front, and down to Sandy Toddle, who was
informing a bunch of unshaven bodies that the Gourlays were
"sequestered."

"Oh, my God, Post, what have you seen, to bring that look to your eyes?
What have you seen, man? Speak, for God's sake! What is it?"

The post gasped and stammered; then "Ooh!" he shivered in horror, and
covered his eyes, at a sudden picture in his brain.

"Speak!" said a man solemnly.

"They have--they have--they have a' killed themselves," stammered the
postman, pointing to the Gourlays.

Their loins were loosened beneath them. The scrape of their feet on the
road, as they turned to stare, sounded monstrous in the silence. No man
dared to speak. They gazed with blanched faces at the House with the
Green Shutters, sitting dark there and terrible beneath the radiant arch
of the dawn.
