Through the narrow opening, a creaking of the broad wooden stairs of the old house became audible. In another moment there was silence. An interval passed, and the creaking was heard again. This time, the sound was distant and diminishing. On a sudden it stopped. The midnight silence was disturbed no more.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
