With Roland still in front, they went up several steps, and found themselves in the choir of the chapel, where the scene we have related between Morgan and the Company of Jehu took place.

Only now the stalls were empty, the choir was deserted, and the altar, degraded by the abandonment of worship, was no longer covered by the burning tapers or the sacred cloth.
It was evident to Roland that this was the goal of the false ghost, which Sir John persisted in believing a real one.

But, real or false, Sir John admitted that its flight had brought it to this particular spot.

He reflected a moment and then remarked: "As it is my turn to watch tonight, I have the right to choose my ground; I shall watch here." And he pointed to a sort of table formed in the centre of the choir by an oaken pedestal which had formerly supported the eagle lectern.
"Indeed," said Roland, with the same heedlessness he showed in his own affairs, "you'll do very well there, only as you may find the gates locked and the stone fastened tonight, we had better look for some more direct way to get here." In less than five minutes they had found an outlet.

The door of the old sacristy opened into the choir, and from the sacristy a broken window gave passage into the forest.
