She had the strangest feeling that someone was

watching them. Looking around, she thought she
caught a glimpse of the person in the overcoat

she’d seen earlier in the alcove. This time she was

pretty sure it looked like a man. Was he wearing a
mustache? Before she could double-check, he van-

ished into a shop across the street, so she couldn’t
be sure.
