He
was
a
skilful
man
,
of
sixty
and
upwards
,
he
wore
powder
,
and
shaved
his
pale
face
as
smooth
as
a
pumpkin
.
He
and
papa
emerged
from
the
room
together
,
and
I
heard
papa
laugh
,
and
say
as
they
came
out
:
"
Well
,
I
do
wonder
at
a
wise
man
like
you
.
What
do
you
say
to
hippogriffs
and
dragons
?
"
The
doctor
was
smiling
,
and
made
answer
,
shaking
his
head
--
"
Nevertheless
life
and
death
are
mysterious
states
,
and
we
know
little
of
the
resources
of
either
.
"
And
so
the
walked
on
,
and
I
heard
no
more
.
I
did
not
then
know
what
the
doctor
had
been
broaching
,
but
I
think
I
guess
it
now
.
This
evening
there
arrived
from
Gratz
the
grave
,
dark-faced
son
of
the
picture
cleaner
,
with
a
horse
and
cart
laden
with
two
large
packing
cases
,
having
many
pictures
in
each
.
It
was
a
journey
of
ten
leagues
,
and
whenever
a
messenger
arrived
at
the
schloss
from
our
little
capital
of
Gratz
,
we
used
to
crowd
about
him
in
the
hall
,
to
hear
the
news
.
This
arrival
created
in
our
secluded
quarters
quite
a
sensation
.
The
cases
remained
in
the
hall
,
and
the
messenger
was
taken
charge
of
by
the
servants
till
he
had
eaten
his
supper
.
Then
with
assistants
,
and
armed
with
hammer
,
ripping
chisel
,
and
turnscrew
,
he
met
us
in
the
hall
,
where
we
had
assembled
to
witness
the
unpacking
of
the
cases
.
Carmilla
sat
looking
listlessly
on
,
while
one
after
the
other
the
old
pictures
,
nearly
all
portraits
,
which
had
undergone
the
process
of
renovation
,
were
brought
to
light
.
My
mother
was
of
an
old
Hungarian
family
,
and
most
of
these
pictures
,
which
were
about
to
be
restored
to
their
places
,
had
come
to
us
through
her
.
My
father
had
a
list
in
his
hand
,
from
which
he
read
,
as
the
artist
rummaged
out
the
corresponding
numbers
.
I
do
n't
know
that
the
pictures
were
very
good
,
but
they
were
,
undoubtedly
,
very
old
,
and
some
of
them
very
curious
also
.
They
had
,
for
the
most
part
,
the
merit
of
being
now
seen
by
me
,
I
may
say
,
for
the
first
time
;
for
the
smoke
and
dust
of
time
had
all
but
obliterated
them
.
"
There
is
a
picture
that
I
have
not
seen
yet
,
"
said
my
father
.
