— oh, so gently! And then, when I had made an opening sufficient for my
head, I put in a dark lantern, all closed, closed, so that no light shone out,
and then I thrust in my head. Oh, you would have laughed to see how
cunningly I thrust it in! I moved it slowly — very, very slowly, so that I might
not disturb the old man's sleep. It took me an hour to place my whole head
within the opening so far that I could see him as he lay upon his bed.”
