After
a
lapse
of
four
minutes
the
glimmer
of
his
candle
was
discernible
through
the
semitransparent
semicircular
glass
fanlight
over
the
halldoor
.
The
halldoor
turned
gradually
on
its
hinges
.
In
the
open
space
of
the
doorway
the
man
reappeared
without
his
hat
,
with
his
candle
.
Did
Stephen
obey
his
sign
?
Yes
,
entering
softly
,
he
helped
to
close
and
chain
the
door
and
followed
softly
along
the
hallway
the
man
’
s
back
and
listed
feet
and
lighted
candle
past
a
lighted
crevice
of
doorway
on
the
left
and
carefully
down
a
turning
staircase
of
more
than
five
steps
into
the
kitchen
of
Bloom
’
s
house
.
