"In this early stage I want you to realize these geographical features, which may have a good deal to do with our investigation."
"Look at this map. This dark square is the Priory School. I'll put a pin on it. Now, this line is the main road. You see that it runs east and west past the school, and you see also there is no side-road for a mile either way."
"At this point, where my pipe is now resting, a country constable was on duty from twelve to six. It is , as you perceive, the first cross-road on the east side."
"We have now to deal with the other. There is an inn here, the 'Red Bull', the landlady of which was ill."
"On the south of the house is, as you perceive, a large district of arable land, cut up into small fields, with stone walls between them. . . We turn to the country on the north. Here there lies a grove of trees, marked as the 'Ragged Shaw', and on the farther side stretches a great rolling moor, Lower Gill Moor, extending for ten miles, and sloping gradually upwards."
