She was told to leave the room, but then got confused where to go. While standing there trying to figure out which hallway she should choose, she saw the landlord do something that demonstrated the landlord's superstitious beliefs.

Note my corrections to your post above, marked in red.

Always start a sentence with a capital letter. Always capitalise the word "I". Apostrophes are important. Separate sentences with a full stop, not a comma. Do not leave a space before a question mark.

hendrick, please note that a better title would have been I obeyed, so far as to quit the chamber.

You'll always be weak in English if you deliberately mangle it wherever possible. Why not try to post this again in proper English?

That looks much better!

"I obeyed, so far as to quit the chamber; when, ignorant where the narrow lobbies led, I stood still, and was witness, involuntarily, to a piece of superstition on the part of my landlord which belied, oddly, his apparent sense. "

I obeyed by quitting the chamber. Then I stood still because I was ignorant of where the narrow lobbies led. I was involuntarily witness to my landlord's superstition. His superstition oddly belied his apparent sense.

Which bit are you having trouble with?
