1 We left in pretty good time, and came after nightfall to Klausenburgh.
2 The time I waited seemed endless, and I felt doubts and fears crowding upon me.
3 The passenger turned his face away, at the same time putting out his two fingers and crossing himself.
4 I feared to go very far from the station, as we had arrived late and would start as near the correct time as possible.
5 This time, after going to the far side of the Pass, he suddenly turned down a narrow roadway which ran sharply to the right.
6 This state of excitement kept on for some little time; and at last we saw before us the Pass opening out on the eastern side.
