Der Sohn des Wirtes sagte, daß sie stets geschlossen gehalten werde und daß er nie jemand habe hineingehen oder herauskommen sehen -- ausgenommen zur Nachtzeit; Näheres wußte er nicht, er selbst schon habe den Gedanken gehabt, es spuke in dem Zimmer und schließlich wußte er nichts von einem Licht darin in der letzten Nacht.
The tavern-keeper's young son said it was kept locked all the time, and he never saw anybody go into it or come out of it except at night; he did not know any particular reason for this state of things; had had some little curiosity, but it was rather feeble; had made the most of the mystery by entertaining himself with the idea that that room was "ha'nted"; had noticed that there was a light in there the night before.
