The Da Vinci Code Chapter 98-99

CHAPTER 98Langdon and Sophie moved slowly down the north aisle, keeping to the shadows behind the ample pillars that separated it from the open nave. Despite having traveled more than halfway down the nave, they still had no clear view of Newton's tomb. The sarcophagus was recessed in a niche, obscured from this oblique angle.“At least there's nobody over there,” Sophie whispered.Langdon nodded, relieved. The entire section of the nave near Newton's tomb was deserted. “I'll go over,” he whispered. “You should stay hidden just in case someone – “Sophie had already stepped from the shadows and was headed across the open floor. ” – is watching,” Langdon sighed, hurrying to join her. Crossing the massive nave on a diagonal, Langdon and Sophie remained silent as the elaborate sepulchre revealed itself in tantalizing increments… a black-marble sarcophagus… a reclining statue of Newton… two winged boys… a huge pyramid… and… an enormous orb.“Did you know about that?” Sophie said, sounding startled. Langdon shook his head, also surprised.
