They said, “Is the door open?”
He said, “No, the door is locked.”
They said, “Go and put your hand on the sill of the door and see if the key is there.”
He said, “It is there.”
They said, “Open the door and go in.”
He opened the door, but inside all was darkness with a smell of carib leaf which choked his throat and made his head stupid.
They said to him, “What do you see?”
He said, “Nothing but a brazier burning carib leaf, which throws out a thick smoke which chokes me.”
They said, “No; but to right and left of the brazier what do you see?”
He said, “Two pillars and a person bound to each pillar.”
