There was no row-boat in the channel yet, and I might have to wait hours.

I settled myself snugly between two rocks, where I could not be seen, and where I had a clear view of the sea and shore.

But presently I found that I wanted some long heather to make a couch, and I emerged to get some.

I had not raised my head for a second when I flopped down again.

For I had a neighbour on the hill-top.
He was about two hundred yards off, just reaching the crest, and, unlike me, walking quite openly.
