Reuben, a dark-brow'd and black-bearded Israelite, obeyed her summons, with a torch in his hand; undid the outward door of the house, and conducting Gurth across a paved court, let him out through a wicket in the entrance-gate, which he closed behind him with such bolts and chains as would well have become that of a prison.
Fáklyával a kezében kinyitotta a ház kapuját, keresztülvezette Gurth-öt a kikövezett udvaron, azután kien­gedte a kerítés ajtaján. Távozása után újra eltorlaszolta a kaput olyan láncokkal és reteszekkel, hogy egy börtönkapunak is megfelelt volna.
