A deafening double knock had resounded through the empty house; and to add to the utter horror of the moment,\nRaffles instantly blew out the light. I heard my heart pounding. Neither of us breathed. We were on our way down to the first landing, and for a moment we stood like mice; then Raffles heaved a deep sigh, and in the depths I heard the gate swing home.\n\"Only the postman, Bunny! He will come now and again, though they have obviously left instructions at the post-office. I hope the old colonel will let them have it when he gets back. I confess it gave me a turn.\"\n\"Turn!\" I gasped. \"I must have a drink, if I die for it.\"\n\"My dear Bunny, that's no part of my Rest Cure.\"",

Aren't you afraid of smoke?\"\n\"There's a gas-stove in the dining-room.\"\n\"But surely to goodness,\" I cried, \"there's a cellar lower down!\"\n\"My dear, good Bunny,\" said Raffles, \"I've told you already that I didn't come in here on business. I came in for the Cure. Not a penny will these people be the worse, except for their washing and their electric light, and I mean to leave enough to cover both items.\"",
