"I will open this locket, take out its contents, whatever they may be, and reclose it so that the maker, if still alive which is not very probable should not know that it had been meddled with."

Egerton heard the well-known step advancing near and nearer up the corridor, heard the door open and reclose; and he felt, by one of those strange and unaccountable instincts which we call forebodings, that the hour he had dreaded for so many secret years had come at last.

Said, selecting a key from a bunch which he carried, opened one of the doors, held it ajar for Soames to enter, and permitted it to reclose behind him. Soames entered nervously. He found himself in a room identical in size with his own private apartment; a bathroom, etc., opened out of it in one corner after the same fashion. But there similarity ended.
Presently the three went out. The door almost burst off its hinges when it was opened, and it required John's utmost strength to reclose it.
