Hetty went back to the landing. The onion man had gone and her heart missed a beat. And then she breathed again, for se saw him speaking out of the open window at the other end of the landing. she hurried there. He did not here her coming. She looked down over his shoulder, She saw who he was speaking to, and she heard his words. He pulled himself in from the window, and turned. He saw Hetty standing over him, her sharp green eyes on him.
