It seemed to her as though she beheld advancing from all quarters towards her, with the intention of crawling up her body and biting and pinching her, all those hideous implements of torture, which as compared to the instruments of all sorts she had hitherto seen, were like what bats, centipedes, and spiders are among insects and birds.
Il lui sembla voir se mouvoir et marcher de toutes parts vers elle, pour lui grimper le long du corps et la mordre et la pincer, tous ces difformes outils de la torture, qui étaient, parmi les instruments de tout genre qu’elle avait vus jusqu’alors, ce que sont les chauves-souris, les mille-pieds et les araignées parmi les insectes et les oiseaux.
