"As for my favourite lurking scene, it's at the end of PM when the Ds lurk in the wood above Beckfoot waiting for the GA to leave. They can't actually see anything; it's all described in sound. A lovely scene, and beautifully written. (PM, JC 1948, pp.298-9)"
AFAICR, the Ds were on the ridge between the lawn and the lake, and were looking down on the lawn. They couldn't see the actual departure because that was in the stable yard where the car had turned around preparatory to taking the GA to the station.
