"a single thin ray [of light] fell upon the vulture eye
"I put in a dark lantern, all closed, closed, that no light shone out"
"...And then, when my head was well in the room...(for the hinges creaked)"
"So I opened it --you cannot imagine how stealthily, stealthily"
"His room was as black as pitch with the thick darkness..."
"...I grew furious as I gazed upon it."
"...pulled the heavy bed over him...heart beat on with a muffled sound."
"...for the shutters were close fastened, through fear of robbers..."
" It increased my fury, as the beating of a drum stimulates the soldier into courage."
