gingerly, draped, silhouette
My statue of Paul Wesley has a drape gingerly draped over it when I turn off the lights and take off the drape and shine a torch it causes a silhouette on the wall which makes me smile
Not really wanting to delve into Lovecraftian works with those themes, I would, if I read them, wonder where the lynx fitted in and have to have the drapes closed, to keep the dark out.
