the Union Mill is where that hellspawn will be heading,’ said the burly, bearded Irishman. ‘Where it eluded me the last time.’

      ‘Hellspawn?’ repeated his companion with the ginger side whiskers. ‘What has become of the rationalist and his steadfast belief in a natural, scientific explanation for the events here?’

      ‘When a fiend fresh out of Hades knocks your hat off, only a dunce would claim it was the wind. No one’s ever seen anything like that before.’

      ‘Mark the way it wheels about up there. Why such brazen dilly-dallying? I find that singularly suspicious.’

These are the murkiest and deepest waters we have ever waded in. But come – let us hunt our quarry through field and thicket and, as I always say when we embark upon these perilous undertakings, Here’s to our enterprise !’

      On the quayside, Grace Pickering’s discarded body lay by the barrels. Her blood trickled in a vivid stream over the flagstones until it reached the edge, where it dripped into the river.
