Excerpt from Through the Long Night, Vol. 3 of 3
When Anthony came home rather late from his magisterial duties at that distant town, he found his household in consternation. Mrs. Harford, they said, had gone for a walk before luncheon and had not returned. No one had seen her save the nurse, who, as she passed the window - called into the inner room by the cry of the awakening child - caught a glimpse of her young mistress standing on the upper terrace as if looking at the view beyond. When she repassed with the child Mrs. Harford was not there. Save for this rapid glimpse, which told nothing, no one else knew of her movements. The gardeners and workpeople were at dinner none of the servants were about; for the mo ment the place was deserted, and witness there was none. She had disappeared as if she had sunk into the central fire or had evaporated like a dewdrop into space.
