what the machine gave in quick succession was , i remember , the speckled pattern of the carpet renovated by the return to the pre-hanna years , the fold of a curtain , a dragons head on a chinese vase , a big oval mirror pivoted to a wooden stand , ceiling-cornices , the fluted leg of a chair ( i must stop ) an electrical outlet , certain keys of a piano i mustnt enumerate , the cross of window-panes , a dish of fruit on the table : three mottled bananas , four apples , two oranges , a bunch of grapes , how many grapes ?
