Extract

He turned at the top of the staircase, and stopped. There in the great mirror he saw it--a shadow perched upon his shoulder, which seemed to whisper in his ear and caress his face with its long, delicate hands. As he stood paralyzed in horror, the thing turned its face to the mirror and smiled at him; and then it drew his own shadow around it like a cloak and disappeared.[1]
