Mary was worried as she glanced sidelong into the glass. He was watching her again. Every night now for weeks he had sat opposite her on the way home He had 5 never said anything. Just stared. Of course when she looked at him, he was always busy reading his paper. But when her eyes left his face, she knew he watched her again. He was a pleasant-looking young man ofabout twenty, fair moustache and fine brown eyes. However, that unnerving gaze of his - like acat watching a bird - haunted her.

Before she could close the door she fell, sprawling painfully as she missed a step. She stared up, numbed with fear as the man towered over her. "Mary? Mary Irwin? Iwant " He bent towards her.
