Grammar
Which is impliedㅡare or being
The protagonist is in a weird hospital with amnesia, trying to escape from it.
So I left the room and considered the hallway. Off to the left, it ended against a wall with a latticed window, and there were four more doors, two on either side. Probably they let upon more doorslike my own. I went and looked out the window and saw more grounds, more trees, more night, nothing new. Turning, I headed in the other direction.
Doors, doors, doors, no lights from under any of them, the only sounds my footsteps from the too big borrowed shoes.
<Nine Princes in Amber" of The Great Book of Amber by Roger Zelazny>
I'd like to know whether "being" is implied before "my footsteps" or "is."
Thank you in advance for your help.
