The concealing shroud has shifted from the bedside of a sleeping Georgette & now resembles a bunch of damp towels as it rests on the tiles beside a bath that has no taps, no obvious out- let pipes. Rotate the painting, & stairs appear. & though the chapel at the top of them is set into solid rock, it means only that an exit is behind you. A- void the abyss which is al- ways here- or thereabouts. & beware the imminent arrival of a cascade of water falling from the upturned bath.
