The door of another room to the right was also open and in that room also she found nobody.

There stood a bed with a bear skin for a coverlet, other bear skins spread on the floor served instead of carpets and on the walls were bright lynx, and wildcat skins.
From this room there was a door leading into a third room and here also she found nobody.

The walls of this room were covered with weapons--guns, pistols and curiously shaped swords and daggers, in rows and crossed, hanging on nails and leaning against the walls.

On the oaken table stood stuffed beasts and birds, under the table was a stuffed fox fastened to a chair; a pair of wild boars' heads with powerful tusks were over the door, but there was no sign of any living beast.
Henrietta fancied that the master of this little house must be away but not far off and she made up her mind to wait till he returned home.

Yet one hour after another passed away and Henrietta was at last obliged to go on further lest she should have to pass the night there and, only when she was already some distance away, was she struck by the peculiar circumstance that all round the hut grass was growing thickly and that no path led up to it.
In a few weeks' time curiosity drew her again in the same direction.
Alone, without any escort, she stood before the forest dwelling, fastened her horse to the fence and passed through the door.
Everything was just as she had seen it on the first occasion.
