Excerpt from Two Shall Be Born Of interior decorations and furnishings nothing remained save some very lovely Old mantels and carved door and window casings. The walls were bare of hangings, the black oak oors of carpets, the windows of curtains, the table of Silver. In one or two stripped rooms a few distressingly dingy and for bidding portraits still glowered forlornly, and among these a lady's cheek had been laid Open by a sword Slash, a cardinal's nose had been cut Off at the tip, -as though to caution cardinals from meddling in secular affairs - and a count 's eyes had been as neatly thrust out by a lance as though the original had fallen alive into the hands of Cossacks. Those empty eye holes followed the visitor with a sort of persistent dis trust.
