The Gold RoomIndex | Time Under Chaos | Settings | Castle Amber | The Gold Room At one point, they seemed to have stepped into a room of gold. The furniture was gilded with its warm hue, the tapestries showed rich golden patterns in the garments of the lords, ladies and fantastic mythical beasts depicted there. Even the rich carpets that lined the floors seemed to have been worked with golden threads. And there were people in the room, dressed in richer clothes than ever Tear had ever seen. But the footman was hurrying them out of the room before Tear could take in much more than a mere impression of bare white shoulders, towering headdresses and full silken skirts like the inverted petals of exotic flowers. Time enough, though, to be aware of sidelong looks, of a couple of sharp gasps and silken skirts whisked away. Then the room was left behind. |
