It seems, however, that there must have been some short cut for those who knew it, for before I had reached the road I was astounded to see Miss Stapleton sitting upon a rock by the side of the track.
Existe sin embargo, al parecer, algún atajo que utilizan quienes conocen mejor la zona, porque antes de alcanzar la carretera me quedé pasmado al ver a la señorita Stapleton sentada en una roca al borde del camino.
