And suddenly he saw her at her window, looking out. He moved a little from the yew tree, and<br />

whispered: “Megan!” She drew back, vanished, reappeared, leaning far down. He stole forward<br />

on the grass patch, hit his shin against the green-painted chair, and held his breath at the sound.<br />
