pausing only to look both ways , like a demented windscreen wiper , and to pick up a few rose petals ( his mothers favourite flower ) he was off again , and blow the ramp , he took the steps two at a time , unfortunately there were an odd number of steps and he nearly came a cropper at the top , but there in front of him were two panes of glass , the one on the left enclosed in a door frame , complete with a half wrenched off handle , and now being held open by an untrained person , it must be for someone very important he though , so fearlessly he charged through the other one .
