Yet
their
conviction
that
they
had
,
that
very
moment
,
heard
somebody
moving
in
the
room
had
amounted
to
a
certainty
.
For
half
a
minute
,
perhaps
,
they
stood
gaping
,
then
Mrs.
Bunting
went
across
the
room
and
looked
behind
the
screen
,
while
Mr.
Bunting
,
by
a
kindred
impulse
,
peered
under
the
desk
.
Then
Mrs.
Bunting
turned
back
the
window-curtains
,
and
Mr.
Bunting
looked
up
the
chimney
and
probed
it
with
the
poker
.
Then
Mrs.
Bunting
scrutinised
the
waste-paper
basket
and
Mr.
Bunting
opened
the
lid
of
the
coal-scuttle
.
Then
they
came
to
a
stop
and
stood
with
eyes
interrogating
each
other
.
"
I
could
have
sworn
--
"
said
Mr.
Bunting
.
"
The
candle
!
"
said
Mr.
Bunting
.
"
Who
lit
the
candle
?
"
"
The
drawer
!
"
said
Mrs.
Bunting
.
"
And
the
money
's
gone
!
"
She
went
hastily
to
the
doorway
.
"
Of
all
the
strange
occurrences
--
"
There
was
a
violent
sneeze
in
the
passage
.
They
rushed
out
,
and
as
they
did
so
the
kitchen
door
slammed
.
"
Bring
the
candle
,
"
said
Mr.
Bunting
,
and
led
the
way
.
They
both
heard
a
sound
of
bolts
being
hastily
shot
back
.
As
he
opened
the
kitchen
door
he
saw
through
the
scullery
that
the
back
door
was
just
opening
,
and
the
faint
light
of
early
dawn
displayed
the
dark
masses
of
the
garden
beyond
.
He
is
certain
that
nothing
went
out
of
the
door
.
It
opened
,
stood
open
for
a
moment
,
and
then
closed
with
a
slam
.
As
it
did
so
,
the
candle
Mrs.
Bunting
was
carrying
from
the
study
flickered
and
flared
.
It
was
a
minute
or
more
before
they
entered
the
kitchen
.
The
place
was
empty
.
They
refastened
the
back
door
,
examined
the
kitchen
,
pantry
,
and
scullery
thoroughly
,
and
at
last
went
down
into
the
cellar
.
There
was
not
a
soul
to
be
found
in
the
house
,
search
as
they
would
.
