A 15-in. solid gold organ plays, a silver nightingale sings by electricity. A golden chandelier is hung with pear-shaped diamonds, lighted by electric bulbs the size of wheat grains. Pumps in the dungeon and tanks in the turrets make fountains splash, chimes tinkle. For the library many an author penned a tiny book in miniature. For the walls artists painted miniature murals. Miss Moore will take...
