Although it was not much after nine o’clock, the village already seemed to be deeply asleep. The cottages, the church, the farm buildings, all struck her as strangely dark and deserted. There was something sinister in the darkness. She walked on. She no longer felt as though she had escaped. Depression closed in on her. She had the sensation of having come to a place that had recently been abandoned by all its inhabitants. The dark dwellings surrounding the green had an ominous secret air. Perhaps if she entered one she would find the occupants sitting dead round the table, overtaken by some sudden, unimaginable doom. (p 250)
