The Lady Musica
When nothing could make Gösta Berling
his own glad self again after he had helped
the young Countess in her flight, the cavaliers
decided to seek the help of the Lady Musica, who,
as you know, is a mighty fay, and comforts many
sufferers.
And so, one evening in July, they opened the
doors of the great salon at Ekeby, and took down
the shutters. The sun—the late evening’s big red
sun—and the cool night were invited in.
The striped coverings were taken off the furniture,
the piano was opened, and the muslin round
the Venetian glass chandeliers was taken away. The
gilded griffins supporting the marble tables shone
again in the light, the white goddesses danced on
the black panels over the long mirrors, and the
multifarious flowers on the silken damask that
covered the furniture gleamed in the evening light,
and roses had been gathered and brought in—the
whole room was filled with their scent. There were
wonderful roses ofunknown names which had been
brought from foreign lands to Ekeby. There were
the yellow roses, in which the veins showed red as
in a mortal, and the creamy white with ragged edges,
and the pink with their outer petals as colorless as
water, and the dark red with their black shadows.
