Excerpt
The statue stood in the exact centre of the clearing, which was a circle. From this circle four paths, cut in the wood, radiated like the spokes of a wheel. Three of them she found later were dummies—blind alleys leading nowhither. The fourth led into the bridle path which she had passed upon her way. This fourth, faced by the statue which looked down the long, narrow length of it, was the approach proper to the circle, and on each side of it was a stone seat. In the mouth of each of the other three, using it, indeed, as the niche which in point of fact it was, stood a terminal.
