She became more sociable, and I was beginning to be very happy; but, on coming within sight of the grim old hall, she stood still, and turned towards me while she spoke, as if expecting I should go no further, that the conversation would end here, and I should now take leave and depart - as, indeed, it was time to do, for 'the clear, cold eve' was fast 'declining,' the sun had set, and the
gibbous moon was visibly brightening in the pale grey sky; but a feeling almost of compassion riveted me to the spot.
NASA explained: "Using precise timing, the Earth-orbiting space platform was photographed in front of a partially lit
