I was gazing airily into the muddy sky, when a roar issued from the door-way: "Monter les hommes!" or "Send the men up!" It was the beefy-necked. We filed from the cour, through the door, past a little window which I was told belonged to the kitchen, down the clammy corridor, up the three flights of stairs, to the door of The Enormous Room.
