Oh! Baas, what is the use of wasting thought upon the ways of spooks which, like the wind, come and go as they will, especially in this haunted land from which, as we have all agreed, we should do well to get away." I went and examined the door for myself, for by now my sciatica, or whatever it may have been, was so much better that I could walk a little.

What Hans said was true.

There was the spider's web with the spider sitting in the middle.

Also some of the threads of the web were fixed from post to post, so that it was impossible that the door could have been opened or, if opened, that anyone could have passed through the doorway without breaking them.
