Chapter XIII
THE CAVE IN THE MOUNTAIN. _Dr. Fabos Makes Himself Acquainted with the Villa San Jorge._ Joan had spoken of a Bluebeard’s cupboard in my bedroom. This I opened the moment I went up to bed. It stood against the outer wall of the room, and plainly led to some apartment or gallery above. The lock of the inner door, I perceived, had a rude contrivance of wires attached to it.
