The Mystery of Cloomber
Authorship not stated
You are John West, moved with your father and sister Esther to a remote Wigtownshire agency after his scholarship outpaced his rent. From the fishing boat you watch two lights descend the stairs of Cloomber Hall, empty for years, and that night find its new tenant, a general who bolts three new locks against a threat he will not name. A drum sounds from the empty shore, and his daughter Mordaunt calls down that the mark has reached the inside of the tower window.
