Now I will tell you the story of Barrymore. I told Sir Henry that I had seen Barrymore signal with a candle. Sir Henry said, We will wait for him tonight, IF he signals again, we will catch him .
Sir Henry and I did not go to bed. We sat waiting in Sir Henry’s study until two o’clock in the morning. Then we heard footsteps outside the study .We listened. The footsteps went upstairs.
Sir Henry and I waited for two more minutes. Then we opened the door quietly. And went upstairs. We saw Barrymore by the large window at the end of the corridor. He had a candle in his hand and he was waving the candle in front of the window.
What are you doing, Barrymore? Sir Henry shouted. Barrymore almost dropped the candle. He looked frightened. Nothing, Sir Henry. He said. I’m checking the window, that’s all.
