A golden curtain similar to that which concealed me broke the somber expanse of the end wall to my right, and the door directly opposite my hiding-place was closed.
'A little before my lady's death, said she, 'when the pains were gone off, she called me to her, and stretching out her hand to me, I sat down just there where the curtain falls upon the bed. How well I remember her look at the time death was in it! I can almost fancy I see her now. There she lay, ma'amselle her face was upon the pillow there!
A curtain it was an old red-and-black carpet really was run across the tent. Robert was concealed behind, and Bill was standing on a trestle-table outside the tent making a speech. It was rather a good speech.

"I took the covering from the Spanish Chest in the long gallery," Halcyone announced. "I had played with it for years, and the color suits her it must be the same as are her real eyes."
