Chapter 27
THE MONSTER
Rhodes made no response. Still he stood there, peering towards the end of the chamber. Then of a sudden, to my inexpressible surprise, he began moving forward—moving towards that monstrous thing which reared itself up out of the gloom and the shadows, up and up, almost to the very roof itself.
"What are you doing?" I cried. "I tell you, I saw it move!"
Rhodes paused, but he did not look back.
"It didn't move," he said. "How could it move? It must have been only the shadows that you saw, Bill."
"Shadows?"
"Just so—shadows."
