"Ketika dia setidaknya sampai di pintu, pegangannya sudah tidak bergetar lagi. Tiba-tiba menurunkan diri ke lututnya, dia meletakkan kepala dan keanehan mata kirinya (yang selama ini mencoba untuk berlari ke atas dan ke bawah permukaan vertikal pintu), dia dapat dengan konsentrasi untuk mengamati, dalam jarak tiga inci dari mata kuncinya, mata yang bukan miliknya, tidak hanya warnanya berbeda dengan marmer besinya sendiri, tetapi juga, yang lebih meyakinkan, di sisi lain pintu."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Lowering himself suddenly to his knees he placed his head and the vagaries of his left eye (which was for ever trying to dash up and down the vertical surface of the door), he was able by dint of concentration to observe, within three inches of his keyholed eye, an eye which was not his, being not only of a different colour to his own iron marble, but being, which is more convincing, on the other side of the door.
