Updated: June 20, 2025

I pray you, ladies, do not allow yourselves to be startled by the waving of the tapestry-which is only due to the strong draughts about the room on a stormy night like this the moaning of the wind in the chimney, or the wild scurrying and squeaking of the mice behind the wainscot.

Théophile Gautier - Captain Fracasse
