A picture comes up from the lumber room of a Styrian schloss, cleaned and revarnished, dated 1698: Mircalla, Countess Karnstein. it is the face of the girl asleep down the corridor, the beautiful guest left behind by a carriage accident, who never rises before one o'clock and will not say where she comes from.

In the rapture of my enormous humiliation I live in your warm life, and you shall die—die, sweetly die—into mine.
Carmilla, Sheridan Le Fanu
