He smiled, saying, «Seek her throughout the world.» I said, «Why tell me of the world? My world is here, between these walls and the sheet of glass above; here among gilded flagons and dull jewelled arms, tarnished frames and canvasses, black chests and high-backed chairs, quaintly carved and stained in blue and gold.» «For whom do you wait?» he said, and I answered, «When she comes I shall know her.» On my hearth a tongue of flame whispered secrets to the whitening ashes. In the street below I heard footsteps, a voice, and a song. Robert W. Cambers is an incredible storyteller. His gothic stories are sometimes dark, sometimes charming, all beautifully written. "The King in Yellow" was first published in 1895.
