"
I
was
asleep
,
and
woke
suddenly
with
the
same
horrible
feeling
on
me
that
Father
was
in
great
and
immediate
danger
.
I
jumped
up
and
ran
,
just
as
I
was
,
into
his
room
.
It
was
nearly
pitch
dark
,
but
as
I
opened
the
door
there
was
light
enough
to
see
Father
's
nightdress
as
he
lay
on
the
floor
under
the
safe
,
just
as
on
that
first
awful
night
.
Then
I
think
I
must
have
gone
mad
for
a
moment
.
"
She
stopped
and
shuddered
.
My
eyes
lit
on
Sergeant
Daw
,
still
fiddling
in
an
aimless
way
with
the
revolver
.
Mindful
of
my
work
with
the
tourniquet
,
I
said
calmly
:
"
Now
tell
us
,
Sergeant
Daw
,
what
did
you
fire
at
?
"
The
policeman
seemed
to
pull
himself
together
with
the
habit
of
obedience
.
Looking
around
at
the
servants
remaining
in
the
room
,
he
said
with
that
air
of
importance
which
,
I
take
it
,
is
the
regulation
attitude
of
an
official
of
the
law
before
strangers
:
"
Do
n't
you
think
,
sir
,
that
we
can
allow
the
servants
to
go
away
?
We
can
then
better
go
into
the
matter
.
"
I
nodded
approval
;
the
servants
took
the
hint
and
withdrew
,
though
unwillingly
,
the
last
one
closing
the
door
behind
him
.
Then
the
Detective
went
on
:
"
I
think
I
had
better
tell
you
my
impressions
,
sir
,
rather
than
recount
my
actions
.
That
is
,
so
far
as
I
remember
them
.
"
There
was
a
mortified
deference
now
in
his
manner
,
which
probably
arose
from
his
consciousness
of
the
awkward
position
in
which
he
found
himself
.
"
I
went
to
sleep
half-dressed
--
as
I
am
now
,
with
a
revolver
under
my
pillow
.
It
was
the
last
thing
I
remember
thinking
of
.
I
do
not
know
how
long
I
slept
.
I
had
turned
off
the
electric
light
,
and
it
was
quite
dark
.
I
thought
I
heard
a
scream
;
but
I
ca
n't
be
sure
,
for
I
felt
thick-headed
as
a
man
does
when
he
is
called
too
soon
after
an
extra
long
stretch
of
work
.
Not
that
such
was
the
case
this
time
.
Anyhow
my
thoughts
flew
to
the
pistol
.
I
took
it
out
,
and
ran
on
to
the
landing
.
Then
I
heard
a
sort
of
scream
,
or
rather
a
call
for
help
,
and
ran
into
this
room
.
The
room
was
dark
,
for
the
lamp
beside
the
Nurse
was
out
,
and
the
only
light
was
that
from
the
landing
,
coming
through
the
open
door
.
Miss
Trelawny
was
kneeling
on
the
floor
beside
her
father
,
and
was
screaming
.
I
thought
I
saw
something
move
between
me
and
the
window
;
so
,
without
thinking
,
and
being
half
dazed
and
only
half
awake
,
I
shot
at
it
.
It
moved
a
little
more
to
the
right
between
the
windows
,
and
I
shot
again
.
Then
you
came
up
out
of
the
big
chair
with
all
that
muffling
on
your
face
.
It
seemed
to
me
,
being
as
I
say
half
dazed
and
half
awake
--
I
know
,
sir
,
you
will
take
this
into
account
--
as
if
it
had
been
you
,
being
in
the
same
direction
as
the
thing
I
had
fired
at
.
And
so
I
was
about
to
fire
again
when
you
pulled
off
the
wrap
.
"
Here
I
asked
him
--
I
was
cross-examining
now
and
felt
at
home
:
"
You
say
you
thought
I
was
the
thing
you
fired
at
.
What
thing
?
"
The
man
scratched
his
head
,
but
made
no
reply
.
"
Come
,
sir
,
"
I
said
,
"
what
thing
;
what
was
it
like
?
"
The
answer
came
in
a
low
voice
:
"
I
do
n't
know
,
sir
.
I
thought
there
was
something
;
but
what
it
was
,
or
what
it
was
like
,
I
have
n't
the
faintest
notion
.
I
suppose
it
was
because
I
had
been
thinking
of
the
pistol
before
I
went
to
sleep
,
and
because
when
I
came
in
here
I
was
half
dazed
and
only
half
awake
--
which
I
hope
you
will
in
future
,
sir
,
always
remember
.
"
He
clung
to
that
formula
of
excuse
as
though
it
were
his
sheet-anchor
.
I
did
not
want
to
antagonise
the
man
;
on
the
contrary
I
wanted
to
have
him
with
us
.
Besides
,
I
had
on
me
at
that
time
myself
the
shadow
of
my
own
default
;
so
I
said
as
kindly
as
I
knew
how
:
