Oppressive dusk was drooping1 as Mr. Tuke came in sight of the lonely tavern2 on the downs. The inconsistent moodiness3 of autumn had fallen into another humour as the day declined. The steely thrust of wind at night—a morning cold and fair and pure, such as ever seems an earnest of weeks of serene4 tranquillity—and then, as noon ticked into evening, a dull fall in the barometer5, and gathering6 battalions7 of clouds rolling to the front, with a noise of rumbling8 in them like the labouring wheels of gun-carriages—such was the record of twenty-four hours.
 
Glancing with frowning eyes, at the little forlorn building livid above him against a wall of menacing purple, the horseman pricked9 his nag10 to the slight ascent11, and, clattering12 up to the inn door, flung himself out of the saddle and looped his reins13 to a ring set in the lintel-post.
 
Straightway he crossed the threshold, and turning sharply to the left, found himself in the room of the bay-window and the tap of the “Dog and Duck.”
 
Not a soul was in it—no sign of life, but, somewhere, a distant murmuring of voices.
