"But first let me tell of the rooms in which it was held. There were seven-an imperial
suite. That at the eastern extremity was hung, for example, in blue-and vividly
blue were its windows. The second chamber was purple in its ornaments and
tapestries, and here the panes were purple. The third was green throughout, and so
were the casements. The fourth was furnished and lighted with orange-the fifth
with white-the sixth with violet. The seventh apartment was closely shrouded in
black velvet tapestries that hung all over the ceiling and down the walls, falling in
heavy folds upon a carpet of the same material and hue. But in this chamber only,
the color of the windows failed to correspond with the decorations. The panes here
were scarlet-a deep blood color."
