C When I got to the top of the Hill the sun was already going down the sites on
green on one side and grey shadow on the other. There was no sound and nothing moved on the moon one
grezt grey bird fiew over my head. He and I seemed to be the only Going things between the blue sky and the
keep a person dry when the weather was bad. My heart jumped as I saw it. This must be the strangers is
place - I could now find out his Secret!
A little path through the rocks took me down to the door. Everything was quiet. The main might be mine
inside, or he might be outside on the moor. I dlosed my hand on the sun in my pocket walked quickly to the
door and looked in. The hut was empty
But I was right. This was the place where the man Gived. Some blankets in a comer showed me where the
slept I could see the ashes of a fire in the old fireplace. Next to it there were some cooking pots and a bucket
of water. Empty tins* were lying on the floor, so I knew that someone had used the place for several days. An
old table stood in the middle of the hut, and on this I found a small bag. Inside there was some bread, some
tins of meat and two tins of fruit
Then I noticed a piece of paper under the bag. I picked it up and read it. It said, Dr Watson has gone to
Coombe Tracey. This secret man was collecting information about me! Who was he? What was he doing here?
Was he my enemy? I knew I could not leave the hut until I had answers to these questions.
