The music rose to an eerie climax as, on reaching the painted doorway of the rustic peasant’s hut, Sir James and the Ranger bent their heads and followed the dancers unhesitatingly into the gloom beyond. Neil and Clara followed them in but Mrs MacLean hung back in sudden horror as she realized that the door to the cottage was not really a door at all. It was a huge mirror similar to those that lined the walls of the restaurant and even as Clara walked through it, the dim interior of the cottage vanished abruptly, leaving Mrs MacLean staring horrified at her own reflection.
