It was well for the speaker's peace that she lacked the gift of double sight. Like a prisoner in moral custody, Kathleen walked to the music room between the twins. A long passage cut the music room off from the rest of the house, there were two heavy doors between. The passage was traversed in stony silence. Kathleen was looking as demure as her guardians.
The second door closed. A subdued gloom of candles faintly illuminated the dark old room. In the uncertain light Kathleen was not quire sure of her eyes. But surely the dolls were showing signs of animation. They were smiling. Really, they were not bad-looking girls at all, despite their ridiculous attire.
