Circular and endless, rimmed and hung overhead with inky black curtains, smooth as a panther pelt but with the starry constellations of a leopard. Masked dancers in elegant gowns of lace and damask, pinstriped or soot-coloured suits whis across the checked floor on squares of white and black moonstone. Circumzenithal arcs encompass the circus folk in a low wall of ivory, each crest topped with silver balls reminiscent of the jugglers outside. Above hang silver stars, mirror surfaces flashing in the gossamer glow.
