A
drawer
of
a
bureau
pushed
in
?
No
,
not
that
.
Then
my
eye
was
caught
by
what
,
I
believe
,
is
called
a
silver
table
,
the
lid
of
which
lifts
,
and
through
the
glass
of
which
you
can
see
the
contents
.
I
crossed
over
to
it
,
studying
the
contents
.
There
were
one
or
two
pieces
of
old
silver
,
a
baby
shoe
belonging
to
King
Charles
the
First
,
some
Chinese
jade
figures
,
and
quite
a
number
of
African
implements
and
curios
.
Wanting
to
examine
one
of
the
jade
figures
more
closely
,
I
lifted
the
lid
.
It
slipped
through
my
fingers
and
fell
.
At
once
I
recognized
the
sound
I
had
heard
.
It
was
this
same
table
lid
being
shut
down
gently
and
carefully
.
I
repeated
the
action
once
or
twice
for
my
own
satisfaction
.
Then
I
lifted
the
lid
to
scrutinize
the
contents
more
closely
.
I
was
still
bending
over
the
open
silver
table
when
Flora
Ackroyd
came
into
the
room
.
Quite
a
lot
of
people
do
not
like
Flora
Ackroyd
,
but
nobody
can
help
admiring
her
.
And
to
her
friends
she
can
be
very
charming
.
The
first
thing
that
strikes
you
about
her
is
her
extraordinary
fairness
.
She
has
the
real
Scandinavian
pale
gold
hair
.
Her
eyes
are
blue
–
blue
as
the
waters
of
a
Norwegian
fiord
,
and
her
skin
is
cream
and
roses
.
She
has
square
,
boyish
shoulders
and
slight
hips
.
And
to
a
jaded
medical
man
it
is
very
refreshing
to
come
across
such
perfect
health
.
A
simple
straightforward
English
girl
–
I
may
be
oldfashioned
,
but
I
think
the
genuine
article
takes
a
lot
of
beating
.
Flora
joined
me
by
the
silver
table
,
and
expressed
heretical
doubts
as
to
King
Charles
I
ever
having
worn
the
baby
shoe
.
"
And
anyway
,
"
continued
Miss
Flora
,
"
all
this
making
a
fuss
about
things
because
someone
wore
or
used
them
seems
to
me
all
nonsense
.
They
’
re
not
wearing
or
using
them
now
.
