The dark and low arch, which seemed, like the entrance to Dante's Hell, to forbid hope of regress—the muttered sounds of the warders, and petty formalities observed in opening and shutting the grated wicket—the cold and constrained⁵ salutation of the Lieutenant⁶ of the fortress⁷, who showed his prisoner that distant and measured respect which authority pays as a tax to decorum, all struck upon Nigel's heart, impressing on him the cruel consciousness of captivity⁸.

 

“I am a prisoner,” he said, the words escaping from him almost unawares; “I am a prisoner, and in the Tower!”

 

The Lieutenant bowed—“And it is my duty,” he said, “to show your lordship your chamber⁹, where, I am compelled to say, my orders are to place you under some restraint. I will make it as easy as my duty permits.”

 

Nigel only bowed in return to this compliment, and followed the Lieutenant to the ancient buildings on the western side of the parade, and adjoining to the chapel
