But L was too late. A cold wind ran through the castle and , with a crash , the door at the top of the stairs closed and locked itself. L could not get back down the stairs. Soon L saw from the window the [35]  carts full of [36]  and the [37]  drove away. L was alone in the castle with those terrible [38]  [39]  . While L was writing these words in my [40]  L decided what to do. L must try to escape , to get down the wall outside.

L's [49]  ship from [50]  on the Black Sea , [51]  's servant told us. There are [52]  on it , and they ' re full of earth. And a big black dog jumped off the ship and ran up the hill ! And was everyone on the ship alive? L asked the strange thing , the servant replied. There was no one on the ship , either dead nor alive.

L knew that L must do [55]  before it was too late. [56]  can only come out at night , so L knew that there was no danger during the day. The next morning L decided to visit [57]  ? room to see what L could Find. To do this L had to get into it by the window. This was possible because his room was just below my bedroom , and there were little holes in the wall between the stones. L could put my feet in these. L could use the [58]  curtains from my window to hold onto. L was dangerous , but L had to try. Slowly L moved down the wall. Once or twice L almost fell , but at last L found myself in [59]  ? bedroom. The room was empty. The Army was not there. L looked for the castle keys , but L could not Find them.
