Question

I stopped: the sound ceased, only for an instant; it began again, louder: for at first, though distinct, it was very low. It passed off in a clamorous peal that seemed to wake an echo in every lonely chamber; though it originated but in one, and I could have pointed out the door whence the accents issued.

Accepted Answer

Me detuve. El sonido se repitió, primero apagado, luego convertido en una estrepitosa carcajada que despertó todos los ecos de las solitarias estancias.
