For some minutes, all was quiet in the street. Then from across the street someone came walking.
It looked like a man of middle height, dressed in a big raincoat, a soft hat and rubber-soled boots or shoes, and making little sound while walking. No one was in sight. It was a street with two rows of about fifty small houses and there were three lamps on either side. The lamp nearest to the childs house could be seen clearly, but the others were almost hidden by the smoky air. A car passed the end of the street and its lights showed faintlybut clearly enough to show the smooth skin of a womans face. The car disappeared as the woman, wrapped up in her coat, reached the doorway of the childs house. She put a key in the lock quickly, pushed the door open and stepped inside, then closed the door without looking round. She began to breathe hard.
