From one tower the bucket would speed, only to stop silently and, almost before its crossways movement had ended, it would drop to the surface of the work.

The rain did not stop, and when it grew dark he could not travel because of the darkness and the storm, so he lay down to sleep again; but before he had fallen asleep he heard something at the mouth of the cave, and then something creeping toward him.
