'The room, with its four white walls, from which the three pink chairs stood out like strawberries from whipped cream, Jay in the unstable light of the candle. But the wardrobe over there was open and it was not empty. Somebody was standing in it, a creature so lovely that Albrecht van der Qualen 's heart stood still a moment and then in long, deep, quiet throbs resumed its beating.' Producer
