The Adventure of the Engineer's Thumb
Capítulo 9, Página 16
"Then
suddenly,
in
the
silence,
I
heard
a
sound
that
made
my
heart
jump.
It
was
the
noise
of
the
levers
and
the
leaking
cylinder.
He
had
started
the
engine.
The
lamp
was
still
on
the
floor
where
I
had
put
it.
By
its
light,
I
saw
the
black
ceiling
coming
down
on
me.
It
moved
slowly
but
with
a
force
that
would
crush
me
in
a
minute.
I
screamed
and
threw
myself
at
the
door,
scratching
at
the
lock.
I
begged
the
colonel
to
let
me
out,
but
the
noise
of
the
levers
was
too
loud.
The
ceiling
was
close
above
my
head,
and
I
could
touch
its
rough
surface.
I
thought
about
how
I
would
die.
If
I
lay
on
my
face,
it
would
break
my
back.
I
shuddered
at
the
thought.
Maybe
it
was
better
to
lie
on
my
back
and
look
up.
I
could
not
stand
anymore
when
I
saw
something
that
gave
me
hope."
"I
said
before
that
the
floor
and
ceiling
were
iron,
but
the
walls
were
wood.
I
looked
around
quickly
and
saw
a
thin
line
of
yellow
light
between
two
boards.
It
got
wider
as
a
small
panel
opened.
I
could
hardly
believe
it
was
a
way
out.
But
I
jumped
through
and
lay
half-fainting
on
the
other
side.
The
panel
closed
behind
me,
and
I
heard
the
lamp
crash
and
then
the
clang
of
metal.
I
had
escaped
just
in
time."
"Someone
pulled
at
my
wrist,
and
I
found
myself
on
the
stone
floor
of
a
narrow
corridor.
A
woman
was
bending
over
me,
pulling
me
with
one
hand
and
holding
a
candle
in
the
other.
It
was
the
same
friend
who
had
warned
me
before."
"'Come!
Come!'
she
said
quickly.
'They
will
be
here
soon.
They
will
see
you
are
not
there.
Do
not
waste
time,
come!'"
"This
time,
I
listened
to
her.
I
got
to
my
feet
and
ran
with
her
along
the
corridor
and
down
some
stairs.
We
reached
a
broad
passage,
and
we
heard
running
feet
and
shouting.
One
voice
was
on
our
floor,
and
the
other
was
below.
My
guide
stopped,
looking
around
like
she
was
out
of
ideas.
Then
she
opened
a
door
to
a
bedroom,
where
the
moonlight
shone
through
the
window."
"'This
is
your
only
chance,'
she
said.
'It
is
high,
but
you
might
jump.'"
"As
she
spoke,
a
light
appeared
at
the
end
of
the
passage.
I
saw
Colonel
Lysander
Stark
coming
with
a
lantern
in
one
hand
and
a
weapon
in
the
other.
I
ran
across
the
room,
opened
the
window,
and
looked
out.
The
garden
looked
peaceful
in
the
moonlight,
and
it
was
not
more
than
thirty
feet
down.
I
climbed
onto
the
sill
but
waited
to
see
what
happened
between
my
savior
and
the
colonel.
If
she
needed
help,
I
would
go
back.
But
before
I
could
think
more,
he
was
at
the
door.
She
tried
to
hold
him
back."
"'Fritz!
Fritz!'
she
cried
in
English.
'Remember
your
promise
after
last
time.
You
said
it
would
not
happen
again.
He
will
be
silent!
Oh,
he
will
be
silent!'"
