Suddenly this was blotted out. The room was dark-utterly dark.
"And then the green glow began-
"At first it was the dimmest gleam. It did not come from outside. It was in the room itself. It would flicker
and dim, flicker and dim. But always after each dimming it was brighter. It was green like the light of the
firefly. Or like looking at moonlight through clear green water. At last the green glow became steady. It
was like light, and still it wasn't light. It wasn't brilliant. It was just glowing. And it was everywhere-under
the dressing table, under the chairs…I mean it cast no shadows. I could see everything in the bedroom. I
could see the baby asleep in her crib, the doll's head on her shoulder…
"The doll moved!
"It turned its head, and seemed to listen to the baby's breathing. It put its little hands upon the baby's arm.
