hubiese cernido

Se percató, ya sin maravillarse, de que una repentina y furtiva oscuridad sin luna ni estrellas se hubiese cernido sobre el castillo, como si para hacerlo hubiera estado aguardando a que Gerard penetrase en la morada.
He saw with no great surprise that a sudden and furtive darkness had closed in upon the chateau without moon or star, as if it had been merely waiting for him to enter before it descended.
