Raising her lantern to the structure, she pointed her magnifying glass toward a section near the door.

You can see the brick dust from them on the ground, still unspoilt by the alleyway filth."I lowered my own lantern to examine the ground, and saw that she was right. "What type of instrument was used to make such delineations?" I asked. "A knife or sword?"
