Two or three days before the date fixed for Rupert's departure, he was walking in the town with Mynheer Von Duyk and his daughter, when he observed a person gazing intently at him from the entrance to a small bylane.

Opposite the shops was the inn, the doctor's house, the market-house, and a public reading-room; and a bylane led from the green up towards the church--an old, low-walled, steep-roofed building, with a square, dumpy tower, in which hung a peal of bells, and where was placed a large, round, clumsy window.

Well, lad, I don't take friends from every bylane as a rule, yet I'll trust you with three-fold reason." He tapped his snuff-box significantly.

Dry bread--think of it! Oh, Dick, what can be the matter with him?" "It certainly sounds mysterious," I answered, "especially as regards the dry bread; but that of itself suggests a theory, which, as the detective says in the story, ’I will not divulge just yet’; only don’t worry, Lisbeth, the Imp is all right." Being now come to old Jasper’s cottage, which stands a little apart from the village in a bylane, Lisbeth paused and held out her hand for the basket.

Then she stole upstairs without returning to the kitchen and leaned out of her window till long after he had turned the corner of the bylane.
