+=head2 v5.13.5 - Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, "The Room in the Dragon Volant"

+Candle in hand I stepped in. I do not know whether the quality of
+air, long undisturbed, is peculiar; to me it has always seemed so, and
+the damp smell of the old masonry hung in this atmosphere. My candle
+faintly lighted the bare stone wall that enclosed the stair, the foot
+of which I could not see. Down I went, and a few turns brought me to
+the stone floor. Here was another door, of the simple, old, oak kind,
+deep sunk in the thickness of the wall. The large end of the key
+fitted this. The lock was stiff; I set the candle down upon the
+stair, and applied both hands; it turned with difficulty, and as it
+revolved, uttered a shriek that alarmed me for my secret.
+
+For some minutes I did not move. In a little time, however, I took
+courage, and opened the door. The night-air floating in puffed out
+the candle. There was a thicket of holly and underwood, as dense as a
+jungle, close about the door. I should have been in pitch-darkness,
+were it not that through the topmost leaves there twinkled, here and
+there, a glimmer of moonshine.
+
+Softly, lest any one should have opened his window at the sound of the
+rusty bolt, I struggled through this till I gained a view of the open
+grounds. Here I found that the brushwood spread a good way up the
+park, uniting with the wood that approached the little temple I have
+described.
