¨I had to shut the door to the passage. They've taken over the back part. She let her knitting fall and looked at me with her tired,serious eyes. You're sure? I nodded. In that case, she said, picking up her needles again, we´ll have to live on this side ¨ (Cortazar 40) .

The sound came through muted and indistinct, a chair being knocked over onto the carpet or the muffled buzzing of a conversation. At the same time or a second later, I heard it at the end of the passage which led from those two rooms toward the door. I hurled myself against the door before it was too late and shut it, leaned on it with the weight of my body; luckily, the key was on our side; moreover, I ran the great bolt into place, just to be safe" (Cortazar 39-40).

¨how not to remember the layout of that house. The dining room, a living room with tapestries, the library and three large bedrooms in the section most recessed, the one that faced toward Rodriguez Pena. only a corridor with its massive oak door separated that part from the front wing, where there was a bath, the kitchen, our bedrooms and the hall.¨

“I was in my room reading when I heard something in the library or the dining room. The sound came through muted and indistinct, like a chair being knocked over on the carpet or the muffled buzzing of a conversation. I stopped reading and listened. Then I heard Irene’s knitting needles fall on the floor. ‘Did you hear it?’ she asked. I nodded. ‘They’ve taken over the back part,’ she said" (Cortazar 39).

"We stood listening to the noises, growing more and more sure that they were on our side of the oak door, if not the kitchen then the bath, or in the hall itself at the turn, almost next to us. We didn't wait to look at one another. I took Irene's arms and forced her to run with me to the wrought-iron door, not waiting to look back. You could hear the noises, still muffled but louder, just behind us. I slammed the grating and we stopped in the vestibule. Now there was nothing to be heard"(Cortazar 41)

We liked the house because, apart from its being old and spacious (in a day when old houses go down for a profitable auction of their construction materials), it kept the memories of great-grandparents, our paternal grandfather, our parents and the whole of our childhood…Irene and I got used to staying in the house by ourselves, which was crazy, eight people could have lived in that space and not gotten in each other’s way.

At the same time or a second later, I heard it at the end of the passage which led from those two rooms toward the door. I hurled myself against the door before it was too late and shut it." (Cortazar 39-40) This quote describes Fantastic Events because it is engaging and eventful. It also has an odd unexplained factor to it making it confusing and almost questionable.
