There was the place where Carfax had fallen.
Bunker was smelling with his head down at the ground.

What did the dog remember?
What had Craven meant when he said that Bunker had found the matchbox?
He stood silently looking down at the Hollow.

In his heart now there was no terror.

When, during these last days, he had been fighting his fear it had always seemed to him that the heart of it lay in this Hollow.

He had always seen the dripping fern, smelt the wet earth, heard the sound of the mist falling from the trees.
