This part of the adventure was the only one which eemed rather like a dream at the time and rather hard to emember properly afterwards. Especially, one couldn‘t ay how long it had taken. Sometimes it seemed to have sted only a few minutes, but at others it felt as if it might ave gone on for years. Obviously, unless either the Door ad grown very much larger or the creatures had suddenly rown as small as gnats, a crowd like that couldn’t ever have ied to get through it. But no one thought about that sort f thing at the time.
