Evidence:
‘Englebelmer, indeed, was now entering upon a dark period.[...]. Still we explored the church into which opened a mysterious tunnel; as if on holiday we examined the brightly painted saints and the other sacred objects from gallery to vault; and hard by found a large collection of the Englebelmer parish magazine, which was and was not interesting. Religious readings were interrupted by a move to Beaussart.'
