He said he would turn back with us an' interview—that's the word he used, whatever it means—interview our fathers. The boys approached the building slowly and as they neared its sombre portals silence fell upon them. They opened the creaking gate and entered the building much after the manner of heroes who must stand blindfolded against a wall and wait the word "Fire!"
