Of course it was my own problem. Ian had told me the last bus always entered Little Sutton at ten thirty exactly and it was now ten to eleven.It would take me at least an hour and a half and possibly more to walk to my home in Forest End. But there was a full moon in the sky and I was quite used to walking much farther than that. Perhaps it was not a good idea to walk through the woods: Imight easily lose my way in the darkness. But it was nearer and I wanted to get home earlier.I was enjoying the smell of the woods when I heard a car drive slowly behind me. Was it my wrong feeling or was it really following me down the hill? Why did it move so slowly ? Would someone jump out with a knife? I decided to do something. I stopped and turned round to show that I was waiting for it to pass me. It stopped just beside me, the door opened and a man got out.
