A short story written for broadcasting by J. Wood Palmer , and read by the author
This is a story that should delight lovers of the uncanny. The setting is a converted water-mill in Somerset to which the Medways, a prosaic, thirty-ish couple, flee for refuge at the time of the September, 1938, crisis.
There would be no reason to suppose that either of these people should be open to uncanny influences, yet little by little the strange atmosphere of the mill, the ceaseless roaring of the mill race, and the sinister and mysterious aspect of the gardener begin to get upon Mary Medway 's nerves. She finds that she cannot keep away from the mill pool which is guarded only by three stakes driven into the ground. These seem to her inadequate protection, and it is upon the possible addition of a fourth stake that the plot of the story depends.
