After a pause, he added: "What I am going to tell you is known to no one else, and must not be mentioned by you  anyhow, in my lifetime, You know now that, owing to the death of my father when quite young, I and my brother and sister were brought up here with our grandfather, Sir Richard. AFTER A PAUSE HE ADDED WHAT I AM GOING TO TELL YOU IS KNOWN TO NO ONE ELSE AND MUST NOT BE MENTIONED BY YOU ANYHOW IN MY LIFETIME YOU KNOW NOW THAT OWING TO THE DEATH OF MY FATHER WHEN QUITE YOUNG I AND MY BROTHER AND SISTER WERE BROUGHT UP HERE WITH OUR GRANDFATHER SIR RICHARD
rue, as my brother said, that steps have been heard about this house, but I never gave heed to such things, putting all noises down to rats. But after your experiences I feel that it is due to you to tell you something, and also to make to you an explanation. There is--there was--no one in the room at the end of the corridor, except the skeleton that was discovered in the chalk-pit when you were here many years ago. I confess I had not paid much heed to it. My archæological fancies passed; I had no visits from anthropologists; the bones and skull were never shown to experts, but remained packed in a chest in that lumber-room. I confess I ought to have buried them, having no more scientific use for them, but I did not--on my word, I forgot all about them, or, at least, gave no heed to them. However, what you have gone through, and have described to me, has made me uneasy, and has also given me a suspicion that I can account for that body in a manner that had never occurred to me before. TER LAST NIGHT IT IS QUITE TRUE AS MY BROTHER SAID THAT STEPS HAVE BEEN HEARD ABOUT THIS HOUSE BUT I NEVER GAVE HEED TO SUCH THINGS PUTTING ALL NOISES DOWN TO RATS BUT AFTER YOUR EXPERIENCES I FEEL THAT IT IS DUE TO YOU TO TELL YOU SOMETHING AND ALSO TO MAKE TO YOU AN EXPLANATION THERE IS THERE WAS NO ONE IN THE ROOM AT THE END OF THE CORRIDOR EXCEPT THE SKELETON THAT WAS DISCOVERED IN THE CHALK PIT WHEN YOU WERE HERE MANY YEARS AGO I CONFESS I HAD NOT PAID MUCH HEED TO IT MY ARCHAEOLOGICAL FANCIES PASSED I HAD NO VISITS FROM ANTHROPOLOGISTS THE BONES AND SKULL WERE NEVER SHOWN TO EXPERTS BUT REMAINED PACKED IN A CHEST IN THAT LUMBER ROOM I CONFESS I OUGHT TO HAVE BURIED THEM HAVING NO MORE SCIENTIFIC USE FOR THEM BUT I DID NOT ON MY WORD I FORGOT ALL ABOUT THEM OR AT LEAST GAVE NO HEED TO THEM HOWEVER WHAT YOU HAVE GONE THROUGH AND HAVE DESCRIBED TO ME HAS MADE ME UNEASY AND HAS ALSO GIVEN ME A SUSPICION THAT I CAN ACCOUNT FOR THAT BODY IN A MANNER THAT HAS NEVER OCCURRED TO ME BEFORE
