She soon comes upon a Faun wearing a scarf, carrying an umbrella, and holding packages in his arms. The wardrobe goes back farther than she thought, and as she climbs deeper and deeper into it, she soon finds herself walking on freshly fallen snow when she looks up, she is deep in a snowy wood, and in front of her there is an old lamp-post. She opens it to see what’s inside, and, after finding a row of fur coats, climbs up into it to rub her face into the furs.
