Paneled walls with rich blue and silver insets frame the cozily close chamber. The air within is dry and redolent with complex herbal notes, the odor arising from a polished cedarwood humidor positioned at one end of a sumptuous leather couch that stretches along most of one wall. Moonlight gleams through a frosted glass window depicting prowling wolves and prancing bucks, feebly illuminating the outline of a luxuriant leather seat with a smoky halo. A crystal snifter catches the light, sitting atop a patterned silver tray near the door. |
