Blush, blush, Dave.

The implication is in this paragraph: 
<<The wealthy man who owned the Riddle House these days neither lived
there nor put it to any use; they said in the village that he kept it
for "tax reasons," though nobody was very clear what these might be. The
wealthy owner continued to pay Frank to do the gardening, however. Frank
was nearing his seventy-seventh birthday now, very deaf, his bad leg
stiffer than ever, but could be seen pottering around the flower beds in
fine weather, even though the weeds were starting to creep up on him,
try as he might to suppress them. >>
