As Samuel had said, the door of the walled-up house had just been disencumbered of the bricks, lead, and iron, which had kept it from view, and its panels of carved oak appeared as fresh and sound, as on the day when they had first been withdrawn from the influence of the air and time.
The walled-up, conical fireplaces and meal bins and corn caves of a pueblo people who lived on the site of modern Santa Fe hundreds of years before the Spanish founded this capital here in 1605. For years it has been a dispute among historians Bandelier, Hodge, Twitchell, Governor Prince, Mr. Reed whether any prehistoric race dwelt where Santa Fe now stands.
The air also was still as the air of a walled-up tomb, where there are but dry bones, and not even the wind of an evil vapour that rises from decay. And through the dead air came ever the low moaning of a distant sea, towards which my feet did bear me. I had been journeying thus for years, and in their lapse it had grown but a little louder. Suddenly I was aware that I was not alone.
Similar walled-up cists are likewise found, as we shall see later, in the cliff-houses of the Red-rock country, hence are not confined to the Verde system of ruins.
The water in the old sump had risen and flowed across the heading and the air-way and far up into the chambers, and he was compelled to go around it. The way was long and devious; it was blocked and barred; he had often to lay his burden down and make an opening through some walled-up entrance to give them room for passage.
The walls were thick, the screens sure.

The door of Eugenie's chamber was opposite to the walled-up entrance to this room.
They dropped down, and found that by the time they had reached the end of the portion illumined by the light which came down the hole, faint rays were there to meet them from the other end, the light striking in strongly from the bottom of the walled-up entrance, and showing that the floor which they had to follow was damp, but every drop of water had drained away.
They made their way up the chamber in silence, their limbs unsteady, their heads swimming, their hearts beating violently. At the breast Conway clambered up over the body of the mule and thrust his lighted lamp against the walled-up aperture. "He's gone through here!" he cried. "He's opened up the hole an' gone through."
He had had the good taste not to spoil the original house he had not touched it beyond what was just necessary for joining it on. It was very curious indeed a most irregular, rambling, mysterious pile, where they every now and then discovered a walled-up room or a secret staircase.
Do not hurt Arsinoe needlessly, do not let her feel the hand that guides her.
