We held our noses as we skirted this shocking place, and we were glad enough when we got beyond it and came to the entrance to the temple a very noble portal, severely simple, and because of its simplicity the more majestic, in which, as in the whole of the façade, was manifest the grave and sombre Egyptian feeling that I had before observed.
Never had so vast and black a presentment of slumber, so instinct with the sovereign nobility of death, appeared to Pierre.

Only one of the folding doors was now open at the end of the right-hand porticus, where the increasing density of the gloom steeped everything in night.
And while absorbed in this communion Mistress Dudley heard the tramp of many footsteps in the street, and, looking out at the window, beheld what she construed as the royal governor's arrival. "Oh, happy day! Oh, blessed, blessed hour!" she exclaimed. "Let me but bid him welcome within the portal, and my task in the province-house and on earth is done."
