"You say it was large?"
"Enormous."
"But it had not approached the body?"
"No."
"What sort of night was it?"
"Damp and raw."
"But not actually raining?"
"No."
"What was the alley like?"
"There are two lines of old yew hedge, twelve feet high
and impenetrable. The walk in the centre is about eight feet
across."
