my bed , my old oak bed with its columns , was opposite to me ; on my right was the fireplace ; on my left the door , which was carefully closed , after i had left it open for some time , in order to attract him ; behind me was a very high wardrobe with a looking-glass in it , which served me to dress by every day , and in which i was in the habit of inspecting myself from head to foot every time i passed it .
