I now found Myself in a Vault tolerably spacious.

Several Tombs, similar in appearance to that whence I had just escaped, were ranged along the sides in order, and seemed to be considerably sunk within the earth.

A sepulchral Lamp was suspended from the roof by an iron chain, and shed a gloomy light through the dungeon.

Emblems of Death were seen on every side: Skulls, shoulder-blades, thigh-bones, and other leavings of Mortality were scattered upon the dewy ground.

Each Tomb was ornamented with a large Crucifix, and in one corner stood a wooden Statue of St.Clare.
