Part of the farmhouse was dry, where the roof was not broken. There was a wood fire on the floor and a bed in the corner. A lamp stood on a table with a pile of papers next to it.
I went into the farmhouse carefully. I put my hand into my jacket pocket where I kept mu army revolver. I walked slowly to the table and looked at the of papers. I saw one of my own letters. Someone had stolen one of my own letters!
Who lived in the farmhouse? was it the man with the black beard? Was it the man I had seen on the Tor?
