Those
who
knew
him
best
,
while
refusing
to
express
an
opinion
upon
this
particular
statement
,
are
unanimous
in
asserting
that
he
was
a
man
of
a
sober
and
scientific
turn
of
mind
,
absolutely
devoid
of
imagination
,
and
most
unlikely
to
invent
any
abnormal
series
of
events
.
The
paper
was
contained
in
an
envelope
,
which
was
docketed
,
"
A
Short
Account
of
the
Circumstances
which
occurred
near
Miss
Allerton
’
s
Farm
in
North
-
West
Derbyshire
in
the
Spring
of
Last
Year
.
"
The
envelope
was
sealed
,
and
on
the
other
side
was
written
in
pencil
—
DEAR
SEATON
,
—
"
It
may
interest
,
and
perhaps
pain
you
,
to
know
that
the
incredulity
with
which
you
met
my
story
has
prevented
me
from
ever
opening
my
mouth
upon
the
subject
again
.
I
leave
this
record
after
my
death
,
and
perhaps
strangers
may
be
found
to
have
more
confidence
in
me
than
my
friend
.
"
Inquiry
has
failed
to
elicit
who
this
Seaton
may
have
been
.
I
may
add
that
the
visit
of
the
deceased
to
Allerton
’
s
Farm
,
and
the
general
nature
of
the
alarm
there
,
apart
from
his
particular
explanation
,
have
been
absolutely
established
.
With
this
foreword
I
append
his
account
exactly
as
he
left
it
.
It
is
in
the
form
of
a
diary
,
some
entries
in
which
have
been
expanded
,
while
a
few
have
been
erased
.

Already
I
feel
the
benefit
of
this
wonderful
upland
air
.
The
farm
of
the
Allertons
lies
fourteen
hundred
and
twenty
feet
above
sea
-
level
,
so
it
may
well
be
a
bracing
climate
.
