32 And so it happened that at the end of a dull, dark and soundless day in the middle of October, I found myself, as the shades of evening drew on, within view of the grim and melancholy House of Usher.
33 And so, as I held his letter in my hand, not yet opening it, I reflected with no little sadness upon the devious fates that chart our courses and drive old friends away from one another.
34 And so, in all humility, and for the sake of years gone by, I beseech you to come to me at once, here to the family estate in the north.
35 And so, with grim finality, we secured the open lid, took up our flickering candles and departed from the crypt, leaving it alone with its darkness and death.
36 And stood at last with our ghastly burden in a subterranean, dank and musty crypt - underneath the House of Usher.
37 And that illness began, in my mind, to assume a most mysterious character.
38 And that last dread sound... yes, I heard it! the opening of the metal door to the crypt beneath the house.
