Original complete short passage, 'Pool timer': The drained pool held a ladder's shadow instead of water. Tess checked the doors while the caretaker disconnected the wall timer. He put it beside the discarded signs. She picked it up, pressed the silent start button and smiled briefly at the dark face. At the gate she handed it back, but watched until he set it safely in his van.
