"Let them all be taken away and changed, then, with the exception of the sleeping-chamber which is hung with red damask; you will leave that exactly as it is." Bertuccio bowed. "You will not touch the garden either; as to the yard, you may do what you please with it; I should prefer that being altered beyond all recognition."
"No; I'll trust you," said I; and he opened the door. It led into a broad passage, paved with slate, upon which three or four rooms opened.
