yielding to an impulse to seek further light from him whom i now recognized as my master and guide, i had unconsciously turned about, and almost before i was aware of having done so found myself again at moxon's door. i was 1 with rain, but felt no 2. unable in my excitement to find the doorbell i 3 tried the knob. it turned and, entering, i mounted the stairs to the room that i had so recently left. all was dark and silent; moxon, as i had supposed, was in the adjoining room -- the 'machine-shop.' groping along the wall until found the communicating door i knocked loudly several times, but got no response, which i attributed to the 4（骚动，喧嚣） outside, for the wind was blowing a 5 and dashing the rain against the thin walls in sheets. the drumming upon the 6 roof spanning the unceiled room was loud and 7. i had never been invited into the machine-shop-had, indeed, been denied admittance, as had all others, with one exception, a skilled metal worker, of whom no one knew anything except that his name was haley and his habit silence. but in my spiritual exaltation（欣喜） , 8 and civility were alike forgotten, and i opened the door. what i saw took all 9 10 out of me in short order.
moxon sat facing me at the farther side of a small table upon which a single candle made all the light that was in the room. opposite him, his back toward me, sat another person. on the table between the two was a chess-board; the men were playing. i knew little of chess, but as only a few pieces were on the board it was obvious that the game was near its close. moxon was intensely interested -- not so much, it seemed to me, in the game as in his 11, upon whom he had 12 so intent a look that, 13 though i did directly in the line of his vision, i was altogether unobserved. his face was ghastly（惨白地） white, and his eyes glittered like diamonds. of his antagonist i had only a back view, but that was sufficient; i should not have cared to see his face.
he was 14 not more than five feet in height, with proportions suggesting those of a 15 -- a tremendous breadth of shoulders, thick, short neck and broad, 16 head, which had a 17 growth of black hair and was topped with a 18 fez（土耳其毡帽） . a 19 of the same colour, belted tightly to the waist, reached the seat -- apparently a box -- upon which he sat; his legs and feet were not seen. his left forearm appeared to rest in his lap; he moved his pieces with his right hand, which seemed disproportionately long.
