* * * as requested , ten minutes prior to needing it , i pulled the pale blue velvet , tasseled cord in the dressing room ( a very pretty room , a lot smaller than the bedroom , painted a soft yellow accented in pale blues , creams and lavenders with a beautifully painted screen , a chaise lounge covered in lavender velvet and a dressing table topped with a bunch of fancy bottles and other fairytale land beautification detritus ) .
