Albe Read the excerpt from "The Oval Portrait," by Edgar Allan Poe.
The chateau into which my valet had ventured to make forcible entrance, rather than permit me, in my
desperately wounded condition, to pass a night in the open air, was one of those piles of commingled gloom
and grandeur which have so long frowned among the Appennines, not less in fact than in the fancy of Mrs.
Radcliffe. To all appearance it had been temporarily and very lately abandoned. We established ourselves in
one of the smallest and least sumptuously furnished apartments. It lay in a remote turret of the building.
