In the celebrated Aldobrandini fresco-painting, found in the baths of Titus, the bride is seated veiled on a bed, with the pronuba or bridesmatron near her, whilst the bridegroom sits at the foot of the bed.

Upon entering the dining-room, the painting faced one from the opposite end of the room, receiving light from a large landscape window on the left, and an overlight of electricity by night, the room being otherwise in darkness.

Cenci: For Beatrice worse terrors are in store / To bend her to my will. Lucretia: Oh! to what will? / What cruel sufferings more than she has known / Canst thou inflict?

So many Scotch and even Glasgow goods, and above all the old fusty warehousy smell, put me very much in mind of Candleriggs Street.
