Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Castle of Ehrenstein, Vol. 1 of 3: Its Lords, Spiritual and Temporal; Its Inhabitants, Earthly and Unearthly
At the end of the corridor, on the left, he came to a larger staircase than that which he had before descended, and going cautiously down, and through some other passages, he found himself in a small vestibule, with two doors on either hand. They were of various dimensions, but all studded with large nails, and secured by thick bands of iron; and turning to the largest of the four, he quietly lifted the latch, and pushed it open. The wind, as he did so, had nearly blown out the lamp, and in suddenly shading it with his hand, he let slip the ponderous mass of wood work, which was blown back against its lintels with a dull clang, which echoed far away through the vaulted passages of the castle.
