Second Sight
“Upon the hollows and passes of the deer forest, darkness would be settling down, and though there was no need for anxiety, still there was always that odd chance of an accident, of the unforeseen.
There was, of course, a far greater chance that Harry Kingsley had been led over the hills and far away by the elusive King Brude, whose “wind-blown” antlers were becoming a legend of the forest. Disturbed by an involuntary vision of Harry’s triumph, Geoffrey Smith got up and moved restlessly towards ...the bookcase. As it was not a vision he wanted to believe in, he tried to ease the stress of the moment by making a jocular reference to Harry’s usual luck.
Sir John Marway, a tall lean man, with a head of strong dark-grey hair, stood with his back to the fire, smiling at the cannibal trout (12 lb.2 oz.) in the glass case over the door into the hall, for his daughter, Helen, had promptly dropped her book on the couch and accused Geoffrey of being jealous.
“Well, obviously!” replied Geoffrey.MoreLess
