The first person who saw the strange told the next person, who told another, and in a few minutes a cry of fear and horror rose up from the crowd.
Now you will remember that everyone at the ball was wearing strange cloaks and masks, which belonged more to the world of dream and wild imagination than to everyday life. So why, you may ask, this horror, and this fear? But even in the cruelest heart there are some fears too terrible to laugh at. The tall thin figure of the stranger was dressed from head to food in the white clothes of the dead. And the mask over the faer was frighteningly real it was the face of a dead man. Worse still, the face and the body were covered with red, horrible blood! Here, in the middle of all that dancing and happiness was a living picture of the Red Death!
