He appeared to be somewhat excited, and went about his operations with an air at once of slyness and of mystery. A small torch or nut-candle which he lighted and set on a bracket on the wall gave out a faint flickering light, which barely rendered darkness visible, and from its position threw parts of the chamber into deepest gloom.
