But right then, the fluttering curtains made him recall a time when he'd caught a "peeping Tom" in his own backyard. The curtains had swayed in the same way.

Alistair was absolutely sure that there was someone standing behind those curtains on the second-floor balcony. And this person had been secretly watching him through the curtain slits.
