Gentola--We are in a very spacious room, through whose large alcoved
windows one obtains a fine view of the lawn with its great beds of
blooming plants and a lovely fountain throwing jets of sparkling water
high into the air. The room is panelled in rose colored woods which
rise to the ceiling and curve to its centre, meeting under a great
cluster of carved foliage and rodel blooms. In the hearts of the
rodels, which are of exaggerated size, are crystal bulbs, and I wish I
might understand Ento's system of electric lighting, which is so unlike
that of Earth. The floor is a mosaic of a very delicate rose tinted
field, with shaded sprays of rose colored flowers scattered over it,
and the wide border is of shades of rose colored foliage, grasses and
flowers. The effect is delicate, very unique, and I think extremely
pretty. In the centre of the apartment is a fountain, whose large basin
is of white marble, veined with palest rose. It is in the form of a
full blown rodel, and from its heart, tiny jets of water are thrown
upward, striking a peculiar arrangement of crystal cups, producing
soft musical sounds similar to the notes of a music box. All about the
apartment are handsome divans, chairs and tables, on the latter are
books, papers and other reading matter. There are swings and hammocks,
and in the further one reclines a young girl with flowing dusky hair,
olive-hued skin, lovely features, dark large, luminous eyes, full
scarlet lips, through which her teeth gleam like pearls, and a form
of perfect proportions. To me the eyes of the Entoans are their most
noticeable feature. They are so large, so luminous, but always I see in
them a sort of brooding expression as though in their depths lies some
sorrowful memory.
