It was, as before said, a small picture, only two or three inches high
and very narrow, but exceedingly clear.
A young girl stood before the well-known cupboard in old Frick's museum.
Her position was exactly as Mr. Howell had described it.
The one hand held the lid open, the other held an article which was
hidden by the shoulder; the head and neck were bent somewhat forward,
examining the object.
It was a tall, fine figure in a light walking costume, trimmed with dark
braid.
There was not much to be seen of the room. One saw part of the cupboard
on both sides, a chair, the arm of another chair, but nothing else.
Over the cupboard, at about the same height as the young girl, was a
shelf. Part of this shelf, on which could be seen several small curios,
was included in the picture.
One glance was enough for me to be certain who the young girl was.
