Polly is walking through the fog. She
cannot see where she is going. She believes she can
hear footsteps behind her, but when she stops there
is complete silence. Is someone following her? Perhaps
it is the tall man who was watching her earlier on the
train ... Then she hears a deep cough, and a strange
tapping sound. Is Polly in danger?
Sir Nathanial Marks is a rich businessman. He walks
into a small bank and asks to borrow one hundred pounds.
The manager wants to please this important customer,
and lends him the money. Then Sir Nathanial says the
bank must take his large, expensive car in order to
make the loan safe. The car is worth very much more
than one hundred pounds. Is Sir Nathanial mad, or is
there a reason for his behaviour?
In these and five other short stories, Bill Lowe presents
us with a number of strange mysteries, and some surprising
endings. |
