Chapter # Sentence # Quote

23 45 As I did so I seemed almost to hear a silent, horrible, pleading shriek but there was of course no sound.
23 46 I returned and held the torch and her body was the same as before, the eyes fixed with the same expression of frozen horror, so I left the chamber.
23 47 I continued to search the stony passages of the tunnels of the Golden beetle but I saw no sign of the creature.
23 48 I held my sword in my right hand and the Mul-Torch in my left.
23 49 When I made a turn I would take the hilt of the sword, in order to protect the blade, and scratch a small sign indicating the direction from which I had come.
23 50 It was a long, eerie search, in the blue light of the Mul-Torch, thrusting it into one crevice and another, trying one passage and then the next.
