Excerpt from The Fowler: Our Soul Is Escaped Even as a Bird Out of the Snare of the Fowler
It was about eleven o'clock on a summer morning when a little man of rather eccentric appearance crossed the moat of Graystoke Castle, and finding a bell hanging outside the quaint old gate-house, pulled it violently. No one answered. He rang once more, and still could not gain admittance.
"It is a relief to find that no one is living at high pressure here, he said. I will smoke a cigarette, and wait patiently."
He lit a cigarette and leaned against the fence. He was unusually short and slight of stature; thin-drawn lips, clean-shaven face, and double eye-glasses attached to broad black ribbon were his other characteristics. He might equally well have been taken for a young boy or a little old man, until you looked into his face and knew that he could never have been young - that, he was probably born at the age of thirty-six, and had remained there ever since.
He threw away the end of his cigarette, and pulled the bell again, this time with undue violence. Then a bolt was drawn, and the old gate swung slowly back, and a woman stepped forward. She seemed vexed at being disturbed.
