Artificial grottoes, small falls among greens. Palm trees, cactuses
vsevozmozhneyshy types. The most valuable collection of orchids collected by her grandfather in
that time when orchids became fashionable in England and for rare copies
paid gold heaps. Some fancy copies of these exotic
flowers had the history. To receive them, courageous hunters
behind orchids went to the wild woods of the Central Africa and Southern
America, battled against savages, animals, died of fever, stings
dragon. Some of them were burned on fires, eaten by cannibals,
died of the poisoned arrows. When this watered with blood extraordinary,
as if brought from other planet, plants appeared in the capital
Great Britain, on them new hunting – hunting capital began
the aristocrats-snobs trying to catch any price in the
collection the most original and beautiful flowers. Her grandfather then bought up
the best copies, came to admire its collection from different
countries. How many works and money were cost by this winter garden!
Behind a garden the art gallery began. Entrances and exits protect
terrible knights from whom there was only a brilliant cover. They not
will lift heavy swords in protection of the lock, will not cross copies for
honor of ladies of the heart…
Hall of easel painting. Reysdal, Rosetti, Flemings, Dutches,
Spaniards, Italians. Whether not to take what from this room? Some
peace Dutch landscape?. No!
In the dining room – hills of ancient porcelain, crystal, Venetian
color glass. Unless it is possible to take these fragile things in the rocket?
Library. Books are hated it. By!.
Narrow dark corridors Ellen passed to wardrobe rooms. Here
smelled of naphthalene. Cases contained the whole history of a suit. Ellen
removed doors and looked inside. Silk, velvet, heavy brocade,
gold sewing, pearls… And what sizes! As if wore these dresses
the died-out breed of giants. Ellen reached own clothes,
where the dresses sewed for it by the best tailors were stored. To take, to be
can, this gray silk dress? Or this black, output?
Ball – steel color? To what? Evening receptions, theaters… All this
“there” it is not necessary…
Many hours she wandered about the house. Took one thing in hand and, forgetting about
to it, mechanically put back, went further.
It turned out as a result that she loves nothing and it is not tied to anything.
Ellen has no lovely, expensive things. But why then she so dreamed about
inheritance? In what business? She could not understand it.
With bitterness she entered the room of lady Hinton. The aunt sat at a desk
mahogany and, as the usurer accepting gold in a mortgage
weighed diamonds on pharmaceutical scales.
For Ellen it was day of revelations. Having found the aunt behind this occupation,
Ellen suddenly felt that she hates her and despises. These feelings
long ago were concealed in her soul and now emerged on a surface.
– Selected? – lady Hinton asked.
– Selected nothing, – the girl answered and took seat behind the aunt at
fireplace.
– Why?
– Because I do not know what to select.
