This time Paul was for some minutes in the berth. He came out, leaving the door unlocked as ordered, though shut, and stood beside Mr Lawrence to make his report.

At the conclusion of the service, Deacon Ringold called a few of the leading church members together and to them spoke his mind thus: "I was determined to try. I could see no other way of frightening and disgusting him." This was deliberately delivered and clearly heard, and, with a flourish of his hand, Lord Garlies stepped back. Four shadowy forms drifted apart and were lost in deeper shadows. The golden moon rode peacefully in the summer sky..
