The men were soaked. Then came the thunder in a burst of fury and noise. The lightning flashed almost continuously, not only down, but aslant, and even Bob thought up. The thunder roared and reverberated and reëchoed until the world was filled with its crashes.
And so they waited, the Cardinals in their thrones beside the high-altar, and the man who had lost his memory beside them; while the organ pealed out continuously overhead and endless footsteps went to and fro over the carpeted ways and the open stone spaces of the transepts.
