My conductor pushed this open, and we crept in.

The interior of the tower seemed spacious enough.

A wooden staircase led us farther upwards to two tiny rooms, situated about the centre of the tower.
One of these apartments, dimly lighted by the rays of a lamp, contained a small altar, and served as a chapel, while the second was used as a sleeping-room for female pilgrims.

A wooden divan was the only piece of furniture this room contained.

My conductor now took his leave, promising to return in a short time with some provisions, a bolster, and a coverlet for me.
So now I was at least sheltered for the night, and guarded like a captive princess by bolt and bar.
