By Elizabeth Headley
"At first I could see nothing,
the hot air escaping from the chamber causing the
candle to flicker, but presently, as my eyes grew
accustomed to the light, details of the room
within emerged slowly from the mist, strange animals, statues, and
gold-everywhere the glint of gold. For the moment...
I was struck dumb with amazement, and when Lord Carnaron,
unable to stand the suspense any longer,
inquired anziously, 'Can you see anything?' it was all I could do
to get out the words,
'Yes, wonderful things.'"
