The Glass House (34 page)

I continued to drink my coffee, and
Bartholomew and I continued to speculate on the pranks until I
sought my bed and slumber. The matter of Middleton, for the time,
was dropped.

But the matter reasserted itself almost
immediately. Bartholomew woke me early the next morning to tell me
that Middleton had been killed in the night, his body fetched up in
a lock of the nearby canal.
