A narrow shelf ran all the way round the dado; this shelf was entirely filled with the most charming collection of English and French china, little cottages, birds and figures. Above the shelf was a picture-rail, which again was filled all the way round with signed photographs of friends.
The effect was slightly irregular, but for that very reason all the more charming. The walls of the room were painted light blue; there was a looking-glass over the mantel-piece set in a frame of the palest, most delicate blue. A picture-rail ran round the room about six feet from the ground, and the high frieze above had a scroll of wild roses painted on it in bold, free relief.
You see that it is in one piece so that anybody having occasion to enter the recess would have to lift it aside and let it fall to behind him." I studied the arrangement of the drapings more closely and saw that his statement was correct; also I saw something else, and: "This room has been lighted by gas at some time!" I cried. "Here, up under the picture-rail, is a plug."
