Evidence of Things Seen
“Mountain Ridge Road circled the top of the mountain in a rough arc, meeting the route from Avebury at a point midway between that town and a village called Stormer. He drove the four miles to the Radford farm without passing more than two small dwellings and an icehouse; dense woodland was on his left, rolling meadows on his right.
He passed the culvert above the stream, the Radford farm, the branch to the cottage, and Mrs. Simms’ place; after that he saw no more houses for three miles, but... then came the scattered fringes of Avebury township. He stopped the car when he saw the top of a funerary monument showing to the left above a knoll.
Getting out, he walked up a grass-grown track to the top of the knoll, and looked down at a small old graveyard. A strip of pasture separated it from the woods beyond, and the track he had followed continued past the cemetery, across the field, and up to these woods; no doubt it became the trail that could be seen on the slope behind the cottage.MoreLess
