nothing. He had brought in food and wine, actors,
musicians, and dancers. All of this, and life itself, was inside
the castle. Outside lay the Red Death.
Towards the end of the fifth or sixth month, while the
Red Death was at its most deadly outside, the Prince gave
a wonderful masked ball for his friends. It was a wild and
wonderful ball, but first let me tell you about the rooms in
which he gave the ball./There were seven rooms in all. In

the passages outside the rooms. Each fire was opposite a
window, and so the light from the fire shone through the
coloured glass and filled each room with strange and fantastic
shadows. But in the black room the firelight that shone
