Ich versuchte zwei Schlüssel, so leise ich konnte, aber die schienen solch 'nen mächtigen Spektakel zu machen, daß ich ganz atemlos vor Schreck war.
I tried two of the keys, just as soft as I could; but they seemed to make such a power of racket that I couldn't hardly get my breath I was so scared. They wouldn't turn in the lock, either.
