Marvelous craftsmanship, don't you think? Such grace in their supple forms. To think they were once animated by an artificial soul. So good of the countess to furnish a chamber where the dollmaker can possess his creations once more.
You take a moment to interject and suggest these chambers are in fact prisons for their inhabitants.
Well sir, I never! These are comfortable havens provided by our countess. A prison is in the "eye of the beholder," which I dare say is the best description for our next showing: a legendary eyebeast known as the beholder. Gaze upon the eye above the next door and I shall tell the tale... of Gorjax the beholder.
