We arrive finally at the Porte de Louvain. Shadows come and go, talk together, and separate. Then everything is swallowed up, disappears into a dark, narrow passage, that leads underground ALBA. And then? DOLORES. It all passes from my sight, and then I want to go down there, too, but I hear a voice from below: "Who goes there?", I am fearfully fright- [114] PATRIE ened, and I go back. Then the moon comes out no one! All this confusion, the cry of the sentinels in the distance, the clocks strik...ing the hour! I look about me, I turn round, for I want to know, I want to see! It is a matter of life and death! In the midst of the rubbish I see a deep trench that sheds the rain-water off into the ditches. I put one foot into it cold as ice! Then I go down. It is a vault! Yes, I will chance it! I go straight on, and see a bluish light; I hear confused sounds. At last I come to an iron grate. I draw a free breath, for I can see; finally, I can hear! ALBA. And then what ? DOLORES. In this pit ten men are collected, un- der shelter of the counterscarp.
