Many details of the story’s place
“The room in which I found myself was long and low, with many
rugs and skins scattered about on a polished wood floor. Small cases
stood here and there, and the walls were decorated with spears and
swords and paddles, and other things which find their way into
museums. There were some queer clothes, too, which had been
brought from savage countries, and the lady took down a large
leather sack-bag from among them.” (p. 5)

The narrator tells himself – First person
“She worked upon me so, partly with her scorn and partly with this
money that she held before my eyes, that I believe I should have
yielded and taken my chances upstairs, had it not been that I saw her
eyes following the struggle within me in such a crafty, malignant
fashion, that it was evident she was bent upon making me the tool of
her revenge, and that she would leave me no choice but to do the old
man an injury or to be captured by him.” (p. 6)
