The night he was killed I found him in a rare funk in his room.

He rang his bell like a fury, and when I went up he swore he heard the footsteps of Remington just afore, running round the rocks outside of Flint House just as he heard him pattering along the rocks on the island that night.

I didn't believe 'un then, but I'm not so sure since.

If he's come back to get Turold it's for sure he's still somewhere about, waiting his chance to get me as well.
