The marquis entered at once, M. de Rosny followed, I brought up the rear; and the door was closed by a man who stood behind it. We found ourselves crowded together at the foot of a very narrow staircase, which the doorkeeper a stolid pikeman in a grey uniform, with a small lanthorn swinging from the crosspiece of his halberd signed to us to ascend.
