A Grand Suspended Reverie

My claws found irresistible traction along the ribbed brass stem of the hanging dining fixture! Scaling upward past the cool metal curves, I ventured straight into the grand centerpiece hanging from the ceiling. Nestled securely between two curved brass arms, I found a dazzling cluster of dangling cut-crystal pendants. With a sly grin, I reached out and gently swung one faceted droplet against its neighbor. *Ting!* A crystalline chime echoed across the darkened room, followed by a shower of refracted amber sparkles splashing across the ceiling. Perched high above the slumbering furniture, I leaned back against the central brass orb and tipped my top hat to the quiet parlor below.
