A bed supported on massive pillars of mahogany, hung with curtains of deep red damask, stood out like a tabernacle in the centre; the two large windows, with their blinds always drawn down, were half shrouded in festoons and falls of similar drapery; the carpet was red; the table at the foot of the bed was covered with a crimson cloth; the walls were a soft fawn colour with a blush of pink in it; the wardrobe, the toilet-table, the chairs were of darkly polished old mahogany.
Había en él un lecho de caoba, de macizas columnas con cortinas de damasco rojo, situado en el centro de la habitación, como un tabernáculo. La habitación tenía dos ventanas grandes con las cortinas perpetuamente corridas.
