We stood in front of the locked steel door seemed to unwelcome guests and waiting quietly. We were allowed by the old Negro come into the house. We walked through the garden and I saw nothing was alive there, no trees, no grasses and no flowers in garden. The garden was all deteriorated. I was the first one crossing the doorsill when suddenly I realized that it was full of darkness. Since I cannot see through darkness, this stimulated the sense of smell. I could smell what I have never experienced before. It is impossible to explain how was the smell but I was pretty sure that everyone mightfrownhis or herown face.When the Negro opened the blinds of one window, I could see the leather of furniture which was cracked and everything was just set with collecting dust. Right after I sat down, I got up from the gathered dust furniture, I could leave a trace accidentally. Arounded table and a long-legged chair seemed to be made by be an artisan and a frame of picture covered by gold might be looking gilt without dust. Their gorgeousness of them was totally hidden by out of people’s care.Everything seemed to be out of human’s hands. It made me feel that I just came here to excavate treasure. We sat on the cracked leather couch until Miss Emily appeared. I was waiting around 15 minutes but it was not boring that much because I was busy to appreciate that classical house. I found out a crayon portrait of Miss Emily’s father on a tarnished gilt easel before the fireplace stood.
I could see a receding hairline of him but it was still stately with tightly closed lips. He seemed to stare me but actually his sight was not clearlyon front. His curly hair, which was gently combed, covered his ears. I could not recognize a hollow thing on his face whether it is a dimple or not but it was definitely effective for favorable impression. He covered his skin with light colored of scarf. I could see his dainty habits from his appearance.
Eventually, Miss Emily entered – fat and small woman in darkness, with a thin gold chain to her waist and vanishing into her belt, leaning on an ebony cane with a tarnished gold head. Those accessories might not be separated with her since she started to lose interest to take care of her. This dark, gloomy and lifeless house corresponded to her state.
