"...and often from a reverie I have started, fancying I heard the light step of Carmilla at the drawing room door."

fanart of the novel 'carmilla' featuring carmilla standing in a door way, her back to the viewer but her head slightly turned like she's just been caught. the image is inspired by the following quote from the book - "...and to this hour the image of Carmilla returns to mind with ambiguous alterations—sometimes the playful, languid, beautiful girl; sometimes the writhing fiend I saw in the ruined church; and often from a reverie I have started, fancying I heard the light step of Carmilla at the drawing room door.”
