It appeared to Horne that both men looked puzzled and vaguely excited . But their story was soon told . They had seen Richard Stimson , a labourer , who reported having noticed a strange lady crossing the park in the direction of the wood , which , however , she had not entered , having finally changed her course so as to bear towards the Western Lodge and the allotments . `` That , you will observe , was about ten o'clock , '' interjected French , `` and I saw my lady about eight . '' Buntingford found a chair , lit a cigarette , and resumed : `` She appeared in the village some time yesterday morning and went into the church . She told the woman who was cleaning there that she had come to look at an old window which was mentioned in her guide-book . The woman noticed that she stayed some time looking at the monuments in the church , and the tombs in the Buntingford chantry , which all the visitors go to see .
