Hide the Baron (2014)
“A long way off there were rustling sounds, but that was all. He lay on his back, eyes closed, willing sleep to come. He had not given up his anxieties, but he could see nothing else that he could do. Entry through the roof was possible, but the top floor had been sealed off; what was there to worry about? He was super-sensitive, partly because of what had happened to Lorna. He saw more clearly what Bristow had been getting at about his mood.
Wise bird, Bristow!
He was almost asleep when... he heard another rustling sound, which wasn’t quite the same as before. He raised his head, so as to listen more intently. It was very slight, and seemed to come from opposite the foot of the bed, near the chimney.
He sat up.
He heard another slightly different sound, as if something had dropped on the hearth; something so tiny that it made practically no sound at all.
