It was near dark when the great gates appeared before them.

The great gates were closed tight, the walls high and thick.

Presently we came to the great main gates, twenty feet high.

With the coming of night the great gates to our fort were closed and barred.

All was silent as they waited for the great gates to swing open.

Then he passed to the great gates of the palace yard and looked through them.

By the time they got there the two great gates were fast shut.

How long would it take the police to get over the wall, or break down the great gates?

Between the two the great gates opened into a court and, beyond it was the entrance to the maze.

Three great gates which maintained control over the pass during that time still stand, although the only people who go through them now are tourists.
