Twofold cross.

[Johnyxxx]

Hello.

Can anybody explain to me what "a door paneled with a twofold cross" look like?


His door, when we came to it, was tightly closed. To my surprise there was no knob on it, in fact, nothing at all except a new round brass lock that shone yellow in the light of our candles. The door, I saw, was not like any of the others in the house. They were old Maine pine, paneled in a graceful twofold cross. This door was perfectly flat and when I touched it I perceived that it was not even made of wood, but of metal. The cold of steel came through the paint to my fingers.

Thanks a lot.

It describes the design of the panelling.

I suppose the panels have crosses, and I guess twofold means that each panel has two crosses.

I'm not too sure. I wouldn't worry about this if I were you.
