Jack Finney Quotes
Set Flush In The Wall Behind The Desk Was A Steel Door. It Was Knobless, And Along One Edge Were Three Brass Keyholes Spaced A Few Inches Apart. Rube Brought Out A Key Ring, Selected A Key, Then Walked Around The Desk, Inserted The Key In The Topmost Lock, And Turned It. From His Watch Pocket He Took A Single Key, Pushed It Into The Middle Keyhole, And Turned. The Guard Stood Waiting Beside Him, And Now The Guard Inserted A Key In The Bottom Keyhole, Turned It And Pulled The Door Open With The Key. Rube Removed His Two Keys And Gestured Me In Through The Open Door Before Him. He Followed, And The Door Swung Solidly Shut Behind Us. I Heard The Multiple Click Of The Locks Engaging, And We Were Standing In A Space Hardly Larger Than A Big Closet, Dimly Lighted By An Overhead Bulb In A Wire Cage. Then I Saw That We Were At The Top Of A Circular Metal Staircase.
