Transcription: It seemed to me as though something dark stood behind the seat where the white figure shone, and bent over it. What it was, whether man or beast, I could not tell. I did not wait to catch another glance, but flew down the steep steps to the pier, and along by the fish-market to the bridge, which was the only way to reach the east cliff. The time and distance seemed endless, and my knees trembled, and my breath came laboured as I toiled up the endless steps to the Abbey.
