"It is a marvellous reality. Yourself confessed it, professor." "A careless word, prematurely uttered, is not to be accepted as evidence," growled Barth. "Such astounding things demand time for consideration. They may be optical delusions," added Ingenhaus. "Ah, gentlemen, the fact is a stubborn one," laughed Count Langermann.
I take a pair of sharp scissors and, without shaking the threads, cut a few that are just visible at the base, where they are thickened with an added strand.

In the light of the marvellous results of the visit, the words of the aged chieftain seem prophetic.
Above them, by the lantern glow, I can see a marvellous frieze of dragons and water, carved in some rich wood by the hand of a master. Within I can see the symbols of Shinto, in a side shrine on the left; and directly before us the lanterns reveal a surface of matted floor vaster than anything I had expected to find. Therefrom I can divine the scale of the edifice which I suppose to be the temple.
