This time it said, “Beware of the secret room. Danger.” It was ali too absinaly, melo- dramatic, and yet it was happen- ing. One had to take the situation of being watched. I -aised eyes fearfully to the mirror, tak- ing in as much as possible of the room, after the manner of -the Lady .6f Shalott. Over there by the dressing- room door, was the wal] moving?
