The Doctor of Pimlico: Being the Disclosure of a Great Crime
Enid Drew Back In Terror
( The Doctor of Pimlico )
A grey, sunless morning on the Firth of Tay.
Across a wide, sandy waste stretching away to the misty sea at Budden, four men were walking. Two wore uniform—one an alert, grey-haired general, sharp and brusque in manner, with many war ribbons across his tunic; the other a tall, thin-faced staff captain, who wore the tartan of the Gordon Highlanders. With them were two civilians, both in rough shooting-jackets and breeches, one about forty-five, the other a few years his junior.
Can you see them, Fellowes? asked the general of the long-legged captain, scanning the distant horizon with those sharp grey eyes which had carried him safely through many campaigns.
No, sir, replied the captain, who was carrying the other's mackintosh. I fancy they must be farther over to the left, behind those low mounds yonder.
