When they reached the haunted house there was something so weird and grisly about the dead silence that reigned there under the baking sun, and something so depressing about the loneliness and desolation of the place, that they were afraid, for a moment, to venture in.
Quan arribaren a la casa on sortia por, hi havia quelcom de tan sobrenatural i ferest en el silenci de mort que regnava sota el sol estavellador, i quelcom de tan depriment en la solitud i desolació de l'indret, que tingueren temença, per un moment, d'arriscar-s'hi.
