(The information can be safely revealed, Arthur, for it will go unheard, like the sound of a tree falling in the woods, in which it is doubtful anyone exists.)
No, it’s a half-a-mile away. Now that the friend has arrived, I’m going to take a closer look and see if it really is a body. I will report back.
This would be a good hideout for a murderer, though. If you were surrounded by the police you could silently swim out the back way.

(Lovely parallel pictures! Real and fictitious. I wonder which one precede the other?)
That’s a good question. The Norwegian example is one of those nice wooden buildings where the roof hasn’t been looked after and so the whole thing is rotting away. I hate to see that!
