In a strange house, "anything" might happen. In all the fairy tales
Hortense read, the houses were deliriously strange . . . and now
she was going to stay in one, with her grandparents!
It stood at the foot of a steep mountain -- three stories high,
with high, shuttered windows. Inside, the old-fashioned furniture
along the walls seemed to smile at her. A spidery staircase with
dark wood banisters rose steeply from one side and wound away out
of sight.
Later, a great tortoise-shell cat sauntered in while her
grandparents were talking -- about ghosts! "That cat . . . he
understands every word," Hortense said to herself with
conviction.
She began to be a little afraid of the cat . . . for everything
in the room disliked him, she sensed. The lowboy no longer smiled
but looked rather solemn and foolish. The chairs stood stiffly, as
though offended at his presence. The white owl on the shelf glared
fiercely with his yellow eyes, and the firedogs in the hearth
fairly snapped their teeth!
