Annotated text:
I had seen, day after day, every sunlit or night
obscured detail of the funny old house I had
visited so many years ago. Through it,
handsome, cadaverous and so quiet, had walked
Death himself, tapping unnoticed at the very
walls of the mansions of life ; trying here,
failing there, lightly fingering for the sign of a
breach. A tiny opening. Apparently the person
who slept in the lock-up at that county town
on the Severn, or perhaps woke, would hear
this time. I had found that I could face my
usual mixture of Peaberry Mysore and Blue
Mountain. I had made certain havoc of two on
toast, their silver skins laced with their golden
blood. To think of the tiny Clem mixed up, nay,
a prime mover, in such affairs. Useful,
courteous little chip of a bat. He had hushed
my brat for me when he was only six, one
morning on which I had wanted to go out for a
walk.
