Knickknackery

I really do like the book-ending of these objects--the soot-coated angel and the korl woman kept behind a curtain--and had hoped also to attend to the bit at the story's end where Harding Davis writes, "The gas-light wakens from the shadows here and there the objects which lie scattered through the room...homely fragments, in which lie secrets of all eternal truth and beauty. Prophetic all!"
