C. I think so, too, but it is not done yet: immediately I

heard the little door stir, as if it was opening, and away I
skipped as softly as I could tread, and got into my chair
again, and sat there as gravely as if I had never stirred out
of it. I was no sooner set, but the door opened indeed, and
the old gentleman came out as before, and turning to me,
said, 'Sit still, don't ye stir;' and at that word the other
two that were with him in the room walked out after him, one
after another, across the room, as if to go out at the other
door where I came in; but at the further end of the room they
stopped, and turned their faces to one another, and talked;
but it was some devil's language of their own, for I could
understand nothing of it.
