lord. I am master here. This is my house. I will twist off the bolts, I  
will break the locks, I will kick down the doors, I will run my sword  
through the body of any one who bars my passage. I should like to see  
who shall stop me. I have a wife, and she is Dea. I have a father, who  
is Ursus. My house is a palace, and I give it to Ursus. My name is a  
diadem, and I give it to Dea. Quick, directly, Dea, I am coming; yes,  
you may be sure that I shall soon stride across the intervening space!"

chamber impetuously.  
He found himself in a corridor.  
He went straight forward.  
A second corridor opened out before him.  
All the doors were open.  
He walked on at random, from chamber to chamber, from passage to  
passage, seeking an exit.
