Shining Palace Echoes of Nora and James’s Fin de Siècle Room
An elderly father wanders through Nora and Carl Venable’s lavish drawing room. He notes a blend of poverty and riches, with Japanese lacquer furniture, a prized painting, and boxes stacking books that give the room atmosphere. He recalls Nora’s family, a pew-divan, a ship picture, and a childlike doll tea set, while pondering their past.
